Building a Cowboy Hat

I have always been intrigued by the process of making cowboy hats. So I lined it up with my good friend/hat maker Sampson Moss of Prairie Wind Hatworks. He shows us everything from Lighting the hats on fire to building the perfect fit. It was very fun to watch the process hope you enjoy!

There is a lot that goes into making a custom hat! It is truly an art... beautifully done!

Massively well done. Proof that you don’t have to have a 1900s conformitor or formillion. Just quality felt, know how, and patience.

I recall back in the 1960s on Monday nights was Scouts. I ironed my shirt. scarf and lastly was my Stetson. Now at 70 it's just too over loosing it expensive to own a Stetson. My last Stetson is at the bottom of OKANAGAN LAKE B.C. I hope something enjoys it; I'm still pissed after loosing it long ago. THANKS. Alberta Canada

How do you even get the shape to start with? Just a normal sheet of felt? Block it and then cut a circle? Also what style hat is that, that you're wearing?

This was very interesting. One thing I love about youtube is I learn about random things and today it was hat making. I'm a big fan of wool felt, it's cool to learn about other fibers used for felt. Much love ❤️

What a wonderful skill to keep. I wish you the best on your dream for being #1 Canadian hat designer. I will be following you. My Father and Grandparents were very happy hat wearing people. We would take a trip to go and get their hats.

I struggle to understand why so many people want a cattleman's style hat. So many interesting styles to be had.

I really like the hat he’s wearing, it looks the the cowboy painter Charlie Russell’s hat

Hello from Texas,
I do my own hat cleaning and shaping myself, you do great work by the way. I will try the flame technique on my hats and see how it works.

I wear a hat almost every day, I want one of these

I love cowboy hats and always reshape them after I purchase them. Broken in sombreros are the best.
