velvet browbands

[Bright_Spark]

I'm trying to find plain velvet browbands- ie without the big rossettes etc and just 2 colours.

Robinsons only seem to have the really fancy ones. Where else could I look?

Is there a website where I could get them made?

I got one made at a local tack shop where they do a bit of saddlery.

I got mine from rideaway. Don't know where else other than trying a few local shops

You could always make your own.

not sure how far into Hants you are but Buttons Saddlery who are just off Junc 3 of the M3 have loads of them in loads of different colours.... they have a website too....

Thanks everyone. Local tackshop doesnt have a huge selection (I obviously want akward colours LOL).

Scarlett I shall have a google for Buttons Saddlery. Thanks.

They are a really really easy to make. Have a look in the yellow pages for wool/sewing shops and see if they have any velvet ribbon. Then just plait the ribbon round the brow band ( have it at 45 degrees to the brow band one starting at the top of the brow band and the other at the bottom). Then I used to have both tails of the ribbon ponting down and sew them together then cut a little triangle out the end of the ribbon. I used to have my horse in all sorts of colours back in my school days!!
