Making a Montana Peak Hat out of a Modern Cowboy Hat

[@Gunny426HemiPlymouth]

Just found your channel, from the squirrel hunt video. You have an awesome channel.

[@20thcenturyadventures]

Thanks! I have a list of video ideas that will keep me busy for years. Stay tuned, for sure!

[@robertbledsoe2547]

Very nice & informative video. As someone who enjoys old fashioned attire, and has a relatively large head, this could be very helpful for me. Most hats I find in 2nd hand stores are way too small for me. I also really appreciate that you showed how to do this with what most people would already have at home. (If you're going to have a felt hat or a nice hat, a hat block is a wise idea.) Thanks again. :)

Went and joined your Amalgamated group. What a blast! My dad built his first travel trailer in 1932. I've got tons of pix in storage. When I dig them up... :)

Thanks for sharing these tips for shaping hats. Do you add any ribbon, either grosgrain or chorded ribbon around the brim?

[@20thcenturyadventures]

You can add whatever you like. I don't usually put anything around the brim, as it is not really necessary with good felt. I do usually put something around the crown, however. Sometimes I use grosgrain, sometimes leather. Do it however you wish!

[@marktaylor8659]

Thanks. Yes, I meant the crown. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your quick response.@@20thcenturyadventures

I have reshaped a lot of hats, and never used hot water! If you take your hat to a hat shop for reshaping, I have never seen one that uses hot water! Steam from a boiling kettle will work best if you don't have a hat steamer! There is no need to damage your hat by soaking it!

[@20thcenturyadventures]

Interesting information. This is how I was taught and it's always worked well for me.

Love India video-bombing and stealing the show! The music accompanying the cat is purrrfect!

How would you recommend adding a hat band? I found a hat at Target that I've already changed and it just needs the band to look nicer lol

[@20thcenturyadventures]

Do you mean around the outside or the inside? For inside, very thin, preferably kid leather is ideal. Whipstitch where the crown and brim meet. For the outside, I would make a 1/2" wide leather "belt" with a single tine buckle or roller buckle to go around the outside.

Looks like park ranger or trooper hat lol campaign hats are different that’s for shure

[@alanmoberly64]

Montana Peak has become my favorite style. I find modern western hats to be boring.

[@20thcenturyadventures]

I wholeheartedly agree!
