Beaded hatband is just over halfway done now. The math for my hat size works out to be 11 diamonds.
It's being beaded by a lady who does custom bead work in the Native American fashion. I'm anxious to see it on my hat also.Anxious to see it on the hat,Jack.Nice work.
Thanks Bob. The band finished out at 7/8" wide.It looks fantastic H-Jack! The width is perfect.
I gave up on C&I magazine a couple of yrs ago. It kind of got away from the lifestyle & became a western fashion magazine. Still take American Cowboy magazine however.Wow great hat and band. Cowboys and Indians is a fun magazine too.
SB, welcome to the forum! I like your hat also & you wear it well. By curl on the brim, you mean the packer front? Keep wearing it daily! Glad you're here!The green does look very good on that hat. I very much like the finished product, band & hat together. Not to take attention from your post, but I figured I'd post a few pics of my newest addition. It's a black Akubra Riverina with 4" brim. Supposedly it was a limited run for the Riverina 4" brim. I'm sure some here will know more about that. I put a slight curl on the brim and added a paracord hat band. I'm really liking the hat band by the way. $15 was a steal IMO. Its become my daily hat. It's been through a couple down pours, several long days of working fence repairs, and is holding up nicely.
+1Very Nice! I really like a pinch front western.
