Got married in this top hat. I made it with 8oz tooling leather. Please, be honest.

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.

I like it. It's got that "rustic" look to it. I'm not much into the roses, but I'd wear it.....

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 :crazy: lol!!
