Welcome and wow. That is quite a question. There are a number of vendors on the forum who maybe able to give you some direction on this question but I'm guessing that if you want to make a fur felt fedora yourself, there's going to be a certain investment in time and tools to make that happen. A significant investment in fact.

I recommend you start by taking a few hours and reading
through this site. There are years of posts here and a lot of
information. Get to know the Search function.

Here are three threads to get you started:

Making a New Hat

Various Online Hat Books (note that the links are broken but are probably easily figured out).

Triple F and Feltfan offered gracious comments that might get you started on your journey.

I don't really believe I have enough knowledge on the topic to give you a decent reply, but I did wonder if you know that the word is spelled "fedora" and not "ferdora" as you wrote.

I'm not overtly being an ass in asking, but it does beg the question as you are on the "Fedora" Lounge. Maybe you just made a typo.

Well, on the keyboard, the R is right next to the E...

thanks heaps. I'll definately look into it more. thanks fore the spell check too. Im not the best speller (as you can gather) and wasnt really thinking about the spelling of it... i just like how they look and stumbling on this place made me wonder how they're made...

Step one: Pile up around $350 to $600 American dollars.

Step two: Call Art or Optimo.

Step three: (secret magic happens)

Step four: Wear your hat.

If Lefty's plan is not feasible, at the moment, you can always start with two rabbits...

I really didn't hope to sound like a pedantic jerk with the spelling thing, but I'm not sure I succeeded. Thanks for your gracious acceptance, Temeti. Again, good luck on your journey.
