D bar J Hat Company - Interview with Master Hatter, David Johnson

Who buys a D bar J hat? All hats are creased by hand using a Jiffy Steamer. How long does it take to make a hat? Can they be worn in the rain? Will they shrink? David creases a Cav Hat and talks about famous people who wore them. David discusses some History of Hat making, including JB Stetson figuring out how to stiffen hats. David shows how to use his blocking machine(1860's, very few around). Where does hat fur come from? Portugal and Tennessee connection. Crown irons (1920) and their operation. Where did David get all of his equipment? Helmet hats(D bar J no longer makes the helmet hat). Period correct hats - BOP, Prescott and Derbys in Tombstone.
Styles of the following are shown Derbys, Top Hats, Cattlemans, Cav Hat , Oreana, Montanas, Federalli, Texas Torpedo, Fedoras. Roy Rogers and his hats...a bit of History about how David became the Official Hat Maker for the Roy Rogers Museum.

Love your work

Fascinating video! I love all your videos and certainly love what you're doing. Thanks so much for sharing! About the Roy Rogers hat. Have you seen the home movie video of Roy shaping a hat? Roy's son, Dusty shot the movie. The video tape was purchased at an estate sale and the son of the original purchaser has posted it here on youtube. It's fascinating seeing how Roy did it. The title of the video on youtube is: "NEVER SEEN RARE Video Roy Rogers Showing how to Block Hat with Dusty Filming"

Tom Hirt, a hatmaker in Florence, Colorado made most of the hats in that movie, Tombstone.
