HAT SHAPING | How To Get The Perfect Cowboy Hat (Ft Worth, Texas)

At the Ft. Worth Stock Show and Rodeo I had a cowboy hat made for myself. While there I found one of the most passionate hat artists in the business and couldn't resist capturing his process on camera since there is so much that goes into hat shaping and styling. Now I feel more like a true Texan. Even though I've never been a cowboy, I am certainly proud of the state I am from and the culture that exists there.

Raul is a craftsman. Good to see someone still knows the business.

I like that Raul hat etiquette. Growing up in church in the south, you'd never catch a man with a hat on inside the church and you certainly take your hat off when you're praying. amen

My Respect to Texas State and great People like Raul God Bless 🙏🏻

[ramiroalejandre]

Raul a truly cowboy!
He nicely wears his perfect hat, none the less he created a nice work of art for the gentleman love the color, and style they choose for his hat.

That’s my hat shaper, Raul is top notch.

[joelcrow]

Man he totally shaped that thing to look like YOU! It's beautiful.

[SimpleEnglishListening]

Awesome! Always wondered how you had such a perfect hat!

[sapbuckets]

Raul is good at what he does, and he made your hat ten times better than even his own. When it comes to cowboy hats, nothing says "hipster" more than that popular yet goofy-looking rodeo bend in his brim that's only functional for those swinging a lasso by their head.

Great video! You can see that young fella loves his job

When you said go out cowboying, you really went a good ways from DFW. At least that looked like Carlsbad Cavern that you were walking down into. West Texas and New Mexico are some of my very favorite places on the planet.
