In search of a witches hat.

[NogoodatLW]

I am looking to have two witches hats made probably late January to early February for my wife and a friend. I am interested in what the steps are I need to go through and a general idea of the cost. Please over calculate instead of low-balling. I know it is a skill set worth paying for and I would rather find out it was cheaper than quoted than more expensive. Thanks in advance.

You need wood block head shape 1. 5" thick taper to match hat height . for the upper hat I would use 3oz vegtan with bag stiffener and satin liner . for the brim same 3oz vegtan  with bag stiffener in between 3oz top and bottom glued and stitched around outer brim with a nice burnished edge. finish Black pro dye with top coat of resolean  top seam flat French hand stitch no overlap 6" brim skive glue and stitch to top ,hat liner inner band stitched at the same time hat height around 14" hat  dia head plus11"        Price around $550.00 each
