European Hare in Silverbelly
This was definitwly a challenging hat to make. I had never seen this shape before until Jeff Biggars (Biggar Hats) starting making them a few years ago. I believe it's based off of an old shape from the 40s, but I really couldn't find any info or old pictures of it.
Anyway, I did my best to build it based off of the few pics I had access to.
Added a touch of distressing to it and a 3-ply ribbon to finish it off.
