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.

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?

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.
