I'm looking to make an Indy / outback style hat out of oilcloth. I can't find a good pattern though.
I've checked reddit and etsy and the closest I've gotten are a few leather ones.
Seam allowance etc seems like it would be different for canvas.
Any ideas?
I've been wearing a pair of buffalo hide Abaline boots for 3 years nearly every day with one resole. I really like these boots.
But, I'm looking for something with a little lower and more stable heal after back surgery.
I basically want Doc Martens and a made in England pair of 1460s is in...
I have a woolrich cap I really like, but it's gotten a tad tight.
Is there a way to stretch it without any special equipment?
Should I wet it first?
Also, if anyone has suggestions on good places to get newsboys of good quality without breaking the bank, I'd love the heads up.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I have seen the Kanol's but I have never seen them in person.
I'm afraid I may not be able to wear them since they are not lined, and I have a bald head.
It might be a little itchy :P
My dad would not have that problem though.
What kind of quality are they? They look a little different...
Thanks for the reply. It's a little out of my price range at the moment, but I'll keep it in mind for later.
And, maybe some caps of my own. :D
And thanks about the avatar, I thought it appropriate since he wears a hat.
I sort of have two questions....
One, is what type of cap is this?
I have heard it called a newsboy(but I thought those to be more "fluffy" on top), a golf cap, an ivy league, an Irish cap and a cabbie (for some reason this last one makes the most sense to me, I don't know why).
It seems...
This scene doesn't show it, but here is section on the inside of the dent that comes back up. I didn't know if there was a different name for that maybe. Almost looks like a diamond?
So I think it must be some sort of center crease, but is there any more specific name for this one?
Here is a link to a pic from the movie. It's a bit of a spoiler alert, but this is the only pic I could find online that had him in the hat.
It's Bogie in "The Barefoot Contessa" with Ava...
Here are some more. Once I get one I really like I'll post that too.
Still trying to figure out how I want the crown to look. Suggestions?
Oh, and is there a Federation Nation around here?
What are they usually made out of? Are hat brushes a soft bristle or hard?
I have a horse hair shoe brush which is really soft, but it seems like something stiffer would be better for a hat.
Just got some tracking info and it's in CA. The other end of the continent, but a lot closer than it was :D
Also I'm looking for a hat brush, any brush advice?
I went to the little western shop downtown that does boots and hats. They were out of hat brushes, but they did have a little horse...
Well I narrowed it down to the campdraft and the federation, and the wife voted for the fed, in carbon grey.
So, it should be here in a couple weeks. Then I'm sure at some point I'll have to save up for a CD also. :D
