This hat band style is made from a 5oz veg tan leather that can be finished with your choice of color. The new design spreads out the weight of the bullets or vials evenly around the hat. It uses a leather tie for fine tuning of size as the leather ages/stretches. The bullets are made from real .38 casings and lead, but do not have any powder or primer. They cannot be reloaded or fired and are only decorative.
It's available with your style choice:
10: brass bullets
10: silver bullets
10: mini vials with corks
Please note your preference for brass or silver rivets in the "personalization" box.
The overall strap length is 22". Using the leather tie allows this hat band to easily adjust to fit the outside of a hat crown that measures between 22" and 25" which includes most commercially available hats. If your hat is outside this range, take a measurement and contact us for custom size options.
We do not glue the bullets or vials in place, but it is not possible to mix and match. The bullets are slightly larger than the vials and the leather loops are made to fit.
**A note on yellow and black dye: I have not included "Yellow Fade" in the color options because black and yellow dye do not play well together. To get a fade, the base color is first applied and then black dye is sprayed over the base color along the edges. Black dye is very blue dominated and when it's sprayed over yellow and then buffed, the yellow tends to get a dingy, muddy green cast. **
