No problem, it's funny that you made the request because I meant to post that here and forgot. Going to be starting on one myself this week! Quote

tashabear Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 http://www.hatshapers.com/ These hat forms are designed for felt hats, so I don't know how they'd hold up to the stresses of stretching leather over them. They're not terribly expensive, though. Quote

Do you have some photos of your cavalier hat? I'd love to see them. -Andy Quote Blackthorn Leather on Etsy • Blackthorn Leather on Facebook

I've just been working out in the gas fields quite a bit lately (50+ hrs./wk) and not getting home till late hasn't helped much, like now, I just got home from school. I'll do my best to have them up tomorrow. It's actually a very simple, 3 pieces plus the hat band. Damon Quote
Members Vikti Posted January 28, 2009 Members Report Posted January 28, 2009 Here you go. Thanks for being patient everyone. I put them on my MySpace account because of the size of the photos. My leather photos Damon Quote

Do you have a tutorial or patterns on how you made it? It looks rather simple. I bet I could figure it out. What weight of leather is it? Looks kind of sueded too maybe. -Andy Quote Blackthorn Leather on Etsy • Blackthorn Leather on Facebook

Looks kind of sueded too maybe.-Andy I bought it at a renfaire about 10 years ago, way before I got into leather. If I had to guess I would say that it's made out of 6oz leather, It's not suede, the maker just put the flesh side out. I must say that it's good quality leather because I've worn it through several Texas thunderstorms with no shrinking, or at least not enough for me to notice. Because of this thread I'm thinking about making a pattern from it, with some changes, and make myself one for everyday wear. Here are the measurements of what I have: Brim 14"x16" - inside opening- 7"x 8 3/4" Height 3 3/4 + seam allowance with a circumference (top) of 23" + seam allowance Quote
Members grim jester Posted September 28, 2009 Members Report Posted September 28, 2009 I haven’t made it yet but I will be doing this one real soon hope I’m not to late to help http://www.houseofanoria.com/CaptainJack/Captain%20Jack%20Sparrow%20Hat.pdf Quote
