FAQ
Where do you get the horse hair From?
An timeless cowboy tradition aged to perfection
Every Horse Hair item at Knot-A-Tail begins as a fine horsetail.
The horse hair is carefully and skillfully removed without harming or discomforting the animal. In fact, harvesting the horse hair is actually beneficial.
The hair is also collected right off the range, by hundreds of Working Cowboys, delivered to the factory where a full-time employee spends her entire day, sorting every single piece of hair.
The hair, gathered into a "hank," as it is called at this point, is then cleaned further sorted. We steam the natural hair to remove any dirt and foreign material from the hair. The hair that we use for our colored project is actually boiled to remove everything from the hair before the dye is added.
The raw hair, some of which is colored with natural pigments, is then separated and twisted by weavers into "hair-pulls." It is then braided or hitched to create our very distinctive designs.
Some of the hair is dyed to the boldest, brightest colors that we use for the most unique patterns for the fantastic selection of horse hair items that we can provide to you.
It is this combination of the natural Horse Hair fibers and skillful hands that braid or hitch all of our Horse Hair items, done in the Authentic Cowboy way, one-at-a-Time that provides you with the master craftsmanship and the largest selection of horse hair items anywhere in the world. It is this standard of excellence that we offer to our customers.
Enjoy everyone of our projects with absolute confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this “Genuine Horse Hair?
YES!! All our Horse Hair has been professionally washed and cleaned. So, if you are going to use our Bulk Hair for Crafts, tail extensions, fixing the tail on that antique Rocking horse or making Quill for your newest fly fishing project, be assured ours is cleaned and ready to use.
How do I put a stampede string on My Hat?
SUPER EASY!! Our Cotter pin stampede strings are very easy to attach. Just slip the cotter pins between the hat and the hat liner and spread the cotter pins apart. To use a Loop style stampede string, you have to put two small holes in the brim of your hat close to the crown, just large enough to slide the strings through. The loops make a Hat band around the crown of your hat. These look great and the stampede string will never pull out.
Are your Hat Bands Adjustable?
YES!! The Horse Hair Hat Bands will fit up to a size 8 hat. They adjust from 21 inches to over 30 inches. The Horse Hair hat bands are all very distinctive in styling trimmed with decorative tassels and capped with Spanish Half-Hitched Knots.
