   That looks great, good luck with the rest.  This fabric should last a long time.  Good choice, it will also be good if it rains.....giggle.  Great hat.

   Very nice! And I imagine the boys will enjoy wearing them, too!

   I didn't even think of leather, real or faux ~ glad you found something that does what it needs to do, so well!Kharmin

   A truly well completed project!   Having a piece to try out helped it all to fall into place.  Was the choice pleather or something else?

   Thank you for posting your results.  Sometimes this gets missed.

   If I'm remembering correctly, you mentioned other having been damaged in storing.  Any chance those you make can be stuffed with acid free tissue and propped in such a way to keep the bill properly shaped?   To reduce collecting dust,  maybe each could be covered in a white cotton bag of sorts.
