Athos’ hat! The feathers are totally wrong (they’re just there to give an idea), and the colours are a bit wonky because it’s getting dark but I wanted to show you guys how it turned out! Still need to add more stiffener to the brim so it’ll stay flipped up a bit but I’m being very careful with that so it doesn’t leave marks.
This is really fun to do, which is good since I also bought materials for Aramis’ hat to even out postage costs at the time. I may be putting that one up for sale, depending on what the results are.
Where’d you get your hat blank?

It’s all in Dutch though; you’re probably better off looking for a seller closer to home!That aside, I’ll probably do a compilation post at some point with links to resources and tutorials etc that I came across while researching this.
oh please do that! I just had a quick google for uk stuff and then realised I had no idea what I was looking for
(will make me feel a bit guilty seen as how I’ve got a post on starting leatherwork stuff hat’s been sitting in my drafts for ages now…I should really finish that)
