I made a hat a while back. 

I used galvinized wire for the brim so I could shape it. I made the crown a little bigger than I needed so I could make a leather band on the inside to size it better. I used several coats of undiluted resolene to seal it.

 The only real regret was I made it to round.

I hand stitched it all.

I punched the holes in the brim then just pushed the needles through the thin leather I used for piping while feeding the wire.
