The top piece

I figured the diameter of the horizontal piece [7''] and made the top piece 1''    [8''] . for the fold and sewing

only thing I did not consider is the stretching of the leather. I think i will try leaving the extra 1/2   of the 1''   off to compensate for the stretch?

First thing I thought of. 

Great start! I don't know if it will help but Tandy has a free hat pattern pack.Might be able to get some ideas out of it.

Love your rustic stuff Frodo. I might have mentioned Tony See a time or two but if you want some inspiration or a pattern,
