<p>Oh, I though you wanted a 29" or more brim! You should have no problem with making a felt brim 8" in size. Sombreros are that size and I have made cowboy hats with that size brim. You just need to have the right felt. You need a very heavy felt made for men's hats. It is much thicker than regular felt. Some of the vintage felts (which is what I use) are thick and can be used for this. You will also need to size it quite heavily (layer at a time) but the thicker, better felts can…</p>

I You might want to contact a Hatter or men's hat maker and see if you can get a felt cart or cartwheel from them. You might refer to it as something different. It is like a cone but has a already has a wide flared brim. I have included a photo. If you look closely you can see the felt is much thicker. This brim is already 6 inches and has not yet been blocked.

<p style="text-align: left;">Yes that’s right It’s quite extreme drawing. To be more precisely Im kinda looking for flat top fedora with a brim that is at least 20cm wide (8 in) maybe even wider. Would u still suggest a wire frame for that as well. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And thank u very much for the answer </p>

<p>First, this is a drawing that is exaggerated so getting those proportions would be very difficult and almost impossible to wear. The only thing I can suggest it to make a wire frame for the felt to sit on and then sew it down. Good luck.</p>
