Contributing Member fredk Posted May 10, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted May 10, 2018 No lining at all, just the raw leather inside Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members LearningCurveLeatherwork Posted May 10, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 10, 2018 The hats are great, and I could see how they would fly off the shelves at a medieval festival. They could even make a decent welders hat. I'm also thinking about trying to make a really simple motorcycle shifter boot protector, I think that would be a fun little project. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted May 10, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted May 10, 2018 Actually my best year was 2004; Will Smith wore a similar looking hat in 'I, Robot'. People wanted the 'Will Smith Hat'. I must have done about 50 of them that year. >> I am not a mass producer! I recommend you get some of the Leatherwork books of the 1970s and earlier. They have loads of small projects which can either be copied or adapted. I have a book from the 1950s or late 1940s; in it are precise instructions for making gloves. That book cost me about $2. With the gloves and other projects in it its worth far more to me Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members LearningCurveLeatherwork Posted May 10, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 10, 2018 Oh man, I know exactly what you're talking about! That's the same year that Converse came back in style like crazy because of that same movie! So interesting the way little things like that have such a grand effect. Quote
