4 dollar hat

Recommended Posts

So after searching the globe for a new ball cap and not finding anything i liked i decided to just make one. Pulled a wallymart hat on close out for 4 bucks. Made it into oil cloth first then added the brim and band. It is dyed and finished only with antiquing and super shene, Skived the edges  so it doesn't look bulky and sewed it on with my Chinese shoe patcher. I screwed up a few stitches but the patcher didn't,  it ran flawlessly. This was the test run for my patcher and my it did great I'll be selling these bad boys they are soooo redneck lol.

Thanks Fred you know i was thinking about your your hat bands and contemplated making the band a bit wider and adding about three 22 cal bullet loops on each side.

Great job, I like you oak leaves and meandering design. Kinda looks like I might have done it. I like what you did. Keep up to good work.

Great tooling work on that!  Does it make the bill much heavier where it wants to ride down while wearing?

What defines 'redneck' and what defines 'English Gent' ?

I'm pretty bad at dropping people or cultures in to definitions that are sort-of not very definitive

I'm not being silly, just stoopid

I mean 'viking', 'eskimo', 'native American' I can get but some others ??

Its the same with music - what goes into what style? I dunno with most

Nice hat I guess for those that don't know if they are coming or going.
