Sperrier Report post Posted October 20, 2020 Here is my very first hat. my first commissioned piece for a self declared pirate captain no less. It was a lot of fun to make. I fould the perfect oil tanned leather at SLC and the pattern is from dieselpunk.ro. It gave it just the right look. I have already been asked to make another, and so it begins.

fredk Report post Posted November 2, 2020 Most excellent What weight, or thickness, of leather did you use? And did you use a wire around the edge of the brim to make it hold its shape? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sperrier Report post Posted April 15, 2021 I used a 5oz oil tan leather from SLC. I used 1.5MM craft wire in the brim. I made this for an actual sailing pirate that would experience high winds and the wire was not made for that, so I fixed the sides in-place like in the Pirate movies. I would use 2MM or 3MM to handle wind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
