Can I replace the band on my cowboy hat?
On many cowboy hats, the decorative external hat band can be replaced or changed to personalize the appearance of the hat. This does not mean every band on every hat can be removed.
Before removing the original band, check how it is attached and what purpose it serves. If either is unclear, ask the hat maker or a hat specialist before attempting removal.
Three Ways to Change the Look of Your Hat
Simple leather, an engraved metal plate, or engraving directly into the leather: choose where you want the personal detail to appear.
Personalized Leather Hat Band with Engraved Metal Plate
Personalization is engraved onto a separate metal plate attached to the leather hat band. The photograph shows an engraved name as an example.

Custom Engraved Leather Hat Band
With this style, personalization is engraved directly into the leather rather than onto a separate metal plate. “Save Water, Drink Beer” is the example shown; Check the Etsy listing for the available personalization options.

Can I replace the existing hat band on my cowboy hat?
Many cowboy hats have a decorative external band that can be changed. Not every band is removable: check how yours is attached and what purpose it serves before removing it.
How do I adjust the hat band to fit my cowboy hat?
LeatherByPeter hat bands are adjustable, so you can fit the band directly to your own hat. Place it around the crown and adjust it until it sits securely and neatly. Even a very small difference in size can affect how well a hat band stays in place, which is why the adjustable design lets you fine-tune the fit on your individual hat.
Can a leather hat band be personalized?
Yes. The LeatherByPeter styles shown here include an engraved metal plate and engraving directly into the leather. The simple leather style is shown without personalized text.
What can be engraved on a leather hat band?
The photographs show a name on a metal plate and ‘Save Water, Drink Beer’ engraved directly into leather. Check the selected Etsy listing for the personalization options available for that design.
What is the difference between a hat band and a stampede string?
A hat band sits around the crown and primarily changes or decorates the appearance of a hat. A stampede string, also called a cowboy hat chin strap, helps keep the hat secure, particularly in wind or during outdoor use.
