This is a digital PDF pattern that will enable you to craft a leather Ridgeway patrol cap.
Watch the video tutorial here https://youtu.be/KowUxJQEluc
- This cap is the model that replaced the M1951 cap which was worn in the Korean War, where it became known as the "patrol cap" by the US Army Rangers there.
- The hat also became famous outside America after being worn by Fidel Castro.
- We used 5-6 oz ( ~ 2 mm ) leather for this project but you may use whatever type of leather you prefer for the exterior. In the place of the sweatband you will also need some thinner leather that can bend really easily.
- You will also need four eyelets of your own choosing in size.
- All sizes included.

Great pattern easy to understand

good pattern, good instructional video. The only down side is that this pattern does not have a pattern set for each size but does provide a scale to tell you what percent to print the pattern at to obtain the 11 different sizes. This should be a fun and relatively easy build.

Great pattern, bit difficult to follow the instructions at some points but it came together honestly once I carefully followed the video!
