Shorty’s Custom Hattery Double Buck-Stitch
Buck-stitching: a technique used to securely join two or more pieces of leather along a seam. Western fashion has once again embraced the technique and its safe to say that buck-stitching is back in a big way.
Hat companies like Barbara’s Custom Hats, Greeley Hat Works, and Shorty’s Cowboy Hattery have all introduced hats with buck-stitched edges. It’s a subtle way to add some edge to a black hat for the show pen or rodeo arena. If you’re feeling brave vivid colors like red can be laced through your hat. You can even have a double buck stitch!
