BILLY JACK MOVIE REPLICA HANDLOOMED BEADED HATBAND (NARROW) - Continuous Circle

Description

BILLY JACK HANDLOOMED BEADED HATBAND (NARROW) - Continuous Circle - Movie Replica
This is a hand loomed beaded Native American hatband in a pattern reproduced from the cult movie classic "Billy Jack".  The BJ hatband is made in a continuous circle on Berkley Fireline beading filament .  It is made of size 15/0 seed beads, which are much smaller and produce a more detailed design, and measures 7/8" across.  It does NOT have leather/cloth ties to get dirty or come unfastened.  It is also NOT made with a stretchy thread which will wear out over time and lose the integrity of the design by being pulled open.  The band is specifically made to fit YOUR hat.  It slips over the crown of the hat and fits snuggly at the base.
My hatbands are produced of a mix of traditional and advanced beading methods.  The beads are a reproduction of the type used back in the 1700's to 1800's with slight irregularities.  My beading method incorporates an updated vertical edge which hides the raw edges of the thread and gives the piece a "finished" look.  It also protects the threads from wear.  I use a traditional Ojibwa loom.
Due to the intricate detail work required for this beading, it requires about twice as long to complete as the regular sized beads.
Production time is from 10 days to 2 weeks.
ALL PURCHASES MADE AT THIS TIME WILL BE REQUIRE APPROXIMATELY 14 WEEKS DUE TO THE BACKLOG OF ORDERS.
Please state the measurement of the crown of the hat on the outside where the band will sit within 1/16".
THE HAT SHOWN IS LISTED FOR SALE SEPARATELY.  IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING.  PLEASE CHECK MY STORE.
