Have qualified for the FOC in July in the exracers class and am looking for the ultimate, classy ,but blingy browband i can find. Have looked on ebay and various other sites, but the all seem a bit boring.
I want something that will catch the light and will stand out in the ring, without being gawdy.
My jacket is navy blue and my stock is cream and gold, Will is a mid bay.
Any suggestions??

I got this off ebay for May!

There are loads of people who make them - prices start from £10 and go up to £100s!!! if it is indoors and under lights, we often use tiny stick on mirrors on the rosettes and a few on the front of the browband. But these are only for evening performances. You should be wearing a tie for the day time and stock for the evening generally. Blue, yellow and some nice rosettes at the side would look good. You can get velvet that has a silver thread running through it which would look nice. Designer Browbands do some great ones, and Gill is very good at coming up with a nice colour scheme to match your outfit.

Thanks for the tip regarding ties and stocks!
I actually like the Swarovski crystal browbands, i have thought about the straight one with a thin line on the top and bottom edge.
Would this be acceptable? or are the traditional ones more favourable?
