It's about time someone posted a decent video on fur hat making. Your coyotes are much heavier furred than what we have down here in Georgia. I have made several Alaskan trapper style hats and though the pattern differs significantly the assembly process is similar to yours. When sewing in the liner I often leave the opening in the front rather than the back for turning. This allows me to sew in a bill as I close up the front. A bill not only shades your eyes but it keeps the fur from tickling your eyebrows. Thank you for posting.

I followed your instructional videos and made myself a raccoon trapper hat. It took a fews weeks to make but it turned out awesome! I had two pretty large coons and I barley had enough fur to work with. The hat is crazy warm and crazy cool looking!

I'm very impressed because I thought this was going to be one of those jacked up DIY videos and it turned out to be yeah albeit definitely a home made deal but a lot more methodical than I anticipated. I have some premium coyote hides I shot and killed in South Dakota abou 5 years ago and have pretty much the same tools you have on hand. I fleshed and tanned all my hides using good tools and products and they came out primo so I'm looking forward to making my own coyote fur hat using your method, it seems simple enough. Thanks for all the pointers especially about sizing.

+leafinitup1 Hi leafinitup, I left an opening in the back of the hat that's not noticeable; when the hat gets wet or damp I flick the moisture off, let the hat dry fur side out then flip the hat fur side in to let the hide dry. I haven't had problems with the hide stiffening up.

hey thanks for getting back to me so soon! I am going to try and trap one this winter. but I think I'm going to go ahead and order a pelt so that I can practice on one so when I do trap on myself I won't screw up the project! I have everything I need except for the butcher paper and the Pelt. again thanks for getting back to me it looks like it'll be a fun project to do this winter when there's a ton of snow

Great video! I must have missed the flap part, because when you made the pattern, it didn't show that you cut 4 pieces for the flap. I got confused with the flaps when you sewed the inside part. Can you explain the flaps how you got that? Was the two flaps sewed in half?

Have a question on your lining, did you cut the same pieces for your lining as you did for the exterior of the hat all except for the ear flaps that you cut out of fur. Now you sew the lining all the way around the hat except for 4 to 5 inches on the back for turning, is this correct? My husband is making a hat and wasn't for sure how to put the lining in and you don't show it being sewn into the hat, just want to make sure we do this right. What kind if material did you use for your lining? Thanks for your help and great video. Tammy
@SaskHunting

Hi Tammy, the liner for the head is a medium weight polyester fabric I found at a sewing store. The liner is the exact dimensions as the exterior. You sew all edges together except the spot you pull the hat out from. Don't sew the interior of the hat to the exterior to adhere the two pieces as you will not be able to fold it right side out afterwards. Only sew the edges all around the hat. If this explanation doesn't do the trick, watch part 3, it takes you through the process of the interior of the h

Hey, firstly I have no idea about fur stuff and actually never even touched fur (only cat and dog fur) but wouldn´t it feel really nice if you have the fur facing inside, touching your skin? Like in gloves for example? :D Like I said I have no knowledge about fur/ leather so yeah, I just imagine that it feels amazingly soft :p
