Lunger Dan Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 An un-lined, never warn, cow hide Top Hat, brim is shape-able (wire inside) Size is 22.4" (56cm) according to pattern-but I think it is a bit larger...I usually use a 7 1/8 or 7 1/4 hat...this seemed to be maybe 7 1/2 or so, maybe a bit larger-and leather stretches. Cowhide has been antiqued with wax and friction rubbing-so it has a bit of waterproofing quality. "stains" you see inside are water stains caused by shaping the leather (wouldn't be seen in a lined hat) You could put any different band you wanted on or conchos..the one on it is just some twisted leather lacing. Leather is veg-tan, not chrome tan or pull up, so it will patina about 2-3 shades darker with exposure to sun out on the range over time. Hand sewn with waxed braid thread using saddle stitch...wont unravel. Has a very steam-punk-crazy voodoo/medicine/injun man vibe to it. Could go alot of ways depending on band and decoration Made it, loved it, put it on and it fell down over my ears...so I made another that fit me better. 65$ shipped usps paypal preferred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
