How to make A Leather Cowboy Hat
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 03. 2019
- I've been paying Red Dead Redemption 2 for a few weeks, and no need to say that I love the game. So it was just a matter of time before I try and make something inspired by the game. This week, I decided to finally get to it and make Arthur Morgan's hat.
I used 2.4mm/6oz vegetable tanned leather, dyed it black with alcohol based leather dye and applied two coats of neatsfoot oil . I really like how it turned out, and I hope you'll like the build.
If you have any question, leave them in the comments, I'll do my best to answer them all. Till next week, keep making and thanks for watching!

Beautiful work. Rest In Peace Arthur Morgan!
Thanks a lot :)
I’m sure black lung is resting all right 😳
He hasn't died
@@imadyingjellybean3386 he did, in the game
@@memerbruh3481 when :/ I'm on chapter 2
This is what l wanted. No other leather hat making videos needed.
Thank you! Comments like yours keep the motivation high!
No gimmicks, no bullshit. Just a straight video showing a leather hat made. Good stuff.
Thanks a lot! Much appreciated!
Damn right when I decided that I have my hands in too many different things and leather had to take a back seat to welding, blacksmithing, bladesmithing, woodworking, and making vinyl decals. Largely because of with the previous hobbies my hands and shop never get clean enough to do leather work. You go and post this. Now I want to make one.
Haha, I know the problem, too many things I wanna build, not enough time. I tend to keep the leatherworking projects for winter, when it's too cold outside to be in the forge or in the shop woodworking ;)
Brother... You're statement hit me right in the feelers.
great video... it's my dream to have that kind of leather cowboy hat... greetings from the philippines...
Thanks a lot Michael! I appreciate it. Cheers from France!
Love the hat
Fantastic audio editing yet again!! I'm guessing that shaping the hat took a really long time to do! And it was such a good idea to start the braid on that ring! I think I'm going to borrow that tip! And that square end braid knot thing you did looks neat! Beautiful job!
Thnak you very much!! You can borrow any idea you like😊 Shaping the hat wasn't the hardest part. Making the pattern was a nightmare😊
@@RedSmith Thank you! Oh wow. For some reason I assumed you got the pattern from somewhere. I can't imagine how hard that was! You get many gold stars for that!
Amazing talent! Inspires me to make myself one! Thanks for a great tutorial!
Thank you very much!! My job is done then😉
Beautiful work. That hat looks quite stunning!!
Thank you very much Michael !
That is a proper cowboy hat - great job!
Thank you very much!! :)
Beautiful workmanship
Thank you very much!
This is a great quality video. The hat is great as well, but I'd also like to compliment you on the watchability and pace of your video. It was just perfect.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate your kind words
You're a true artist,sir ! God bless!
Thank you very much!!
Merci Red pour cette réalisation, ce chapeau est terrible et quelle maîtrise des gestes!! Un vrai plaisir pour les yeux.
Merci Patrice !! C'est très gentil !
Whoa Red beautiful and incredible craftsmanship as always. Take Care
Than you very much Thom! Take care! Cheers from France
You continue to impress me! Excellent work!
Thanks a lot Rasmus!! I appreciate it😊
Absolutely beautiful!!
If you taught a class I would definitely sign up
Thank you! I will probably teach classes in the future online :)

Muchas gracias por tu apoyo
Awesome looking hat. I want one.
Thanks mate!
It looks so comfy 😍
Thanks Al!! ❤🖤
Fantastic work G.
Thanks a lot Steve!!
straight up underrated content💯
I looked it up on ur website and it seems way off my budget, I want to make my own but I'm scared that I might ruin it and waste all the materials.. btw I read some of these comments and it seems ur working on some patterns for this hat that I'd absolutely love to buy, when can I expect them on ur website cuz its been a few months since u last said they're gonna be coming soon... hope I wasn't bothering u
Thanks a lot. Making it right takes a lot of time. Especillay when it's for everyone to be able to make it right on the first time without wasting any material. Unfortunately I have a lot of work these days, but it will come.
@@RedSmith I might take the plans to a craftsman so that it's perfect... thanks for the reply and hope to see the plans soon :)
GOOD WORK !!!
Thank you!!
very nicely made, might have a go at makin one, thanks
Thanks a lot! Please do!
The most perfect work i ever saw
Fantastic
Thank you very much!!
@@RedSmith u welcom
Awesome hat! Good work!😉
Thank you!!
Thanks for including the leather weight, most project videos do not. Nice hat!
Pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed revisiting the process. Love that hat!
Thank you Sir!!
Fabuloso trabalho parabéns ♡♡♡♡
Muito obrigado!
That was incredible 🙌
Thanks a lot!!
Amazing, mate!!!
Thanks a lot Partner!

Thank you!!
Killing it!
Thanks Brian!
Great job.
Thanks!
That’s the one I’m going to make.
Great!
Time to relax,and enjoy the world of Red Smith,thank you big G ;) hug my friend
Enjoy ;)
Thanks a lot my friend!
Wow really nice!
just a practical question:
is it waterproof in the junction ?
the color changing is so amazing from leather to a nice brown then a deep blue and to finish a massiv black!
awesome!
Thanks a lot. Yes it is. The stitching is very tight and the oil helps :)
@@RedSmith merci pour les details technique!

travail fantastique mon ami
Merci mon ami !!
Excellent work, I also do leatherwork myself and have been thinking about making Arthur's hat! Did you use some template for it?
Thank you very much! I made my own template, for my head size. But I'm sure you can find templates somewhere.
The template / pattern is now available on my website: www.theredsmith.com/online-shop
Great work man, i am trying to do one for myself and you are the only person that i found that does it with pure leather inside the hat and outside. What type of leather is this?
Thanks Marcos. I used 2.3mm thick vegetable tanned leather. Easy to find and perfect for this kind of project. Thanks for watching
Great video hope to make one one day
Thank you! I hope you will!!
This video is wonderful and I would enjoy have the hat pattern for make a white cotton version.
If it's possibile, please.
Thank you, I truly appreciate your kind words. I'm currently working on a better version of the pattern, to make the hat easier to make. I'll let you know when it's ready. Thanks for watching!
Good work dude! You videos always good for me :)
Thank you very much! I appreciate it!
Great video! I made one of these a few years ago, but it is about a quarter of an inch too tight. Any suggestions for re-sizing?
Thank you! You can make a jig with a round piece of wood and two screws. Wet the hat and put the jig in it, then unscrew the jig to enlarge the hat. I've seen a video on youtube about that a while ago :) Hope it helps
or just use the old hat on knee and pull to stretch trick,works a treat...
Arthur: what about the MUNEH John
:)
Nice job, I wanna make something similar for myself. Ive made a template out of thin cardboard to fit my head (I take a 23.5 inch cicumference hat to fit the way I want it). I have a question about the process. Does it matter if I dye the leather before or after assembly? I was thinking of using beeswax on the rough side for sweat protection and to seal up the rough leather, do you think its a good idea? Im gonna use a Pro Dye in a Show Brown for mine.
Thanks a lot! You can dye the leather before assembly, but don't forget the leather will shrink a little bit. I usually dye before assembly as well. You can use wax or soap and burnish the edges, but the best is to use tragacanth gum. I hope it helps :)
I just went for it and it turned out pretty good. Its a little different than your design, narrower brim and added wire for a more rigid edge. I have yet to dye it or treat it but Im pleased with it for my first project with leather.
@@craigells4151 well done!!😊
For those who may be wondering, this is likely 2mm vegetable tanned leather. If you try to use other types of leather, wetting it wont make it hold it's shape the same way it does for vegetable tanned leather.
2.5mm, but yes, you are correct. Chrome tanned leather wouldn't work for that. Thanks for watching
I use 4-6 ounce tooling leather for mine. Hard. But makes it really sturdy. Shaping is a process though
How do you know how big to make the pieces of leather for your hat? I have the circumference of the head that I need it to be for but I'm not sure how wide to make the brim, how tall to make the top, etc. Its being made for a 12' skeleton, the circumference is 44.5".
Trial and error with cardboard same thickness of leather.
Brilliant Red!!! That turned out crazy cool! What was the finish you applied to the hat at the end, was that something like Resolene or just more Neat's foot oil or something else entirely?
Thank you!! It's just leather neatsfoot oil. It gives it a little shine, make it softer to the touch and unifies the color of the dye.
@@RedSmith Nice job ! What kind of dye did you use to paint ? Is the template available? TY
@@sandrohumberto Thanks! I used leather dye. The template will be available soon on my website.
Absolutely beautiful! You make it look so easy to build. One question: How did you determine what size to make the hat?
Thank you Donna. It's not that hard. Making the pattern is :)
The inner diameter of the rim is more or less the size of the hat. It depends on how you sew the rim to it.
@@RedSmith no they aren’t.
@@RedSmith says not available :(
I'm remaking them so the hat is easier to make. Will be soon available again.
I'm remaking them so the hat is easier to make. Will be soon available again.
That is a fine hat mister, I wish I can have that.
Thanks a lot! You can if you have the budget for it, or you can make you own :)
I was genuinely surprised that you didn't do anything to the brim. But, it's a gorgeous hat.
It's just an aesthetic choice. You can add a piece of leather all around but I thought it looked more like the one in the game without it :) Thanks for watching!
Did you use 8-10 ounce leather and how do i go about measuring my head so that it fits comfortable?
I used 5-6oz veg tan leather. I found it to give the best results for a hat. If you measure it around your head, just above the eyebrows, it should fit perfectly.
That is just phenomenal! Ever thought of making it worn like Arthur's?
Thanks a lot! I tought it would worn out with time
@@RedSmith Oh, alright! Cool! Planning to make one myself and have it worn thats why♡
Keep on doing what you love!~♡
I found that getting it to that black fade to brown look is done by dying it dark brown. Then using 2 coats of black. Use fiebrings leather sheen to finish it as it removes a bit of dye. And there you have it
@@ethansmith8813 Oh lord I forgot to share it when I had it done, its not the best but I did end up being this for Halloween long ago!

Excelente! me gustó tu video, es posible que publiques el patrón para hacer el sombrero? Gracias desde ya!
¡Gracias! ¡El patrón estará disponible en mi sitio web pronto! ¡Gracias por ver!
Awesome video. May I ask where you got the pattern for the shapes/parts you needed to cut out?
Thanks a lot. I spent hours making my own :)
@@RedSmith I'm trying to learn Pattern making at the moment, the maths really escapes me XD
@@cakecakeham5823 Ellipses are cery hard to make. Trial and error is a good way to finally make it😊
My grandfather gave me a black stetson that looks just like arthurs. I wear it all the time but i want to get the hat wrap that arthur has but i cant figure out what it is. It looks like a rope sometimes but the part that sticks off the back of the hat in the game has some stiffness to it. Its almost like a vine but then it looks like the thicker part of the wrap was twisted around a smaller vine. Its hard to tell but i may go out in the woods and see if i can find something close to it.
It's brown leather strips braided together. A 4 strand round braiding to be precise. Thanks for watching.
I plan on making this hat out of leather I made myself I want it to be a dark brown color with a bit of a shine on it just like that one what do you recommend? Love the video btw👍
Sounds great! I recommend a brown leather dye (water based) and the Eco-Flo super Shene for finish :) Good luck with your build and thanks for watching!
I have some tanned leather that is already the correct color for the hat. However, the leather is very soft and flimsy. Is there any way that I can stiffen it so that the color and texture will not be ruined? I do not have a whole lot of experience with leather btw
You could glue a second layer underneath to make it stronger or just apply leather hardener. I used it a couple of times and it works very well.
gooooooooooooooooooooooood job
Thanks a lot!!!
Awesome build! Is there any way to get the templates, or measurements of the pieces you used to build the hat?
Thank you Joe. The template will be available to purchase on my website as soon as the pdf file is ready. I'm working on it :)
@@RedSmith awesome! Thanks, I look forward to it!
The template / pattern is now available on my website: www.theredsmith.com/online-shop
Hey i love it !!
I love it 👌
Can you please tell me the exact size of the hat pattern.
I mean the size of all shapes (small, large and rectangular circles)
The pattern will be available on my website as soon as I have time to finish it.
I'm want to see a million subscribers on this channel
Thank you!! May the CZcams gods hear you ;)
This video inspired me to make 2 of my own. This is kinda fun
That's great !! It is indeed :)
Im on number 4 now. Enjoying it greatly do you have any advice on finding making hat templates to improve my work?
Nice
Thanks
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!!
I'm thinking of making this for a cosplay. How much leather did you use for this project and do you have any pointers for someone starting out?
Make a pattern out of cardboard first. It will help you with the whole process.
Perfect!!! (From Russia)🤠👍
Thank you!! (From France)😊👍
Any chance on having a tutorial on making the pattern it looks asymmetrical and like the most challenging thing in the whole build amazing hat btw
The pattern will be available on my website as soon as I finish it.
For the tutorial, I will consider it. Thanks for watching.
The template / pattern is now available on my website: www.theredsmith.com/online-shop
I thought that was pretty neat 🤠💖✨✨✨✨
Thank you!
Very nice! Is there a pattern? I tried clicking a link in one of the comments below but the URL is not active. Thanks @Red Smith
Thanks. There is no pattern for now but it will come soon. For now, you can find the hat here: www.theredsmith.com/store Thanks for watching.
What oz leather is this made of?
Edit: never mind i just wasn’t paying attention to the description.
It happens.😊 Thanks for watching.
I want to know where you got your tools that you used on the video, the spreadsheets only shows some saws and the tint. and how about measurements?
I bought all my leather working tools in Tokyo and made my own pattern. Thanks for watching.
The template / pattern is now available on my website: www.theredsmith.com/online-shop
I really wish I had one. Did you know that the ropes on Australian outbacks, where made to keep flies and bugs away?
I had no idea. Thanks for the info :)
Hey great vid, is there a a pattern anywhere?
Soon on my website. Thanks for watching!
👌🏼❤️Excelente video me encantó, ojalá tuviera el sombrero de Arthur Morgan o algo paresido, ese sombrero se ve muy desgastado y casero pero se ve muy rudo con el, o por lo menos desearía tener sombrero 😂🤪
Puedes probar y hacer la tuya :) ¡Gracias por mirar!
Incredible video!! Would you ever consider doing a video of John’s hat from Red Dead 1?
Thank you very much. Yes, it's on my list :)
Hey, man.
This is an amazing job!!! Unfortunately I can not find a link to the templates and please tell me what chemical processing tools you used in this hat)))
Please help me.
Hey man, I just sent your an email. Thanks for watching!
Is the pattern still up? Id love to purchase a few myself
@@ethansmith8813 I'm redesigning my entire website and making a better / easier pattern. Will be up soon :)
That's awesome. The website has always been really good
What stencil did you use I would like to try this
Magnifique !! serait il possible de connaitre les noms de touts les outils utiliser dans la fabrication de ce chapeau s'il vous plait ? :)
Bonjour, et merci ! J'ai tracé le patron sur le cuir avec une alène, coupé avec un cutter, perforé avec une griffe de couture pour cuir à 4 dents, cassé les angles avec un abat-carre, et cousu avec un fil de coton passé à la cire :) J'espère que cela vous aide.
I've actually been trying to find this hat and all I find is these cheap looking versions of it. Is possible to order that same hat from you? I actually aim to wear it quite often.
P.S I am in the U.S
Hey Casey yes I make and sell them. And I ship to the US so no problem. But leather is expensive. You can contact me so we can discuss details theredsmith@hotmail.com
:D now *that's* a hat!
Thanks a lot Allen :)
hey there. i have tanned some deer skin & want to try to make a similar hat. where can I find the tools you used? would seek them out myself but i have no idea what each tool is called. TIA
Hello. I have few tutorials on leatherworking on Instructables.com where I list all the tools I use. But if you buy a leatherworking beginner tool kit you should get everything you need :) Thanks for watching!
Are you changing the pattern any for the future release?
Yes
@@RedSmith Sounds interesting, thanks!
прекрасно, друг
Спасибо!
I have two questions: What thickness of leather are you using? and is that neatsfoot oil you applied before adding the braded band?
Yes, it's neatsfoot oil. The thickness is mentioned in the video description. Thanks for watching.
@@RedSmith oh, duh, both my questions were already answered. You can't put stuff right in front of me, I'll never find it that way! Nice work on your hat!
Haha, no problem, it happens ;) Thank you very much!
The template / pattern is now available on my website: www.theredsmith.com/online-shop
This is GREAT work! Do you happen to sell patterns? I have the materials I need to make it (for personal use - I have no intention to sell), but I don't have a good pattern and this one is wonderful!
Thank you very much! I'm redoing my website right now to add all my patterns. It should be ready in a few days :) Thanks for watching!!
@@RedSmith I'll be sure to check it out! Quick additional question... What length of lace did you use to braid the cord that goes around the hat?
The template / pattern is now available on my website: www.theredsmith.com/online-shop
If I’m interested in learning leather work where do you recommend I start?
I recommend making smalls items like a bracer or a card holder and see if you like it. You can find beginner kitd for cheap.
The Redsmith I’ll try that thank you : )
@@graceskate Please do😊
If you live near a tandy leather store they often hold beginner project classes and there usually pretty inexpensive, and have all the tools you'll need. You can also go to a saddle or leather shop and ask to observe for a bit. There usually willing to help expand the craft and impart alot of knowledge.
Great video. Question: How much did the leather cost you? I want to give this build a try.
Thank you. It depends on the shops. In my country it's very expensive.
@@RedSmith Ok .thanks for telling me. Also thanks for taking time to reply :)
The template / pattern is now available on my website: www.theredsmith.com/online-shop
@@RedSmith hey I clicked the link to see the pattern because I also wanted to make my own hat but it says this page doesn’t exist. Would you mind possibly emailing me the template/pattern?
Seria genial que nos enseñes a patronar desde cero
Gracias
Lo haré. Gracias por ver
C'est du très beau boulot, mais on est d'accord, c'est le même chapeau que dans la dernière vidéo ?
Merci ! Oui, c'est le même :) J'ai séparé la vidéo en deux parties. Certaines personnes ne veulent pas voir d'intro ou deux fabrications dans la même vidéo.
Do you happen to remember the weight and temper of the leather? It looks like what I should have used for my own hat project I've just started.
It's all written in the video description. Thanks for watching!

I really like the look of this! can I ask what dimensions are to make such a hat?
Thank you. What kind of dimensions do you want to know ?
@@RedSmith Thanks for the reply! Like the size of the brim mainly just the pieces you cut out.
I don"t remember the dimensions of those pieces, but I'll be selling the pattern as soon as the pdf file is ready
