Go to the "How To" section of Trad Gang.  Curt Cabrera has a great thread with step by step instructions for a  full suit but you could just take his hat instructions and go from there.

I used it and love how the final product turned out except I used a  coat underneath and it gets warm and the coat is getting smaller on me every year.

Suit,  The blue fletch cover was only for the pictures. I have a  better one now.
