Rattler76 Report post Posted March 28, 2016 I have made a few leather cowboy hats and I've had some success. I've been experimenting with different leathers and tried a couple patterns. I'm having inconsistent results using one pattern with different types of leather. I'd like to know what kinds of leather you guys have had the most success with when it comes to making cowboy hats and if you have any patterns. Of also like to know what tips you may have for making the brim fit precisely to the crown. Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roq Report post Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) I got the pattern for this one at http://www.bighousedaddy.com/ I used 5-6oz HO The hat band was a temp til I had time to do the snake, sorry no pics at the moment. Make sure you mark the center of the crown and brim... Edited March 28, 2016 by Roq Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rattler76 Report post Posted March 29, 2016 I got a pattern from there too. One hat I made was with the same leather as you. Then I bought some suede that was slightly thinner and all of the sudden the brim was bent all funny and put of shape and I can't figure out why.
