Do you make all of your hats with 100 percent wool felt or can it be with polyester felt? Also, can the hats be wool with another material blend? Thanks for the video.
@GreenBunnyHats2 жыл бұрын
100 percent wool or 100 fur felt. Polyester fibers to not stretch correctly. They do what I call pickling and bunch up and get very wrinkly. I've tried both blends and strati forward they would work if you want to cut then out and sew a Trilby but not for any type of hat block work.

Hi there! I love your videos and am trying to get into this. I ordered two hat shapers (in a size for my head, so kind of small) and one pretty standard wool felt capeline from etsy. It all finally came and it looks like the dome that is already stretched into the capeline is larger than my hat shaper.. so I wouldnt really be stretching, I would be I guess shrinking it to the mold. It just made me realize that I didn't look into the sizing of the domes of the capelines and just how wide the edges go for cutting. Do you have any suggestions? I could just get a larger hat shaper, but then the hats wouldn't fit my head! Anyway, any info would be very helpful. Thank you!
@GreenBunnyHats2 жыл бұрын
the capelines and hoods all come free size. You are going to end up with more brim then you need- you can do one of two things with the dome part when you steam it and pull it down then take your twine and wrap it and you will have the excess to work around (will have to iron flat the excess and cut to where you want it) or you can cut the dome off and re attach the brim to the hat after your crown is dry.

If you wanted to burn the hat to distress it how is that done? Would you spray a little rubbing alcohol on it then light it? I see so many videos of people spraying the hats with something but they never say what it is.
@GreenBunnyHats2 жыл бұрын
the burning you are describing is done to burn off the extra hairs after sanding. The alcohol has to be as high proof to have a clean quick burn. The distressing and marking is done with lighters, blow torches and wood burning pens. ThunderVoice Hat Co has done it with gunpowder. Their hats are quite beautifully and masterfully distressed.

you would order a Capeline or a Hood- the hood is just a dome shaped felt piece and the capeline is a dome with different sized "brim" piece you can get flat felt (needs to be a little ticker than what you want) and you can use a Dome shaper to stretch it into a workable shape- takes some time and lots of patience!
