These are expertly crafted "hitched" horsehair, cowboy hat bands. The hat bands were hand crafted by a life server at the Deer Lodge Montana State Prison. The bands both show fantastic, concentric diamonds, in a vibrant robin egg blue color, they also feature beautiful whites, browns, and blacks. These hat bands are not braided, but hitched - a much more time consuming and tedious craft. The hat bands were purchased by the consigner, directly from the mother of the inmate, who is sure to find and purchase all of her sons goods. Each band is adjustable, and has tuck-loops for the extra length of horsehair. The bands show very good condition. Each band measures approximately 1/2" thick, 9 1/4" long, and 7 1/8" wide - that is the measurement with the band adjusted about half way.
