How to pick a Stetson hat

CBS News' Jan Crawford spent time in New York City's oldest hat store, J.J. Hat Center, and learned how to pick the perfect Stetson hat.

[@realblindpenguin]

Just let the guy talk, damn it...

[@silverforever15]

I was about to say this

[@andrewmacedo9570]

I was just thinking that wtf

[@BB-xm6hy]

😭😭

[@justsomeasshole7388]

"Mansplaining"

[@rahulmehta3588]

So true .was irritating

[@Mark-iv7np]

Very nice gentleman. My dad was a clothing salesman for 46 years. It's not for everyone, I admire any good sales person. Sir, you do a great job and much success.

[@RjBenjamin353]

I was clothing salesman and I could take a guy who came in looking like a bum and he left looking like George Clooney.

[@ryaldeveau207]

This is not how to pick a hat, this is how the store guy picks hats for you.... i need a store like this.

[@aikidragonpiper71]

How can they talk about Stetson without mentioning their iconic Cowboy Hats ?

[@blondemommyvomit]

How could they do a story on JJ Hat Center and not show Kevin.

[@sharkfinbite]

Because they were pressed for time and he was more focused on finding a hat more suited to her head. The situation called for being selective on what kind of hats will have more info provided. they started with fedora so sadly the priority must be this hat in its back history, and even then it should be a brief abridged one. Not all of it will be provided. Don't expect a short skit on a news show to give an absolutely extensive educational course of all hats like it is a history channel. You ought to know this.

[@teakey]

jerszak KEVIN!!!!

[@teakey]

This is downtown Manhattan not too many cowboys are walking around

[@noble5856]

Nick Doszkewycz that’s because the classic cowboy hat wasn’t made yet

[@UnstoppableForceProductions]

jesus let the man speak

[@nvrlift-xj3dp]

Seriously tho

[@Bubbles99718]

That's what they do.

[@OdeeOz]

It's a reporter thing... 😂🍻

[@bunnyr4690]

I want a salesmen like that, for everything in my life

[@janicebourdage3567]

JJ Hats rock. I used to live nearby, having no idea of their famous reputation. Everyone in the store was so helpful, respectful, and kind!

[@cecilyerker]

I’ve never interrupted anyone this much in my entire life, this broad loves the sound of her own voice more than doing her actual job

[@priestof1]

guy can pick good hats for people

[@davidharrison6615]

If I lived in America I would own a dozen stetsons and would wear them all the time . such a cool hat !

[@FearTheBeardJP]

“I see what you did there! Now it looks like...a hat”

[@henkkman]

Embarrassing...

[@wwrite]

Wow this was great piece, nice to see something that wasn’t depressing on KZbin

[@keviiiboo7460]

The black one looked great on her

[@thebullyforge7096]

That guy needs a raise.

[@newjawn9004]

What an awesome store.

[@baronvonfrankenstein6295]

I would like very much if men’s hats made a come back. I have to wear them because of my dome is flat.

[@rikardlinden6800]

I wear hats Daily. and I see men wearing suits and hats more and More :)

[@Nantosuelta]

it would be cool if mens formal wear made a comeback. probably wont those because it doesn't go along with the feminist agenda of turning men into women.

[@noble5856]

DivinexDragoonxRising i’m in texas and wear boots everyday and when i need to have class I just throw on a blazer and it always looks good

[@DomP1989]

Where’s my dude Kevin at?

[@fitzofrage5292]

Do they realize Stetson was born in Texas? They do have a single form from the initial plant in Longview, yes, and then get shaped at finishing shops like he said, but he failed to mention that the "supplier" he was discussing is the original plant in Longview Texas.

[@LowPlainsDrifter60]

The first & original stetson factory was in Philidelphia. The company Stetson no longer exists but like Resistol & Dobbs (& many other brands) the hats are now made by Hatco in Garland, Texas. The Longview factory was built by Hatco in the 1950s which essentially made the raw hat bodies.

[@jimmycain8669]

I get my hats from Rand’s in Billings, Montana where they put an old antique apparatus on your head to measure for the hat they are going to make for you. I’ve been doing that since 1988. This store looks great for ready made hats.

[@bharatbhagwat]

Fedoras must really come back in style in a big way .... and stay in style.

[@leninlopez5733]

this man spitting such hard game you can tell he gets tail

[@LucidDreamer54321]

Cool. I will go there the next time I am in New York!

[@chupacabra5644]

Yep, she looks great in that last one!

[@gdn7]

2:09 "And the tear drop; self-explanatory..." "AwW! iT lOoKs LiKe A tEaR dRoP!" 😑😒

[@filipealmeida7301]

LMAO!!!!

[@EclecticoIconoclasta]

These dudes work in the 1940s. Cool.

[@JohnnyGuitaristOfficial]

Can't go wrong with a classic!

[@yungyosef]

the last one looked really good on her

[@Daehawk]

Think she could interrupt the guy more? Good Lord.

[@jimpatrick8021]

Maybe check out Texas Hatters in Lockhart Tx..So many famous customers SRV, LBJ, John Wayne, Hank Willaims Jr, Lonesome Dove, made right there to fit your Mellon.

[@Silver7481]

Pretty well done video, but we had a whole different approach to doing hats for Houston folks since 1915. I sold retail hats....way back... in Texas. Sam Like My Grandad. We were proud hatters.

[@Keepitoriginalministry]

I'm in Houston Texas. Where can I buy some fedora's?

[@antoniobotello4996]

Great report.....now I want a hat.

[@lydiaclibon118]

Yes report, and I'll have to buy a straw because I saw that they use animal to make their hats. Yes I'm one of those tree hugging hippie types.

[@alkasmi9055]

عظيم جدا ان اري هذا الإنتاج.... لانها رمز القوة والنوعية الممتازة

[@bevandron]

I’ve had my Stetson. Straw hat for over 30 years,it’s still just like new,durable,fashionable,hands looking.

[@diegolopez19]

“A pie filled with pork.” *Tries on hat.* YEA THIS AINT FOR ME RIGHT? 😂

[@lm2519]

that butterscotch was to die for. i hope she bought it.

[@diannaeast9621]

I looked at black velvet one. So nice.

[@Raduldo]

What is the price for these? Hate to buy just one, cause I kind of see myself picking a few in different color options, depending on the clothes.

[@shizzle1903]

I need to go to this store

[@ivanwolf3]

Terrible manners from this "REPORTER"

[@VelvetCzar]

Going there next week to get my first hat! 👍

[@obsidianjay8877]

bring at least $500.00

[@oiitzME1266]

I can't wait to get myself goodd suit with a stetson

[@markadams7597]

The best hat store on the planet is Paris Hats two blocks from the Alamo!

[@mrmanish1812]

Its always the convincing ability of the seller , i see the buyers takes the same tone as sellers so win for both if seller is being honest here , when it comes to comfort no difference, the brand is known for that

[@yaranov5214]

I love Stetson.

[@LouStoriale]

Well done.

[@SalkisRe]

I love the tear drop hat I'm ready for the Boss of the Plains though. The Stetson she tried was hot!

[@luistraffa2983]

Omg I got my first Stetson at jjs hat center too

[@OdeeOz]

Sadly, _The Hat Barn,_ where I go for my Stetson, and Resistol hats, has shut their doors. Going to be tough finding a good fit when it isn't local, let alone someplace to rebloc, and repair them.

[@9989Wolverine]

I'm from Fort Worth, Texas... I want a cowboy hat. My mom was all "people are gonna laugh at you and call you a drugstore cowboy"

[@rookiefreediver7522]

Elite Sniper F--- them then. Wear the hat.

[@rollastoney]

She's right but who cares honestly. It's about you bro.

[@meirsolomon5626]

The trick is that You wear the hat, don't let the HAT wear you. Put it on, exude confidence and be the BOSS you know you are. I have cowboy hats, fedoras, flat caps etc... The key is when you wear your hat, don't wear a "cowboy" shirt, cowboy boots, chaps, spurs, etc... Otherwise it makes it like you are wearing an "outfit" and not just wearing your hat like a boss.

[@theovee4321]

All hat..no cattle

[@1845Raven]

I want a cowboy hat also. I have no need for one though. Maybe a fedora as well? Possibly something else too??

[@nytom4info]

I have 2 of them... 30 years old... brand new in the box!

[@johnnysalter7072]

It won't happen at my age but if I were to go to N.Y. again I would defiantly go to this store.

[@danijelandroid]

First I thought the fist two hat don't look bad but when she wore the last three I had an 'ah' moment.

[@mchiefbailey]

Just tell me how "Maverick" packed 2 hats, three suit changings, and 4 pairs of boots in a pair of saddlebags.

[@Bazo_watches]

Very vintage T-shirt under his shirt !

[@classicdriprob4850]

I'm 27 And I Love Fedoras very classic style.

[@juanbotello1]

I bought one of those but in black. I love it. People compliment my hat a lot. Sadly I can only wear it in winter time here in Texas cause I sweat too much in summer time.

[@masterkamen371]

I think you'd very much appreciate a nice panama. They're light colored and somewhat airy with a bit wider brims so you really don't feel the heat on your head. Not to mention the toquilla straw can last for decades.

[@juanbotello1]

@@masterkamen371 please recommend me one. I’d like to get one for summer time.

[@brucew.5292]

She has lovely hair

[@spudypuddy7236]

I like the cap he wear really best

[@dragonlover2085]

She wears the porkpie the wrong way.

[@paulobtuble]

I love my Stetson Hats. My Favorite is The Temple.

[@snoopu2601]

I've worn those hats sence Jr high school to this day I'm 49 years old and have a few different styles over the year's not a HAT person but I told myself if I'm going to wear a HAT it's going to be a good one that stands out, NOT a baseball sport's hat like everyone wears. I have the Irish, paper boy style HAT'S to so when I go bald I have stylish HAT'S to wear.

[@davidharrison6615]

[@TheLifeandSadEnding]

[@Elim1974]

Does anyone knows what kind of Stetson cap the seller is wearing?

[@jonathancot]

Stetson call it Hatteras. I have a hat shop and it's one of most popular for the people.

[@RedDevil_Joe]

What it’s a flat cap

[@CundaliniWantsHisHandBack]

Every time I see someone pinch the crown of their hat, it drives me insane.

[@lionelspencer-ward3527]

How do you wash a stetson???

[@frequentlycynical642]

I live in Texas. I hate Texas. But I am always in awe of Western styles. For men, it says, "Alpha male." For women, well, jus' wanna know you baby. I call myself GFT. Genuine Faux Texan. I have a $6 Goodwill black felt hat, a high end Goodwill Western shirt, and a leather snap button leather Western vest I've owned many years. Add some Salvation army Wranglers, and $20 Goodwill boots, and I'm the Belle of the Ball. Male version. I've gone to Gruene (pronounced "green") hall in Gruene, Texas precovid. The oldest dance hall in TX. My age, early 70's. Women swarm me to dance with them. Five at one time. Twenty somethings flirting with me with their boyfriends standing along side. Yeah, life is good.

[@stetsonreynolds4328]

My name is Stetson

[@watcher321]

great

[@charliesierra6919]

They should have sent someone whom actually likes and wears hats.

[@gokos4765]

[@urbanrider771]

Actualy it was good on her.

[@TheBFN]

[@gloryafangideh4659]

How can I get this hat I like them

[@dwaipayandattaroy9801]

If you want to look English, then try that first ivory hat at 3:55 on the top rack

[@RedDevil_Joe]

Or the hat the guy is wearing, or the pork pie hat lol

[@paulobtuble]

Bernie Yutz hats has close after 80 years. Because an owner of building from New York did not renew their lease l. 80 years! It's Seattle only hat store that has been at the same spot for 80 year. Why would do that. It's Seattle's Iconic hat store. I past the store once week and it's just an empty space now.

[@josephelias7259]

What’s the guys hat called?

[@Hiker63]

Newsboy or similar

[@RedDevil_Joe]

A flat cap
