Plague hat leather pattern PDF - by LeatherHubPatterns

Digital PDF patterns for crafting a leather plague doctor mask and matching top hat. Includes clear layouts for historical cosplay.

About the plague doctor hat:
- The video tutorial is at https://youtu.be/40DiNscVwMg
- The pattern comes in all sizes and you need to measure your head circumference ( from your forehead to the back of your head ) when picking the right pattern.
- We used 6 oz ( 2 mm ) vegetable tanned leather for this one but you may use whatever weight you prefer. If you wish for the brim to be a bit stiffer then you may opt for 3 mm ( 6-7 oz ) or simply stiffer leather.
- Along with mostly using saddle stitching, the project employs the using of cross stitching so make sure you can reproduce it before buying.
- The project is dyed using Fiebing's Pro Black dye and sealed with Acrylic Resolene.

About the plague doctor mask:
- The video tutorial is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZfX4lVsS0c&t=2s
- The pattern comes in all sizes and you need to measure your head circumference ( from your forehead to the back of your head ) when picking the right size. The head ball studs that are used on the straps also provide some adjustment range so you will definitely achieve a reasonable fit.
- We used 6 oz ( ~ 2 mm ) vegetable tanned leather for the entire project along with ten, 7 mm cap sized rivets for securing the lenses and another five, 9 mm cap sized rivets for attaching the straps.
- You will also require 2-4 head ball studs, long enough to pass through 3 layers of leather.
- Fiebing's dye and Acrylic Resolene is what used to dye and finish the leather but you may pick pre dyed leather as well.
- For making the lenses you will require any type of 2-3 mm thick acrylic material but we bought a cheap photo filter set which comes with 24 pieces of different shades and tints and it's been great value for money.

💡 The absolute minimum tools you'll need for this project are a cutter ( box opener ), a metal ruler, a mallet, a 2 and a 4 mm punch, two blunt needles and a cutting mat. We use masking tape to prepare the pattern and always sew with 1 mm waxed thread. That's short and sweet but please PM us for more info if you're just starting out.

💡You may print this pattern at Actual size on any of the following paper types: US Letter, A4-A0, Legal and Ledger / Tabloid by selecting the US_Letter format from your printing options.
