Leather bush hat

[Dreadhead]

My take on a leather bush hat. Of course I couldn't resist some pictish spirals, but only on the rim and top so they are not obvious when looking at the hat straight on . Made from cowskin and goatskin, and lined with pigskin, with bronze wire stitched into the rim.

That's really beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I'm inordinately jealous.

Very nice - I like the Mystery Braid band as well

A buy for life!

Liking that a lot, Hamish, looks to be a damn sight better made than some of the Aussie offerings. That’s a superb piece on antler on the band!

Nicely done sir!

Wheres the model shot?

 

[starsailor]

Nice, I like that

 

[mousey]

That's really smart, I like that a lot.

 

[Dreadhead]

Thanks folks

haha no model shot i'm afraid! I just made this hat to play around with ideas, but sadly made it far too big for myself! If i ever make another i'll be scaling down my pattern a fair bit

That looks a beautifully made titfer, Hamish.

Superb Hamish, just superb.

That's lovely work. I really like the style and the understated spirals.

You're producing some fantastic work. It's great watching people skills develop over time on here.

I have an excessively large head. Perhaps I could induce you to let me model it for you? Preferably forever...

I've worn leather aussie hats for most of my life - that does look well made, very well made.

A word about fitting - the leather stretches and gives quite a bit when wet, which can be from sweat or rain. So a proper fit is quite a tight fit.

That's a nicely made hat
