Gee, thanks a bunch. Hobby Lobby carries the houndstooth. Be sure and use their forty percent discount coupon (works for online orders also!!!).
The hat ... well, I googled "bear bryant fedora" and got a small pic and enlarged it, simplifying the lines into something I thought I could duplicate by applique. I can scan and email to you if you want a copy.
Check out rapidresizer.com for enlarging patterns. That's what I used for the large "A" in the center. Free for 14 days. Are you aware that the newer fabric has a different "A" than the one I used? Mine is the older version ... newer one has tip pointing upward.
