Laura Ingalls Laredo Palm Gus Hat

People often ask "where do I get my inspiration from?" Well, quite frankly from all over! This hat - Laredo, came to be from the faux turquoise Concho slider. It all came together so very quickly once I put that slider on the leather. The base of the hatband starts with brown leather and then there is the second layer with that beautiful slider surrounded with nailheads and faux turquoise spots. The back of the band is finished with a deer antler slider bead. The ever flattering palm Gus hat body has a 4" brim and a 5 1/4" crown. It is hand laced in deep chocolate brown leather.
