Cowboy hat chin straps attached through the sweatband

A guide to leather stampede strings with sweatband-mounted cotter pins.

This style is designed to attach beneath the hat sweatband using cotter pins and split rings. It is a different attachment system from eyelet chin straps. Check the way your hat is made before selecting a style.

What to check before choosing

How does it attach?

The attachment uses cotter pins at the sweatband and small split rings. Confirm this style works with your hat.

A movable slider lets you adjust how the strap sits below the chin.

What if your hat has eyelets?

Eyelet chin straps use a different attachment method. See that separate guide before buying.
