Moulding Leather

Recommended Posts

Hi there

I am looking to mould vegitanned leather, and could use some know how. My goal is to be able to make a dome to go at the center of a hat, without having to sew the arch of the dome. Can it be done, and if so how?

It can be done because people do it, but that's probably a question for a specialist. I've only seen hats being made once and they used a mold; I don't know if it's even possible to do it freehand.

There are tutorials in almost every Forum, on the 1st page, generally 'pinned'. You might want to check the 'Patterns&Templates' in the Fabrication forum. Also, look in the Specialty Leatherwork forums.

Post a pic or drawing of what type hat that you are looking to make. I'm sure someone here has the info you seek.

Welcome.
