Hat Band Tooling Template

[Cody C]

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.

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.

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

your right and the design is thicker, takes up more space on the strap

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

Is it me or does the original look like the carving has almost a rope like look?  And if you blow up the 2 pictures the remake is more floral.

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)

i think its the same pattern but the original is much better done. The copy has been carved to thin to add the camo tooling and more background shows. the original has almost zero background and fills the whole strap.
