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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

battlemunky Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrampaJoel Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brokenolmarine Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
