Our take · Researched, not tested

A black beaded band that adds texture without adding color.

Painted portrait of Walt Mercer
By Walt Mercer, felt, fit and care desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

Black beads on a hat band give you sparkle and texture while staying in the same color family. On a black hat it reads as a subtle detail up close. On cream, silverbelly or tan, the black beads stand out clearly. The Carson is sold as the band alone.

Walt's tip: Lay the band flat for a day before fitting it if it arrives coiled. It'll sit more evenly on the crown.
