Sources for the leather hat used in these instructions are provided under Obtaining Materials.
If you can't find a hat that tape will adhere to, try a ski hat, large bonnet, 1920's style flapper hat or even a very large swim hat. Any large hat that 8 sheets of Velostat can be fitted into will work.
• SCS Velostat, Part number 1706, 6 mils thick (.006"), 2 square yards or SCS Velostat, Part number 1704, 4 mils thick (.004"), 3 square yards.
• Large sheet of paper about 18" by 18" for making pattern; newspaper will work.
