Could you not finish it and sell it?

How do you work out the size of a hat?

Simple as can be; measure, in cm, around the head. just about 1 to 1.5 cm above the ears and eyebrows. For a small head this will be about 54 to 56 cm, for a medium head about 56 to 57 cm and for a large nut about 58 to 60 cm

Here is a conversion chart to go back to the old hat sizes

Thanks Fred. I guess it's not doing any good sitting on the shelf.

I've made 3 hats nothing special, but the thing is they use up a lot of leather, there heavy and hot to wear, so no more hats for me LOL:dunno::no:

hello

wantin to make a friend a leather hat yet I am not sure how to break down circumference of there head to be albe to make a pattern, any tips on how one breaks it down into how long & wide to make the pattern? not finding any info here when did search and not seeing anythng online other that how to know your hat size yet nothing on how pattern is made.

Use a cloth tape. Measure the circumference of the head. Then it's just math depending on what type of hat. 3 panel = circumference divided by 3+ your fudge factor or seam allowance etc. That's how we do it with fur hats anyhow.
