Floppy Hat Band FAQs

Will these hat bands work on any hat?

Yes. Floppy Hat Bands can be worn on virtually any hat to change or enhance the look.

Do I need a special hat to wear one of these bands?

No special hat is required. These bands can be worn as a traditional hat band or styled as a decorative accent to refresh the look of an existing hat.

These hat bands look wide. How wide are they?

Floppy Hat Bands are intentionally designed with generous width to make a visual impact. They add a noticeable splash of color, texture, or pattern that can completely change the look of a hat.

How do the bands stay in place?

When paired with select Rawls-Riley Creations hats, Floppy Hat Bands use quick-release Velcro fasteners to help keep the band securely positioned on the hat. This means you don’t have to worry about the band slipping off when a hat is tossed in the car, caught by the wind, packed in a beach bag, or tucked into luggage for travel. It also makes it easy to switch bands whenever you want a different look using the same hat.

When worn on other hats, the bands can be styled and tied like a traditional hat band.

Can the fastening be removed?

Yes. If you prefer to wear the band without any fastening, just let us know at the time of purchase and it will be sent without it.

Are the bands adjustable?

Yes. Floppy Hat Bands are not preset to a specific size. They are designed with flexibility in mind and can be tied to fit a wide range of hat styles and sizes.

Can I wear these bands on different hats, or do they stay on one hat permanently?

You can absolutely move them between hats. As long as the band is not glued or sewn in place, it can be switched from one hat to another. Many customers enjoy using the same band on multiple hats or rotating bands to refresh the look of a favorite hat.

About Folies Line Prints

Folies hat bands are designed and made by Rawls-Riley Creations using artist-designed fabric prints carefully curated for color, scale, and how they work as a hat band. Only a small selection of prints make it into the Folies line.

Once a print is part of the Folies line, it remains part of the curated collection. Finished bands using these prints may sell out quickly—especially at shows—but the design itself is not gone. If a Folies print catches your eye, you can request a similar band through a custom order, even if the exact piece is no longer available.

Handcrafted

Every Floppy Hat Band is made in Kansas City using our original designs and patterns, with careful construction and hand-finished details. This is the way it’s done—so each band looks good, wears well, and reflects the craftsmanship behind it.

Care

Easy care for everyday wear. Most bands can be machine washed cold and air dried or dried on low heat. Bands made with specialty materials are best hand washed and air dried.

What Makes These Floppy Hat Bands Different

This is one of the most versatile hat bands you can wear. From bold bows to a more reserved, tailored look, the same band can be styled in multiple ways depending on the hat and your personal style. Get yours and wear it the way you want—bow or no bow—and enjoy more of those “Wow!” moments when a hat suddenly feels just right.
