alpha2 Posted June 20, 2022 Report Posted June 20, 2022 Well done! Looks comfy. I like the turquoise highlights. Quote So much leather...so little time.
Members AlamoJoe2002 Posted June 20, 2022 Members Report Posted June 20, 2022 I like the hat. I have some thin leather I may try it with. Can you share the process steps? Joe Quote
Members Thescandall Posted June 20, 2022 Members Report Posted June 20, 2022 I think its great. I’ve been wanting to make one as well. Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted June 20, 2022 CFM Report Posted June 20, 2022 i like that hat too. What type of leather is it made from? Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on.

Odd Lot Oil Tan Sides | Springfield Leather the pattern is dieselpunk ro indiana jones i did a few changes changes..... added a wire on the crown used a leather trim on the crown doubled the leather on the brim used lace instead of saddle stitch instead of crown being inverted i let the edge stand proud Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles Stand your ass up during the National Anthem

Members battlemunky Posted June 21, 2022 Members Report Posted June 21, 2022 What'd you use for brim and crown wire? I have the plans for this and was thinking of trimmer line but didn't know if it would be stiff enough. Quote

That is exactly what the problem is. I wanted the lace stitching to bee seen ,Fashion over form So I corrected the problem and I am ok with the look, Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles Stand your ass up during the National Anthem

Members GrampaJoel Posted June 25, 2022 Members Report Posted June 25, 2022 I like the original one best,,, as dieselpunk style. The second one doesn’t look dieselpunk as much. IMO. Sure the crown on the first one is a bit wonky,,,,but in dieselpunk ,,,, a lot of the style is wonky. nice work, just the same! Joel Quote
Members johnnydb Posted June 25, 2022 Members Report Posted June 25, 2022 I like hats and have been thinking about doing one. I like this one too. I haven't decided on which one to start. Quote
Members suzelle Posted June 26, 2022 Members Report Posted June 26, 2022 What as unique looking hat, really wonderful! Quote
Members Brokenolmarine Posted June 26, 2022 Members Report Posted June 26, 2022 I like the second one better, the crown on the first did look off to me too, but then, I'm more traditional. Very nice. Quote
Members Wild Bill46 Posted October 1, 2022 Members Report Posted October 1, 2022 Im Late as usual: But, man that's really, really nice, Frodo The turquois does make it pop ! Been thinking Ide make a top hat, haven't yet though, But, I do want to, and soon I hope ! Congratulations !!!!!!! Quote
Members doubleh Posted October 2, 2022 Members Report Posted October 2, 2022 I like it although it would be too hot for me to wear except in the dead of what we call winter. Quote
