Made myself some hats

[DiMarco_Mercantile]

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.

I've made a few hats but none anywhere near what you have done. I, for one, would be interested in your process.

I would also be interested in how you make these. I don't think I would ever try but I would like to know how you do these. They look fantastic.

Is your birth name Stetson ?

You should consider getting into making hats for the Western Wear hat business ( 'jes sayin' )

Thank you! I’ve thought about doing that on the side sometime in the future once I get myself a good workshop.

Thank you all for the kind words, I’m glad y’all like my hats. I’ll see about putting together a thread tomorrow on how to make a hat.

Will do. I’m about 30 minutes North of Dallas.

Stetson, the very symbol of the West, was a Philadelphia company, right on old Broad Street! Nice work there!
