Good luck to you. The hat maker I had found to make me a petasos called me and cancelled the whole think. I'm now trying to find a way to make one myself.
As for the Kausia, order one from Afganistan

Actually I wasn't joking. If you could find an afgani hat or order one you would save your self a lot of trouble. Well, people might stare you funny but still.....
As for hat making I found this site

Petasos is a project for the future so I haven't tried anything yet

Kurt though after Alexander the Afgani cup found its way west the kafsia was not that. I have post debunking that arrount the forum.
Please search "Kafsia" or "Kausia" or "Cafsia".
Kind regards

Thanks Paul.
Kalimachos, I was thinking, there is a number of members serving in Afganistan. Why don't you ask around? There may be someone who can help you.
