Great looking hats man!!
Nice work!! I’d like to have the detailed procedure for how you did this!!Hello,
About a year or so ago I was in the market for a new hat, and was frustrated to find that they were either too expensive or not what I liked, so I decided to make some hats for myself. Both of these hats are 180g western weight made from rabbit fur. If y’all are interested in making your own, let me know and I’ll post my whole process of how to do it.
Military cocked hats were black. So were the majority of civilian ones. You could totally have kept it.I made a black tricorn in the 90s. It lasted until I found out the black was military and brown was civie.
So I made one that looks just like
<------That one
Yessir, Millinery Warehouse looks to have two separate beaver blanks in different weights.Got a source for 100% beaver blanks?
I got one set up yesterday, titled “How I made my felt hats”Thread please, I’ve reshaped a few, deliberately and otherwise, but I’d sure like to know how to make one, and from someone who obviously knows how!!
Maybe one day!Mate you need to be selling these!
My grandfather and grandmother on my mother's side were Stetsons, and I understand distantly related to the family of the Stetson Hat company. Distantly related, considering they were probably 2 or 3 generations from the original family. BTW, I wear a Stetson crushable, and really would like to know how to make a hat like this for reenactment demonstrations. Please post process and pictures!Stetson, the very symbol of the West, was a Philadelphia company, right on old Broad Street! Nice work there!
