My First Leather Hat

[Bodean]

Tougher than I thought, as I had to make my own patterns. I did learn a bit, and will try again. This one will be mine.

I like it. What kind of leather did you use? Did you line the inside with anything?

Thank you. I used 3-4 ounce veg tan. I put a suede band on the inside

Looks good, it the crown 2-piece?  I ask because of the seam.  The hats I make have the seam in the back.

 

Thank you. It is 2 piece. I was going for a Aussie bush style. The next will probably be one piece if I can get my pattern drawn right, LOL

Pretty slick, especially for a first try!

Check the ones I don on my site, it might give you some ideas. 

Aren't you in SC? I would like to visit some day.

Especially for hand sewing. I need a machine, lol

Hah, well I'm in the hand sewing camp myself.  If you're planning on cranking them out then a machine may be called for, but I like the character hand sewing gives.

I don't think there is any danger of that at the moment, but a machine sure would speed things up. It is a workout on the hand stitching though. LOL

Besides i would have to figure out how to get head measurements to make a buyer one.
