Members RavenAus Posted January 4, 2013 Members Report Posted January 4, 2013 This is my first hat, all in leather from the Tandy 2662 pattern 'Aristocrat' hat The pattern is a bit of a pig and not exactly symmetrical but it worked out in the end. I haven't dyed it yet, still deciding what colour to do it, brown or black. Quote Kind regards, Raven http://wolfscrafts.com/

Moderator immiketoo Posted January 4, 2013 Moderator Report Posted January 4, 2013 That looks great! I like how the hat follows the same lines as your face. Quote Learnleather.com
Members Cozee Posted January 4, 2013 Members Report Posted January 4, 2013 Great looking hat. Got a pic of the top? Quote Why yes, the Marine Corps is a department of the Navy. The Men's Department!!!! Semper Fi!!
Members ReneeCanady Posted January 4, 2013 Members Report Posted January 4, 2013 I like it! Can't wait to see how you decide to dye it. Are you going steampunkish with it? Quote www.facebook.com/alteredleather
Members RavenAus Posted January 4, 2013 Author Members Report Posted January 4, 2013 Thank you everyone! I'm dithering on the colour mainly cause I'm not too good at dyeing leather. I'm using Eco-flo from Tandy but it keeps ending up blotchy. Quote Kind regards, Raven http://wolfscrafts.com/
Members Matt S Posted January 5, 2013 Members Report Posted January 5, 2013 Eco Flo? Theres your problem. Get you a bottle of Fiebing's Pro Oil Dye. Much better. Quote
