I get a commission to make some pretty interesting stuff sometimes. I just finished up the latest which was an attempt to make the "most epic steampunk hat."
Here in the part 1 post is a photo gallery of the completed hat. I have 30 photos of the process to make this hat I will post in part 2 when I have time.
This is a patch work hat made of little pieces of leather stitched and riveted together into a hat shape. Each piece started out as a plain unfinished piece of 3 oz vegetable tanned cowhide.
The leather was hand textured, colored and distressed before cutting the parts and assembling as a hat.
I have made quite a few of these hatbands and this is the version with the brass cased compass and the small apothecary bottles. Each one of my hatbands are unique in tooling as well as ornamentation.
Stay tuned for part 2 where I will show you the very involved process to make this, the most epic of steampunk hats.

I was wondering... I often like to carry a rifle, but they don't fit in a traditional holster. I bet you could make a pretty cool over the shoulder sling holster to carry an upsidedown rifle butt end up on your back.... couldn't you? Just a little something for hands free boom-stick toting...

Hi Armadilloman! I have a red leather bracelet that has gotten darker over time and now looks black. What’s the best way to clean something like that?
Cheers

Hey man! You're doing some awesome work! I might have a big gig for you. I have a friend in real life who'd like to know if you're willing to do commissions? I can put you in touch with him, if you're interested in crafting a full suit of leather armor...
