How to make a Bomber Hat, Threadbanger Projects

Soooooo nice! I'm gonna make one for mle, it's freezing.here! Thanks a lot

:D! This is the best site i've ever stumbled upon! 
I love this design! Can't wait to make my own, why stop at plaid? Skulls, hearts, snowflakes, stripes, rainbows...its endless! :D
I'm really interested in these cute "Balli Imports" fake cur animal hats with the attached paw mittens! I know this would be a fun task as well but can't find a pattern online! :( These are a great adorable way to stay warm this winter 

Rock!!!

Where can I find the link for this pattern?

so cool!!!! i wish i could get a sewing machine....:'(

where is the pattern link?..where can I get the pattern

Where do i find this pattern???

You did an awesome job - I've got to try this pattern!

thanks for the tips n patterns this project gave me something to do and great presents for my sister and friends

How should I measure all the pieces if my head is big or smaller than twenty two inches? Sorry, I'm new to diy-ing!

Awesome!:3
(hats...hats...ha...ts....)

please help me!!!!!!!!!! i need to make a bowler hat, i didn't find it and i need you so much  for my  halloween costume (alex delarge- a clockwork orange).  thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much!  I need to make an aviator cap for my 7-year-old and I think this will really help.  Really like the to-the-point, clear style of your video!

i miss you :S i hate nnn for fiering you

This is amazing!
I used fake leather and fur, and didnt put on the peak and pompoms, and it's an old school aviator hat for a fancy dress costume!
Thanks threadbanger xx

is 1 yard of fabric enough? Also, could you make a bomber hat by crochet or knitting?

I Really Hate Clothes Shopping And Feel Good When I Wear Something I Have Made So Could You Do So More Guys Fashion Like Tee's And Stuff Thanks 'Snip' 'Snip' 'Snip'

made one out of some left over fabric. some amazing black lime green pink and blue plaid, with black velvet on the inside. added some to the bottom and a stripe on the top side seams, since the hat was a bit small for my head, but it turned out really really great!

I need a snow hat so please show me how to make a hat like the string hat in johny tsunami. I found a place to buy one but where is the fun in that.

Mine turned out great (used purple and black plaid and dark grey fur).  It is on the short side, though, for my taste.  I suppose the bottom strip could be thickened to one's preference... the ear flaps could go on forEVER!  :)

I started making this and it is turning out pretty well.  However, the fur that I used (because it was 50% off at Hancock Fabric) has a suede back and is really hard to work with.  Other than that this is great!  Thanks for the tutorial.

KEEP THE MEN'S FASHION COMING!!

Thanks a lot for the tutorial gays, been looking for something like this for a while :)
Time to dig out the sewing machine!

Thanks for this post.  This will be my next project.  Now I have to make a run to a second hand store for materials.

Hi! I love this project. Thanks so much for posting the pattern in the forums! One question...how do I access the tutorial that Spirou55 sent in to crochet the strings and pom-poms? I figured out how to crochet a daisy chain. My first hat I cheated and bought pom-poms in black, but I can't find pre-made ones in the color I need for the 2nd hat I am making.  If anyone knows how to access that tutorial? Pleeease? These hats are so awesome and fun! : )

cool! I love the hats and this is hermoso!

I used fabric from JoAnn's, my dad made me get 2 yards of each and i figure i can make about 10 hats with all that fabric.

I just finished making my hat and it's awesome! This was my first thread banger project and i was so surprised that i actually did it! I didn't have a sewing machine so i had to do it all by hand. It was a lot of work and my dad didn't think i could do it. I proved him wrong!

you should show us how to make something for dogs

BOMBER HATS RULE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great tutorial! I've made hats before, but they never really turned out. This one worked really well. I used red and white polka dot fabric for the outside, to match the lining for the coat I'm making.

So I made one for my friend as a gift & one for me. Everyone I show it too. Loves it. Now I have people practically ordering them. Thanks, its soo easy, quick and fun.

Im trying to make some last minute christmas gifts for the 5 brothers, love how you used an old flannel shirt, we have tons of those just laying around. keep the guy ideas comin..

Its an awesome bomber hat, but I can't figure out the math for a head that is 17 and 1/2 inches around, for my baby sister. You don't explain in the video how you get the sizes for all the other parts of the hat except for the circle please give me the math behind it, I love the hats :D really want one

omg gtg make 1 of mi own luv this!!!

Fab video, my hat turned out great Thanks :)

I love that hat! Please more things for men
Oh and PERFECT Channel!

That is so cool. id like to make that!

I cannot understand the math part, he goes way too fast, I don't think it is explained very clearly.  I would love to make this hat but I don't understand which math part he is talking about goes with which piece of the hat.  Please help=0)

i love thesesss hats so much

thanks a ton for this tutorial! my cousin and i were shopping yesterday, and these hats were EVERYWHERE... she kept saying that they were calling to her. so guess what her Christmas present is going to be? :D

Hey im trying to make my own pattern for a 23in head.. and i got the circle part but idk how much bigger to make the other pieces

Thanks! I'm always looking for sweet things to make my husband. Stay Warm, and Happy Holidays!

You look like Uncle Eddie from Christmas Vacation. lol

rob- u make sewing lot HOTTT!!  love it!

This may sound like a dumb question...but where do you find these pattern pieces? :)

hey noticed that monster with the open mouth. can you show us how to make it??? thanks. see ya

yea. a top hat would bee nice:D

Once again. I need a top hat for steampunk. I want  you guys 2 make a vid 4 it. I dont wanna have 2 spend Ridiculous prices 4 1 so can u guys make a vid on how 2 make 1:)

hey here is an idea since its close to xmas how a vid on elf shoes and maybe an outfit to go with the shoes

why were there no friday or thursday episodes this week?

Show idea:

ok, so I would really like some cute fun DRESSY shoes, but I need my feet to be comfortable, and I don't have a lot of money. So I either have to wear really uncomfortable pretty shoes or really comfortable ugly shoes. There has to be a better way! Can you do a video on dress up shoes?

Finally found the pattern pieces--who knew there was a threadbanging blog?!?  I do now.  

I'm making a cool bomber hat--thanks for the tutorial;)  I'm wearing a new bomb-ass hat to work tomorrow!!!!!

What a great tutorial! Very specific handy pattern pieces. Winter idea: a warm skirt, leggings, making a short-sleeve shirt into a long-sleeve? Keep up the great work - Love the show! Clip-clip!

Thanks for the tutorial!!! Awesome guys tutorial. I've been wanting a bomber hat, I just didn't wanna pay the rediculous prices for them. I will def be making this as soon as I find a good patterned shirt. Time to go thrifting!!! Thanks guys!

I have so got to make a girl version of this its amazing xd

i really want to make this. its awesome!! and my head is cold.
and i happen to have the same size head has you :) yay!!!

...hey where can i watch that video on how to make the tassels and pom poms???? i could just make one up myself but it looked cool please tell me.  K

i think this is mos deff a bomb-ass idea! especially since its the season to wear them i dont have to spend like  on one that everyone else is going to wear! thx threadbanger=D

nice, im so gonna try this!! by the way, could you guys show a tutorial for a fleece hoodie kinda thing. i have a bunch of fleece that i need to use... :)

since new years is also coming up, could you show a tutorial on making a 20's flapper inspired top for the parties and dances coming up? :D maybe a tshirt recon ?:)

hey guys and gals at threadbanger i have been away for a bit but im back and wow what a show to come back to totally dig the hat and here a while back I was thinking i wanted a bomber hat for my walk abouts. I walk everywere I go around my small town and yet I am twisted so this hat would be a kick to wear and already have the stuff to make it. took a break from sewing and went to workin on my other hobby----lamps out of cedar. need to set up a online store somewere i think lol.  take care and happy holidays to you all and keep up the great work you all are doing for I do think you are pushing this country in a direction I very much like reuse reuse reuse. i have cloths from when i was a teenager and yep i have used some of them in my projects lol so reused and worn.

Here is a good tip.  When you cut fur, don't cut through the actual fur.  Flip it over (fur side down)  and only let your scissors or blade cut through the fabric or leather if using real fur.  Then pull  it apart.  This way when you comb the fur out of the seams, you dont have any cut fur and all the long hairs remain. 
 *I want to say something  here that might make some people upset  but I feel it needs to be said.   After seeing the clip and seeing that he is using fake fur, I want to point out that fake fur is not vegan at all, it is actually VERY polluting to manufacture.   Real furs can be naturally tanned and is sustainable and biodegradable.   I am mentioning this only because a lot of people think fake fur is ok when in fact, most of  it's a nightmare.

Great episode, I love the hat.

this is great. i love the "bombs away!" in the background.

Loved it, but, as it is DAMN hot in Brazil, i rather keep this project in store for the next winter here. =D

I absolutely love it!!!!  Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

Love it! Very good video, I'm still learning but you guys are very inspiring. :)

make PJ's!! for x-mas!

Now Rob be honest.  How many days did Corrine wait to steal this hat?

can you make it so that you can turn it inside out so you have a choice of fur on the outide or plad on the outside?

Why don't you guys use centimetres? But I like this very much, so I have to do some calculation because I'm gonna make this!!

I think this just took care of my dads christmas gift XD  (my dad was a peace keeper in the airforce so this would be an awesome gift!)now I can make a beret and a bomber hat! (my two fav kind of hats)

Could you guys please make a winter hat with cat ears before X-Mas?  My best friend who lives many states away requested I make her one-- I was going to wing it, but I would love to have a little bit of help!  Thanks!

Great!  I cannot wait to try this...can you please show some doggy winter tutorials....please...my yorkie would love a tutorial on some super cool winter gear~

awesome, i have the perfect leftover fabric for this project!

ssooooooooo cooooollll. definately making one of those

OMG!!! This is PERFECT for the upcoming weather!! Thanx for posting this, i almost bought a  one the other day.

One tip that was not included- you should use a razor on the wrong side to cut the faux fur!!! It is much much easier and more accurate! 

hey everybody! Crazily I had just ordered a bomber hat when I stumbled across this tutorial (literally minutes before!) although I had promised myself I'd make one. In fact I'd also ordered two others for family and friends. Nevermind a grrl can never have too many hats what, what? I've made this one (see pic) in faux fur and leather. I have leopard print too so thats the next project! Cheers so much for having the good sense to post this xxx

I totally love bomber hats and ended up spending over  for the one I have on my head right now. Think I'm going to make myself a few more for the winter now that you posted this totally kick a$$ tut. Thanks!
