Frequently Asked Questions

What is Horse Hair?

Horse hair is the long, coarse hair growing on the manes and tails of horses. Horsehair can be very stiff or very fine and flexible, mane hair is generally softer and shorter than tail hair. The texture of horse hair can be influenced by the breed and management of the horse, including natural conditions such as diet or climate[53]. Horse hair is the only kind of hair that is harvested without killing the animal. The hair comes from the mane or tail. Think of it as a haircut. The barber doesn't kill you to lower your ears[54]. Horse hair is strong. Items made from it lasts for years, if not decades!

What is Horse Hair Braiding?

Most horse hair braiders use a square or box braiding technique to create the strands. The strands are about 1/8" square and then can be sewn together side-by-side to make a wide surface for any project. For example, a seven strand hat band will be 7/8"wide.
I have tried to learn the four strand braid technique. I found it confusing, very time intensive and the end result left a lot to be desired! The search for a braiding machine has been futile. My admiration goes to those who are proficient in the art.


The art of braiding has mostly survived by western prison inmate hobbyists making reins, belts, bracelets, earrings, hat bands and barrettes. Horse hair jewelry gives its wearers an earthy, rustic look.

What is a Hat Band?

A hat band is a band or ribbon placed about the crown of a hat, just above the brim[127]. The original purpose of a leather hat band was to adjust the hat size to fit the head and cover the stitching where the crown and brim meet. Today, the hat band can be an attractive accessory to change the look of all felt and straw hats. Changing the hat band restyles and personalizes a hat conforming to one's taste.

If a websites the only setback I'd say you're still ahead of your competition. Yours are definitely the better horsehair hatbands I've had and I'd much rather buy from a seller in the USA. I really appreciate you and your product. These are actually gifts, one for my daughter, and when she mentioned wanting one for her hat you were the first place I thought of.

How can we improve?
The product is great and leaves little to be improved. However, the site could be a little better laid-out.

from John in Sedro-Woolley, WA
Brown and White Five Strand Horse Hair Hat Band HH05K2-7

What made you want to try this product?
I do not leave too many of my hats as purchased. I wanted to try this hatband on my Stetson Pawnee (in Acorn) to give it more of a "Longmire-esque" kind of western look vs. the leather band it came with.

What do you think of the Appearance?
stars
It turns out that the band the color of the horsehair is perfect for the hat color. It looks great - just as I thought it would. Yes, I love the look.
What do you think of the Durability?
It seems to be constructed very well and will probably hold up in time. Too soon to tell…
What do you think of the Quality?
stars
The quality is excellent - the braiding is consistent throughout and the adjustment works perfectly.
What do you think of the Functionality?
stars
It functions well as a hatband for my hat, so that's all it needs to do.
Would you recommend this product to a friend?
Yes.
Is there anything else you would like to tell me?
I would not add a thing to this hatband, it is perfect just the way it is. I have another similar band with tassels, but it is a different hat and the tassels worked with it. (I shortened the tassels since they were way to long)..
