Round two of the suede steampunk aviator hats I created last year

It evolved from the idea of Catwoman's leather cap, and imagining how that would look in a steampunk universe. The idea just went from there, becoming a suedecloth cap (because while I like leather, I like suede even more, and suedecloth is washable) with minky lining (because minky is amazingly soft), and painted side panels so I could introduce more design elements to the whole deal. I also tried out different colors and different animal ears for variety and fun.

This one features gear motifs (painted in gold) on each side and rabbit ears on top The outside is copper suede with cream minky lining.
