Captain Robert Rackam Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) This is my newest creation. I've really started to go nuts making hats. This one is wool felt (Hat body from Hats by Leko) cotton trim, all hand sewn and hand blocked and shaped by me. I patterned it after paintings I've seen of George Washington from the American Revolution. Tell me wat you think mates.

Jas. Hook Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Grand hat Cap'n. Look like a lot o' labor went into its makin'. I haves to shifts more towards the darker colors... too many coasties and excise men along me coast. Jas. Hook "Born on an island, live on an island... the sea has always been in my blood." Jas.

Gunpowder Gertie Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 That there is one smashin' hat, sirrah! And d'ye make these fine hats fer others, perchance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Robert Rackam Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Thanks much for all th' compliments. Th' buttons are from an A.C. Moore "jewelry line called sea life. They are actually locket pendants, drilled through the back, I left them so they still open. Gertie, I would be honored to make such hats for others, let me know what you are looking for and I'll see what I can do.
