Hatbands – who’d a thunk?
To a person living in the Northeast when the phrase “hatbands” is uttered , well, it conjures up visions of a weird musical unit. For the most part we don’t wear hats in the East, we wear caps and so I’ve not been exposed to things like “real hats” in any great way. Well wouldn’t ya know my friend SP, purchased himself a real hat, well… its mostly a real hat – not a Western heehaw, but a nice urban looking thing.
So I took off the cheap, icky plastic band thing that you’d not want on your person – and replaced it with this classy addition. The colors on this piece go all kooky and chameleon depending on the light – its pretty nuts and much more interesting than a flat color. SP’s been getting all kinds of compliments on the hat, so i think its working!
I’ll be coming out with a few 3/4″ as well as some 1″ hatbands in my ETSY store that will be trimmed, glued and screwed together with a cool brass concho.
Hat folks- stay tuned.
