Don't laugh please!!
This is my 1st attempt to make what I think of as an authentic archers' hunting hat. I made this one out of suede leather.
Ok you can laugh.. my wife did..lol Then she said it looked like something she'd expect to see in an old Errol Flynn movie.. made my day!!

Joekeith gave me the idea. I hope he'll post a picture of his.
God bless,Mudd
Fine looking HAT !!!
D
thats cool mudd! well done :clapper:
Mudd, she was right on the money with that one!!!
And I did laugh, out loud. I love it!!!
Going to get a set of tights next Mudd? :biglaugh:
Just teasing.
Where's your merry men? :biglaugh:
Just teasing too. Kinda looks good.
Have you tried shooting with it yet? I always have trouble with the string hitting hat bills when drawing. I don't think the bill on your hat would work for me because of that. I have to say though the lines of that hat have speed written all over it! Very aerodynamic!!
My merry men are typing responses to this post..lol
I went over to the HS and spoke with the home ec teacher. She and her husband to that medieval thing. Anyway, she has agreed to make me a wool tunic and vest to go with my fustian shirt.
There will not be any tights!! I do have a couple of pair of buckskin trousers/pants that should work.
I'll be sure to post pictures when I get the whole outfit together.
Thanks for the kind words.
God bless,Mudd
Takes a man of much confidence to post such a pic. :thumbsup:
I could threaten to wear my kilt with it, that would be period too!..lol
God bless,Mudd
SHould have been green
"Were men - were men in tight TIGHT TIGHTS...roamin around the forest looking for fights"
Looks good buddy
Jer
I tried not to laugh......I really tried......I promise.
I like it and if you send me one, I'm man enough to wear it as well. =0)
Nice hat!!! Very aaahhh regal..yeah..regal.
Truly a nice hat. I'm thinking one might be in order for myself.
Lookin' good Mudd. Right now I'm havin' computer problems. :saywhat: and yes, that dang point in the front does get in the way. :archer:
Watch the "Kilt" thing... :wavey:
Seems like I remember seeing Ron La Claire in a hat like that from long ago...... :saywhat:
Think the hat looks good!
But remember, if yer gonna do tights, they were most likely not green. In that era and part of Britain they had thing for sharp red and blue, though blue was somewhat expensive... :)
I think its cool looking.
where is the green skin-tight pants of Errol ???
by the way, good job on the hat !
Mudd in tights? don't look, its will destroy your eyes
If the point in front gets in the way, try turning it around backwards or sideways like Barry Wensel!
Yep...that's actually pretty cool! Good job Mudd!

They are very simple to make and requires very little sewing skill. I am making more and am planning to try using "No Sew" glue. I am betting it will work. Just pm me if you want a link to the pattern.
God bless,Mudd
Fair Maiden Marian will find ye handsome indeed!
The deer will never see you. If they do they will think your a long dead ghost and just stand there and let you shoot them.
Period clothing can be fun, no reason not to hunt in it.Send us some pics of the whole outfit when you get it.
Its a good thing you are married Mudd, you would slay 'em with that one.
i like it! Of course i am a little wierd! :)
will they let you in walmart with it on?
My pheasant feather is bigger then yours ...
:biglaugh:

Mudd - first off...fine looking hat!
Second - as much as I like the look of your fine dog in your current avatar, I think if you post a poll on here as to whether or not the gang thinks you should change your avatar to that first photo (kilt and all)....you are going to be overwhelmed with feedback to add a new avatar!!! Given what Rob did with TG's avatar, maybe we could even do it on the sly!!!!!! :saywhat:
Regardless.......those are great photos. You'll never have to worry about any of the MO guys saying "show me"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clapper:
Mudd;
Sorry but it made me chuckle too. So happens I was watching an old 3 stooges last night ( Fiddlers 3 ); yeah, I know my wife says there is something wrong with me. I still like the ( Little Rascals ) too. Any way I thought you would have fit right in as a 4th Stooge with your pointy hat. It pays to be thick skinned when you post photos like that. I loved it. Thanks for sharing with us.

Better pass any extra hats you might have on to Russell Crowe . . . before he messes the character up:^)
Nice Hat!!!! Please do not post any pics of you in tights LOL
Thanks for sharin!!
Barry
Great hat Mudd. I gotta have one so pass that pattern on to me please. Bob
GREAT LOOKING HAT!
Now you can join the President in "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor!" :D
Did I just type that? LoL! :scared:
I've gotten so many requests for the links I'll just go ahead and post them here

Oh man, no pattern for the kilt? :biglaugh:
Boy Mudd...I wish I had posted below you in the "White Elephant" :banghead:
Gene :biglaugh:
Mudd that is a nice hat. Your profile looks like that of Jackie Gleason.and that is a compliment.? did he ever play Robin Hood :biglaugh:
Suede.....is it hot? Some of the skater kids wear toboggans year round....I guess you might start a trend. :D Maybe try some felt to let it breath. I really think you should change your avatar. Great pix.
I would change the avatar but I don't know how. I went to edit profile and select a different avatar but all I could choose from was the icons.
Help?
Thanks!
God bless,Mudd
Nice hat Mudd! You'd fit right in with our medieval hunters in St. Hubert's Rangers ;)
:clapper: :clapper: reminds me of the old joke.....wearthefoxhat
Just had a thought;
I wonder how many of the girls on tradgang have made these photos their desktop wallpaper. L.O.L.
people will buy anything...put them suckers into production and enjoy!

Hahaha !!! I'd be willing to bet you'd have a bunch of fingers left over even just counting on one hand...
God bless,Mudd
Mudd,Start makin 'em and put me down for the first! Green Please! Most of us here on Tradgang are half a bubble off of plum anyways,you'd sell a bunch.
Hey Mudd, I wonder if you could get Top Porter to give up his bowler?
I wouldn't mind having one of those myself. I just like hats. Lots and lots of hats and different kinds of hats. This past week I added two more styles to the ones I already have.
I also had to mail one back to the Hat Shop in San Diego, Ca, It came today and when I put it on it went down almost over my ears..lol
I hate to admit it but I may be about as close to having a hat fetish as anyone I know.
God bless,Mudd

Mudd, I'd think that kilt a little breezy in a tree stand. Or is that why deer are starting to look up? The hat rocks! H
Best wallpaper I've had yet!
Look through Chet Stevenson's "Den of the Old Bowhunter" and you will find many kindred spirits.
Killdeer
Looks great!!
Wow! I'm really honored if I really got used as wallpaper.
I'll have to put that book on my wish list.
I've never heard of it, but that's a very long list when I start thinking about those things..lol
God bless,Mudd
I like the hat Mudd!
cool ...
Very nice hat, Mudd! I like it very much. I heard one member of our archery club is proposing a Funny Hat Shoot. Now I know what to wear.
a guy had one aT ALONGBOW SAFARI SOME YEARS BACK IT WAS MADE OF BLACK FELT I LIKE IT
I have ordered some different colors of suede leather to try. The black looks ok but I want some reds and blues and some plain old cowhide color.
Thanks again for all the kind words.
God bless,Mudd
