Pugaree or Pleated Hatband Pattern

[Rick Blaine]

>Here is one "how to" from a different hat thread.
Apply the same technique to a fedora as to a helmet.<

Very helpful, thank you.

Vaya con Dios mi amigo lol

Buh-Bye

But how much and how wide?

I found this thread very helpful, and thank you to all who contributed as I want to give my Sunbody a safari style. But, as the title asks, how much material would I need and what would be the recommended width of the material? Also, due to the overlapping, would a very thin material be best?

Dude, this joint is all about sharing information. If you're not willing to share, good riddance.............

Tom, I know you respect the tailor's art. So don't you know the tradition that knowledge must be earned, not given?

Puggaree

I didn't save links and can't now advise on exact sites, but I know that I found some patterns online when looking at "Australian Military Slouches" In the end I bought a vintage WWII one for my slouch.

When I bought my first Panama, the haberdasher had a shoebox full of premade puggaree with hooks, in all different colors and patterns. They were of cotton on the bias with ironed seams and were INEXPENSIVE! They were essentially the same thing as you would get on a current Akubra Military Slouch as factory issued.

Just last week I saw a listing on a large online auction site for someone selling them inexpensively in a range of colors. For the use you are describing, I would pay the money - it's alot of exacting work for very little change in appearance. But that's just my opinion.

Someday I hope to make on in light muslin such as older ones I've seen.

No Pugaree, but...

Several ribbon tretment How-To's

Mainly geared toward women's hats, but there are a few that would work on a man's hat

Hope somebody can use this.

I saw, a few months ago, someone posting a source for pugs. I've done a search, but can't find any place to buy the right material for a pug. Seeing Bogart's "Sahara" tonight, one of the men was wearing a safari-looking hat with a pug. Now I'd like to put a pug on my Banjo Patterson, if someone can steer me to a good source for getting one.

You could always make your own. It's easier than you think. I did with the help of that illustration above. I folded a pug on my pith helmet and liked it so much I did it to my Akubra Slouch too (I'll post a pic of that later.)

 

[Blackthorn]

Thanks to both of you, this was very helpful!

Tom, am I seeing this right, that I have to order three, @ $9 each, to get my order processed?

Yup. I ordered like 5 of them the last time. The way these work with the hooks, they're easy to change.

Thanks Tom, I'm going to do that, too.

I'd love to see that, CP.

Up close







The yellow is for my old cavalry days.

Neither ribbon is anchored down on this one. Its just held on by tension. The pith has a couple of stitches in the back. I didn't leave myself enough ribbon. I found the ribbon at hobby lobby. Give it a whirl. Its easier than you think.

Excellent, CP! You have inspired me!

Thank you sir. That means a lot from a man of your travels. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

 

[Blackthorn]

Well, my pugs still haven't arrived in the mail yet, but I noticed that one of my Panamas had a nice black pug yesterday, so I took it off and put it onto my Banjo Patterson. I should have done this a long time ago!
