Tony, this is the most comprehensive tutorial ever... So many tips and tricks, close-ups, and jokes! Please keep doing your videos like this. I know it is a lot more work, but definitely appreciated. As a beginner i think i might be able to attempt this because your directions are so thorough.

@@elizabethwatson71 i made the top hat 4 times now. I started with heavy cheap denim, cheap thick vinyl, thrift super suede, and just finished an actual leather one. I'm really proud of it and will post soon in the FB group. I am originally a bag maker but only work fabric/machine... But i think some of those skills definitely helped.

Comprehensive and wonderful! I have many of your patterns and appreciate all the videos that accompany them!!

This hat is spectacular! Bravo, Tony!

Fabulous!! Love the style of this vid, thank you for the time and extra work, love getting a notification that you've created yet another masterpiece!! Karen

Very nice style of video this one! I enjoyed the way you explained the nest steps before moving on

Wonderful Tony! I've been trying for years to make one.. greatest Christmas gift ever!....

Perfect. I've been wanting a leather bowler for a while. I will be getting your pattern. I've got a half hide of 5-6oz just sitting on my shelf.

You are always showing some great work Tony! Enjoyed your video.

brother tony, im a 49 yr old who for the last 10 yrs have only made watch straps due to my obsession for collecting panerai watches. almost a decade later your youtube channel is finally allowing me to not only use all the tools I had bought all those years ago but im improving so much on my leather skills making your amazing patterns, keep up the great work my friend

Another great hat video!! Thanks Tony!

Hello, you have a great sence of humor. Thanks for that.

Hey Tony. Glad I came across your utube channel. Love your videos. Just finishing up my bowler. Coming out awesome. Thanks for the detailed instructions. Couldn't have done it without your tutorial.

I just found your channel. I am totally obsessed. Thank You!!

Good evening, Tony. Good master make good joob. Hat is amazing.

"Gravity defying brim" included in design!! Brilliant!!!

Gorgeous hat, Tony! Living here in the heart of TX I thought I might share how cowboys form the brim shape without the wire. Steam. Steam and hand work to coax it into shape and it stays. ;)

Steam will work but to really get the exact shape you will need a block as well so that as it dries it takes the shape. Just using your hands will take multiple times to get a really good result.

Excellent video, thanks

Keep up the great work!!!!!

Awesome hat!

Cool beans. Thank you Tony!

On my list to purchase pattern. TY Tony

Great hat. Great video. Great tutorial. My first video of yours. Now a subscriber.

Great Job Sir 👍👍👍

nice work man greetings from Germany

Fantastic! 👍👍

Tony, you crack me up. I actually laughed out loud. I keep buying patterns just to watch the videos. Im almost finished with a couple of top hats... just received my leather for mocassins, and next I'm going to have to do this bowler. What a great looking hat. Come up with some jacket patterns. Hell, do the whole outerwear thing. Having a ball.

Love the video and the hat! I want to try and make one.

Love it!

Yes Tony You are doing a super job teaching how to do this Craft/ Hobbies.. So sorry I did screwed up your grading on your service .

Sir, I'm an extreme beginner of the leathercraft hobby, and I absolutely love the Steampunk variety hat since I was a kid. Making the Derby may be above my level of ability today, but someday I will make it. I have a small business named Surge Custom Fabrication Studio I design and build industrial outdoor furniture. I will be wear many hats hahaha. I'm going to enjoy making many of your hats to wear in my various shops. I think I have to save the Derby for my Blacksmiths shop! Wouldn't you agree? By the way your channel is fantastic! Thank you for what you are doing...

loved this hat, spent several weeks in between work to make it, only to find out i made the wrong size for my head. made a good gift tho

Tony, thank you for the time and detail you provide. I have been looking for a Bowler had and I believe this is the one . How do you adjust for a larger noggin? Or smaller head size

What kind of tape do you use Tony? Amazing video and great tutorial.

Isso ficou ótimo!!!

Also, still waiting onthat newsboy hat. Hoping you decide to create a pattern for one anyway lol 😂

I love it! Any advice on installing a sweat band and liner??

Great design im nearly finished mine just need to attach the brim to the crown. its the first leather thing i ever made and i dont think its hard just time consuming . If this is anyone's first leather project like it was mine here are some tips. 1. put something round the hole punch it can hurt to hold after a while or wear gloves 2. buy the long thin needles he uses cheap short ones are not easy to work with and impossible to double push i learnt the hard way. the biggest hat size has a 40" edge with the 2inches included turns out this is exactly the same length as cheap wire hangers dry cleaners use. this is after you cut off the twisted section. regular wire hangers are too thick but cheap ones are perfect which allowed me to finish the hat while working nights. I did mine on a budget a poundland chopping board and mallet and cheap punches but it got me to the end no problem next are corset hat gloves mask wallet and biker vest. roll on TG i cant wait

Твои изделия особенны!

Fabulous video and very cool Bowler...Approximately how many square inches / cm of leather is needed for this Bowler??

hello, thank you for this video and the pattern, more clear can not be! but in fact i need a little help... i with vegetable cow leather scraps, most of the pieces are done as explain, but for the brim, i must cut in 4 pieces.please, could you tell me if you think it's better to line them or does this kind of sewing point made it enought regular to support the move of the brim?

awesome, loved the tutorial. But I have a question, how do you size it? if the pattern is to small or large, how do you scale to the perfect size?

Hi! I looked for the other video which you mention in this video, regarding how to color , darken, the leather after cutting it out. I cant find that video. Could you please send a link as a reply, or make a video that covers it and let me know ? I just purchased paper patterns for this hat on your etsy site. I cant wait for them to get here so i can make mine. Thank you in advance! (Joebear)

Just made this as my first ever leatherworking project since I made a wallet in cub scouts 40 years ago. Lined the inside with some beautiful Indonesian batik fabric, black leather, bottle strap. Its something alright. My fingers are bleeding in weird places.

super toni👍

Does anyone know what head circumference of all 8 patterns are? I’ve seen a few comments with 62.5 being the largest. But what about the other 7?

Fruuuumoooossss!!!!!!

Are there adjustments for size? I have a big head.

How much meter leather do you need to create this hat?

1500! Hahahahahah. That was hilarious.

Best Musik in your Videos !🥰 we you Need More Show me

Just subscribed to your channel. Usually don't until i have watched at least 4-5 videos. But you got me when you said when you finish punching 20-30 holes, what 1500 i can't tell them that, so when you are finished punching the 40 holes. I had to subscribe and comment... stopped video to do that. Now onto the rest of the video.

Sit around the shanty, and put a good buzz on

da fak you are the real man. i will begin asap with this

Is latigo too soft for this project?

what would you recommend for sizing up or down for those with large heads or thise with tiny ones?

It depends on the exact head circumference

@DieselpunkRo so import the pattern into photoshop and increase/decrease the size until the inner circle of the brim is the right size for the head

Hello Sir, first, very nice work and thanks a lot for the aging technique! (although the leather I used might not be the same because I had to rub it extremely hard and even though it aged it didn't become "black"). So I bought your pattern and made the hat, but still have some question : - how thin is the strap around the brim? You said thinner but I didn't know how much so I went for 1.6mm - how do you end your stitches : for the last cross? It seems there's only one string so you don't end with the 2 needles for the last cross? - The hat is not very comfortable for the forehead, and I think for me it's because I used a 1mm thick wax thread of linen and not polyester like you did, so my thread isn't as flat as yours and it hurts the forehead. Do you flatten your seams with a hammer or not? - do you usually add a strap of leather or fabric inside your hats for comfort or not? Thank you very much again for the video and the pattern and I hope you'll find the time to answer my interrogations, I always ask myself a lot of questions. Best of luck for you futur projects!

Hi everybody. I attempted this hat. I think it was to much for my skill level. I could not get the brim right. I will try again after more practice with easier patterns. I wont give up though.. Part of my problem is my eye sight. I cut to close to the stitching hole when I cut it out. I couldn't see the line. That's something I have to deal with.
