I took a Charlie McCarthy vent doll top hat, roughed it up, and aged it by painting it with raw umber acrylic paint. This hat will be worn by my Elmore hobo character. I'll use a length of ribbon for the hat band.

Kenny, why don't you use a lenght of frayed rope for the hat band instead? Wouldn't it look more "hoboish" that way? Great job with the hat! Looks perfect for a hobo! Marcelo.
