I've seen tarred hats done with blackboard paint and varnish, but I don't think that's so effective. It is waterproof and looks ok, but it doesn't have the smell.
I've also done tarred clothing the same way. For clothing you need to thin the bitumen out, I use turpentine, then paint it on in the same way. The cloth is naturally somewhat stiffer, but not unwearable and is completely waterproof.
For those so inclined one of those spray bottles you use for the ironing filled with linseed oil does a fair job of making oilskin clothes - again they're stiffer, but they're also waterproof.

Foxe's idea of bitumen paint is a really good one. I hadn't thought of doing that, but certainly will next time. Thanks Foxe!

I made an oilcloth ground cloth that I painted with linseed oil....(once again... using a foam chunk for a brush)(oh yah..... let it dry out of sunlight... not sure why.... but that is what I was told....). unfortunately.... after I let it dry, it still stayed "tacky" (picked up a lot of redish dirt..... so it "looked" right....kinda rusty....) but my friend mixed his linseed oil with about 50/50 turpintine.... painted it on the cloth...... worked better...... wasn't tacky.... and it didn't change the color of the cloth........ and it was waterproof.....

Also, placing oil based paints/materials in sun or wind to dry does nothing to speed the process. It's a chemical reaction that just takes time. Water based paints however will dry quickly outside.

I use black fabric paint, available at most craft stores. When the stuff goes on clearance sale, I purchase a few bottles and save 'em for a project. The secret is to apply the paint sparingly and rub it into the fabric -- this way, you get a dull "tarred" look, and not a shiny plastic look. Advantages: it is a non-offensive chemical (does not combust, will not kill you, etc.), and it is totally waterproof. And can be had cheap, if you wait foir the clearance sales.
Reject my input if you wish (and I welcome the purists to do so)... but it works, and it works well. Aside from the (lack of) odor, you really cannot tell it from the "real thing" without careful scrutiny

Did several 'tarred' hats in 2004/5 using the Bitumen paint method (It's the sort of thing they use for sealing water tanks), used a thinned version to start leaving it to cure for a couple of days 'tween each coat then shaved off any bobbley bits of felt, rolled the sides up and put several more layers of unthinned on, left that a week then gave it a coat of shellac varnish (French Polish).Before the hat was tarred I sewed a thin piece of linen inside as a hatband, stitches as near the bottom as poss and once I'd finished tarring I used this to hang the lining on. Just a precaution as in a previous job I had to paint the inside of a tank with said paint and where the stuff got on my skin, especially my face, it tanned/or cured it like having the skin on your face shrunk one size or the aftermath of a REALLY bad suntan, took two weeks to peel so I dint want anyone getting chemical burns off a hat that I made..........................................................mebbe a reason to wear a scarf under a hat, stop the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH IT BURNS feeling?
