Our pattern for a Frontier Fur Hat is patterned after those drawn by Bodmer, during his visit to the Fur Trading Posts, during the early 1800's. Hats of this kind were worn by Indians and Mountain Men both for protection from the elements and as symbols of status, coups and/or clans.
The pattern comes with complete instructions for making the Fur Hat with just the body of the pelt, or, as shown with a option for using the face of the animal. This pattern includes the Working with Leather and Fur guide to simplify assembly.
Made in the USA, published by Eagle View. All terms are fully defined in the handy glossary. Bold illustrated instructions make Eagle View patterns easy to use, even for the novice.
Materials:
Notions: Thread or Sinew, leather needle, awl, craft knife or razor, scissors and brush.
