Has Anyone Done A Tandy Mavrick Style Hat?

[xzanaith]

I am about to make one of these.I made the Top Hat a couple of years ago and it fits fine.After reading the comments I am going to cut one out of cardstock before I cut any leather this time I only have just enough black "lizard" embossed cowhide for one hat. LOL I will try to post a picture when I get it done.

I used the tandy pattern for a reference and made my own pattern for a "bush hat" here is a pic of a couple finished hats and a pic of one that after I was almost done sewing the brim on..I realized I had the wrong size brim with the wrong crown.... lesson learned.

Just wondering if you finished the hat ?

Here is a old photo of two hats I made 5 years ago.

The black one wasn't quite finished.

I didn't put the bend in the brim yet,& no hat band.

I used 4/5 oz, & it made the hat too heavy.

2/3 oz. would be better.

Yes I did finish the hat. But somehow I messed up and it was a little small. So I gave it to a buddy. I never took a picture but I am sure he can send me one to put up here. It looks nothing like the regular hat. I made changes to the top. It came out like a fedora on the top. I made it from 4-5 oz. I which it would have been 2-3 oz. Everything seemed right so when it came out small i was reallt disapointed. I don't think I will ever do another because of that. To much work to not be used. But my friend will use it at least theres that. When I get a picture from him I will post it. John

I have one I made about 20 years ago, still wear it. It is a bit different than the pattern, yes, it ran a tad small for me also. I double loop braided the edge of the brim. The brim is a bit large and I didn't curl mine at all, I was into buckskinning at the time and it served pretty well as an umbrella, LOL.
