For Shabbos, Yom Tov and simchas, choose a sheitel band in a rich fabric like velvet or a sleek one like scuba, in a classic color such as black, and in the width that suits your custom. A beautiful band is one of the simplest ways to make your sheitel feel special for the occasion.

What makes a good Shabbos band?

  • A rich fabric. Velvet is the classic. Its plush pile catches the light beautifully.
  • A timeless color. Black goes with every outfit and every wig shade.
  • The right width for you. Choose the width that suits your custom and your look.
  • All-day comfort. Shabbos and simchas are long days, so an adjustable, comfortable fit matters.

Best fabrics for Shabbos bands

Velvet

The go-to for Shabbos and simchas. Our Rich Velvet band has a dense, plush pile and a rich, elevated finish.

Scuba

For a modern, sleek look, Classic Scuba gives a clean, sculpted line and resists wrinkles all day.

Signature or Limited Edition for Shabbos?

Choose Signature for a crisp, tailored look with rolled, stitched edges that hold their shape. Choose Limited Edition for a soft, lined band with clean, flat edges that lies close to the wig for a seamless finish.
