ya that's the site I eventually found myself today and went from there. I only get little bits of time here and there to look into stuff

appreciate that...im kind of a perfectionist when it comes to stuff like this so when I'm done I can say, I couldn't have matched it any closer. Best I have found, looks like I'm close, but its 3 pear shaders close together. i see the decorative cuts as well. Charles Bronson had the same hat band.. Bronson's pictures are way better, thank God for reused movie props.

Thank ya Sir! Ya that's basically what I used (p367) but from the pictures I can find that arn't super grainy some of the leaves looks like it has what I did and some are completely shaded in. maybe they are alternated? I cant really tell, just shooting from the hip

in case anyone is interested, I was messing around with it today after work trying to figure it out. I think the camo tool is the right one but the little leaves need more experimenting. From different pictures I've looked at some of the leaves look like they have thumb prints thru them like i did and some look completely shaded in with a pear like chuck123wapati mentioned... haven't been able to tell if there are any decorative cuts or not from pictures.

ya i finally sat down an just drew it up. I was trying to be lazy

exactly! Damn man you whipped that out quick.

gonna see if i can take the pick i got from the internet and pull it into photoshop and pull a pattern from it. Ya it really looks way different to me from the other one they are selling.

see i cant tell enough if its a rope look or they just went down it with a camo tool, and the other hat from the seller Dwight posted looks completely different to me. Its probably going to be one of these deals where i have to just find as many pictures on google from as many angles as i can and just do my best to redraw it. Just figured Id check here first (incase someone has already done the hard part)

Good, that means I'm not yet completely blind lol

the feller i did the holster for is making me a new felt. Forgot to mention he was a custom hat maker. Nothing like a little trading work

I appreciate that. The one they have on the hat they are selling looks different to me. Seems like the one from the movie had ridges or like a camouflage tool was used all the way around the vine. The carving also looks different to me.

Thank you, I appreciate the praise from ya'll. Ya, he was pretty happy with it, which also makes me happy. No there is not toe plug, I never liked those because of the fact that dirt or other stuff can get down in there and sit and its difficult to clean out. I ended up having to make my own wide lace to go on it, cause he wanted it modeled after the main holster on his rightside. Problem was it was a custom made holster his father had done back in the 80's and the lacing was wide.

Haven't been very active on here for a few years but still making stuff. Recently made this for a buddy of mine that wanted a right hand cross draw for his gunslinger rig. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Awesome! Literally watched this episode and the avenger 1911 a few days ago.

Hi, Im trying to see if anyone has the tooling template or knows where I can get it for the hat band on Clint Eastwoods hat from The Good, the bad and the ugly? Would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. Problem is most of the photos I've found on the internet are difficult to really see what's going on. I can get the general gist of the design but I wanted to see if I could get it exactly somewhere before I just "wing it." Thanks either way in advance. C.
