Cutting down hat brim
Jeremiah Jones:
I got a good deal on a cowboy hat at the local Tractor Supply. However, the brim is larger than I like. The hat is nice enough I don't want to butcher it. I am thinking of using a leather cutter and a steady hand. ??? Any better suggestions?

Silver Creek Slim:
BTW, how large is the brim?

Professor Marvel:
I have cut brims with both "very sharp scissors" and a sewing cutting wheel, with a template.
I highly recommend the cutting wheel and template, but you will probably need to make your own template.
hope this helps

Howdy Jer,
It's kind of hard to imagine a hat brim that is too large.
