1. A fabric watch band comprising an elongated fabric strap having upper and lower sides, opposed longitudinal edges and first and second end portions, said first and second portions of the strap being reversely bent on the strap to the opposite sides thereof to form finished end edges, a pair of complementary pressure attachable components positioned to the opposite sides of said strap in overlying and concealing relation to the reversely bent end portions, and stitching securing each component and underlying reversely bent end portion to the strap, said pressure attachable components being formed of a fabric-like material incorporating releasably engageable hook-like elements on one component and loop-like elements on the second component and watch mounting means fixed to one side of the strap, said watch mounting means comprising a pair of loops, each loop comprising a length of material having the opposed ends positioned in generally overlying relation to each other, and means fixing the loop ends to the strap, said means fixing the loop ends to the strap comprising a pair of complementary fastener components, one fastener component being fixed to the strap and the second fastener component being fixed to one end of the loop, the second end of the loop having an aperture therethrough freely positionable in overlying relation to the strap about the strap mounted fastener component whereby the two fastener components can be interlocked with the apertured end of the loop trapped therebetween for a combined removable mounting of the loop on the strap and a closing of the loop for the retention of a watch.
