The Making of Deerstalker H67

The finished Hat - Gilboa Deerstalker H67


The main fabric; made in England. Finely woven wool / silk blend with traditional hounds-tooth pattern.

To add some texture, the yellow lines are traced with pin-tucks, which produces a embossed effect.
Following this, the pieces are carefully cut so that the pattern matches when joining them together.


The hat is taking on shape ...


More pieces need to be cut and the lining has been selected.


 Preparing the flaps ...


 Visors have been attached at the front and back ....



 Almost there ....


 The lining is made and prepared ....


Lastly, the lining is basted into position before finalising the hat.
