Does anyone have a good pattern for making a leather tricorn hat? The tutorials I have found online rely on a rounded top with straight sides sewed on and witha brim added last. I was hoping for a more authentic-looking pattern with a completely rounded top (no stitched straight sides). Can anyone help or direct me to the right resource? I have 5oz. veg tanned tooling leather to work with and all necessary cutting, edging, stitching tools. Also, tips on how to finish the leather to make it a deep brown that would not stain the forehead would be appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance and a Merry Christmas to all leather workers out there!
