Weathered SOC/truck chase fedora
Hey everyone it's been quite awhile since I've visited this forum so I thought I'd drop by this morning to show you this weathered Raiders fedora from pure beaver I made recently. I'd have to say it's not too shabby for being only the second fully weathered job I've ever done...

Looks incredible - how exactly did you weather it? Any tips/ techniques for applying the dirt (or is it Fullers Earth)?

Brian, be honest now -- did you time-travel and grab that hat off Harrison Ford's head when nobody was looking?

Re: Weathered SOC/truck chase fedora
Thanks very much! I use a combination of two different shades of costume dust plus a little acrylic paint. And if you're wondering whether the paint is permanent the answer is yes and no. If I was to really lay on the acrylic then yes it would be extremely difficult to remove if not impossible. However my technique is to apply the paint(mixed with water) very conservatively in a manner that I've discovered can be removed with sandpaperKen wrote:Looks incredible - how exactly did you weather it?

Re: Weathered SOC/truck chase fedora
WOW. I have really gone to town weathering jackets before but somehow with a hat its different for me. I have got it dirty but acrylic paint - I don't think I would trust myself not to make a mistake that would be permanent or require sandpaper to remove. You are a brave, and talented, individual! Definitely worth it though - one of the best looking fedoras I have seen.Screencapped wrote:Thanks very much! I use a combination of two different shades of costume dust plus a little acrylic paint.
