I made myself a Carbon Kevlar Trilby for a hat party that i went to. It came out pretty cool, needs a bit of a fix up tho. making the patten was the hardest part. The carbon kevlar has a great parrern. The weave was done purely for aesthetics, and on the reverse side, the pattern and colour is reversed. Next time i make one i need to use a heat resist resin, perhaps an epoxy. The resin that i used tends to go soft when its hot, so the hat deforms on a warm day.
