I ended up getting two, the black (bonded) and the brown(true leather). They are well made, and very soft. I mention soft as in the opposite of dried-out.
It comes unexpectedly with a badge to act as a retainer. Wow! Don't know how they do it, at this price point. You will not find a better value than Jacaru, in my opinion, unless you have the skill to make your own headband that is.
Did have a question, and their customer support is remarkable and fast. They are relentless, in a nice way, to assure your satisfaction. John provided the best of communication and support.
Yes, these folks have many good products, and great value for your $$ (Yes, I purchased these from the USA, and they shipped very fast via post with tracking, and I had to sign for them.)
Highly recommend. I would absolutely buy more with confidence without hesitation. Here are the 5-plaits I rec'd. The black one was bonded material, and my preference was the brown one, which was leather strip. They are each about 1" wide, about 1/3 wider than my old band which I managed to break. The feather is mine. Pictures - the real-deal - notice the craft of the weave - yes, very well done.
And how did I break my headband? Hats are meant to be worn, and I had been lax with my (Insert famous Australian hat brand here). So, I used a stretcher, carefully, and completely overlooked that my old 5 plait hat band had dried out, and was sewn to the hat at 2 points, as such, couldn't stretch and broke. In no small part because it was old and dried out. Hence the need for a new hat band, and for sure the new brown band, although wider than my original, will likely last another 25 yrs, - that is my plan.
I wanted a different hatband than the one that came with a different brand of hat I purchased. This Jacaru plaited band was just what I wanted, shipped to me in a very timely manner. Totally happy customer. I did have to figure out how I was going to fit it to my hat, but it worked just fine.
By using a soft measuring tape, measure the circumference of your head just above your ears and refer to the size guide below. If you are in between sizes go up to the larger size. You can always place a sweatband or size reducer (purchase from our accessories here) in the front and or back of the hat. If you have any difficulty determining your size, please send us the measurements and we can recommend a size to fit.
