Emergency Sweatband recommendations

Post by Baldwyn »

Hey folks,

So thanks to all the helpful tutorials on here, last night I carved out a block, and blocked my first hat. It's not an Indy fedora, it's just a quick felt hat I'm making for my Halloween costume. And it's almost Halloween! So it became obvious that I need a sweatband. Is there a common source of sweatbands in brick and mortar stores? Or a good substitute? Does it have to be reeded, or could I actually use leather strips, or something?

Thanks!
