I got so addicted to these hats that I liked this video before I even reached 20 seconds. I saw the hats in the background and thought "he must have made those hats". Good vid.

[@Liz_ArdE]

I find that pictures and text can sometimes be a bit confusing when trying to follow a pattern so this video was super helpful, thank you for sharing!

[@HawkWorley]

Glad I could help.

[@zoaratustra]

I thank you infinitely for your detailed tutorial

[@rosefrench2814]

Oh my gosh, THANK YOU! I could not figure out how the brim was supposed to go on without a super visible seam. Thank you!

[@HawkWorley]

I'm glad to help.

[@treerat7631]

The caps are based off from Italian,Ausrto Hungarian and German alpine caps from both world wars

[@Ghostbuster_Webs]

Great job Hawk

[@ScoutTrooper33633]

Nice one Hawk

[@GinaBerry-p4o]

Try a jeans needle and I was wondering what thickness of interfacing you use?

[@HawkWorley]

Pellon Shir Tailor 950 F is the exact Interfacing I tend to use. I have tons of different needles, and I always forget to change them.

[@helenking5507]

Great tutorial! What weight interfacing did you use?

[@HawkWorley]

I tend to use Pellon 950F ShirTailor Fusible Interfacing

This is a wonderful tutorial video Definitely going to try and make my own now I’ve always wanted to build a hoth hat also May try and use some of the techniques to make one but not sure if the visor part will work for that Have u ever made a hoth hat ?

[@HawkWorley]

I have not made one, but it on the list. The whole Hoth Trooper is there, but the hard part is finding time.

[@ianislater1]

@@HawkWorley thanks buddy

[@DocMessina]

can you please reccommend where to buy and what kind of fabric? thank you

[@OldMacDuck]

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say Hawk plays guitar

[@HawkWorley]

Hawk use to play guitar, but that was a long time ago, now it's just habit.

[@HawkWorley]

But I do keep meaning to pick it back up, when I have time...

[@Hesikaya1]

Hey Hawk, What's the name of the fabric you use?

[@Anaryon]

Molto utile, grazie 🥰 ho solo due domande , che tipo di tessuto é , e il tipo di gesso che usi . Grazie mille

[@HawkWorley]

è solo normale gesso da marciapiede, lo stesso tipo che usano nelle aule. il tessuto è un cotone con trama in gaberdine. quando torno a casa vedo se riesco a trovare un link.

[@Anaryon]

@@HawkWorley grazie mille 🥰 ne ho già fatti due con un cotone che avevo in casa grazie al tuo tutorial è facilissimo

[@marksmales2204]

What count is the fabric? Is it 11 or 14 count? :)

[@pablomendez4800]

Hi i like to see how to make a Darth Vader cape and the part under the belt please tanks

[@AfterDarkVision]

Really can't find the template 😔 any link?

[@michworld4849]

just found this, its not the original but it should work if you are still interested cyberseams.com/downloads/ImperialHatPattern.pdf

[@AfterDarkVision]

@@michworld4849 thank you so much!

[@elgatoremendado1115]

Are you selling those?

[@HawkWorley]

I don't really have time for the new projects I want to do, let alone make time to sew hats a a price that is reasonable. I would love to have that kind of time, but I don't. No, I don't sell them, but I hear there is a good tutorial on how to make them on KZbin.

[@elgatoremendado1115]

Thanks for your feedback That’s really well crafted kudos

[@marksmales2204]

How much fabric is needed to make 1-2 Imperial officer hats?.

[@HawkWorley]

1-2 yards. I tend to get about a yard per hat.

[@marksmales2204]

What type of iron on interfacing? Please. Is it lightweight or med/ heavy or canvass? ☺️ Is it the same type for the peaks too? I'd like to try an make on this week
