Hat Band Tooling Template

Recommended Posts

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.

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 :)

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.

the pattern repeats and you have it all in that pic the final is all you need now.

The original should be easy to draw. The repo offered by Knudson is cheesy by comparison. They do have some nice hats though. I would choose the Dude style if I were looking for another hat.

looks great.  Can't wait to see your finished product.  Great idea of printing out the photo to use as a guide.

none of the copies i have seen really match, i think a pear shader is the key the leaves don't look correct in most of them IMO. some look like an embossing wheel actually.

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.
