dirtclod Report post Posted August 17, 2012 Really can't see anything. Black on black didn't work for your picture and their pretty dark to. More light or a lighter background would help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toker Report post Posted August 17, 2012 Got married in this top hat. I made it with 8oz tooling leather. Please, be honest. I like it. It's got that "rustic" look to it. I'm not much into the roses, but I'd wear it..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rickybobby Report post Posted March 19, 2013 I like it! It is very cool! If you like making them there is a market for them. Selling a few may help finance your leather habit hobby. The Ren Faire crowd and some other LARP groups really like top hats and will buy them right off of your head! I have a friend the goes to RF's as "Top Hat" the pirate, and as you might guess he make leather top hats. He keeps a few in his car to show people and shows pictures from his phone and will usually sell all he takes with him and also takes a few orders. His sell for $120 to $140 depending on trim he puts on. Yours look as good as his (maybe a little better! lol!) he is a pirate, they can be a little messy lol!!
