Satisfying Step-By-Step Custom Hat Making

[@theundomesticatedmom6440]

I’ve never wanted a hat so badly in my life

[@danitho]

Ikr!!!

[@patriciaingraldi4719]

Me too!!!

[@Artisancove]

I never wanted to Make a hat so badly!!😌

[@robsimpson3402]

A little bit of snot came out my nose.

[@PhillipStewart-k7f]

I know right ❤😊

[@johnheijdemann1312]

U are an artist. I really enjoyed this vid and your craftmanship.

[@LS-ti1rz]

Ahhh to see such an old process still being used to this day does my heart good. This is truly art! Some things should just never be left to all automation, this is one of those. So much pride and care goes into each of those hats. Sir I tip my hat to you. Godspeed...

[@queennjinga3748]

Yessssssssssssssssss... Took the words right out of my mouth... What is not broken does not ever need to be fixed.

[@DawnOldham]

I had NO idea how “hands on” hat making is! It takes quite a bit of upper body work to go through each step in the process! What an artist you are. The finished product brings to mind the way men used to dress on a daily basis!

[@True_Christian]

For the most part, *it isn't* any more though. Most modern hats that are sold in stores are mass-produced by machines, and their (non-existent)quality is absolute garbage. The guy in this video is a craftsman who makes them in the old and real way. But that is *not* common practice in our modern times. There are a few hatters like him still around, but not many. And high quality fedoras, like the one shown here, cost a fortune to buy, since they are so rare nowadays.

[@ИраОрлова-р1ь]

- федоры- это название формы? Да шляпа ,всем шляпам- шляпа! А цвет!.........УАО!😮

[@ph0t0sh0pmast3r]

I make custom hats the same way. It’s nice seeing so many others continuing this craft into this generation.

[@retropad2020]

Hello. Im really interested in this art. What type of felt are you using? And where do you get them?

[@normablake2748]

You, Sir, are an artisan. The person who wears one of your creations is a very fortunate one indeed. Keep doing you.

[@danielmartin7838]

I'm glad you're keeping this craft, this art alive. I want one now.

[@leboeuf05]

good to see talented people displaying their skills and craft. i couldnt be a hat maker tho...way too much ironing for my liking

[@darkknightlight]

Great craftsmanship is hard to find nowadays. When you find it you'll know it and appreciate it. Bravo 👏

[@gabi.garcez]

nothing more heartwarming than seeing people doing what they do, doing it well, and loving every minute of it!

[@lllBASlll]

When you come around to liking something, just because of the way it was made, you know the craftsman has done a great job.

[@donnakawana]

The whole thing from start to finish was beautiful to watch!! I just love to see a Craftsman work.... ✌🏻💗😊❣️

[@gargoyleking529]

The best 5:56 of my day! Truly enjoyed watching your skills at work... inspiring! Thank you!!! TK

[@evah8816]

That’s my hat guy! I absolutely love my custom hat. I get compliments on it whenever I wear it. Jacobs is a true artist and craftsman. Working with him to design my hat was a dream.

[@Black_Star23]

Never knew it took this much hardwork to make one hat. I now have a new appreciation for hats.

[@Myspace1986]

How is it this man is just making a simple hat and I'm beyond enthralled with it? Lol I could watch him hours!

[@JennyG.COW5]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! 😁❤️ I love that you're able to keep this legacy alive and well! 😊 👍🎩

[@THIRDeye1989]

Amazing! Thanks for keeping this art alive. It is simply beautiful.

[@KenjiYama68]

Beautiful hats, I am glad there are master hatmakers left in America.

[@john20johnny]

He explained it as it's so easy to make such a hat, but actually it takes years to reach to this level of skill. Just amazing man 🤠🤝👍

[@BigTex65]

From a custom felt cowboy hat guy I really appreciate these videos. It’s definitely an art.

[@itsHeatherKay]

An art form. Beautiful.

[@crimsonminerva]

Yes, ur awsome. Thanku for keeping this wonderful art alive.

[@mrman7453]

Just started wearing Grown Man hats. Purchased my first beaver this year .Nothing but compliments at every event

[@stabbityjoe7588]

[@redox_reaction_phox]

I've never seen this before. It's relaxing

[@spiritabundance222]

This was so fun to watch! Wow a visual treat!! And beautiful craftsmanship 😍.

[@chelacooley]

I would travel to Georgia just to support this amazing artist!!

[@Donnie-ys7vr]

Really love the whole process of it, i wish crafts like this will never be gone especially now that society seems to value efficiency more than creativity

[@theBoonarmies]

You know that would be the best damn hat you ever wore too. That dude KNOWS his craft.

[@ManuelRivera-pc4jb]

Amazing work sir. An artiste at his craft. I want me one o dem, ain’t playin’!!

[@Retrosigns1]

Great craftsmanship!! I hope America starts having more local small businesses that you can walk into and buy what you want instead of global internet purchases of overseas mass produced garbage

[@trblessed1020]

Love seeing how these are made

[@adiraodeda7962]

Love watching hats being made. Real art and craft. Beautiful 😍

[@silverprimateoverlord1014]

Old school hat making, love it.

[@lucylove8284]

❤ My hat's off to you! Excellent!

[@muskreality]

I'm obsessed with wide brim fedora hats, my region gets rain through out the year and my friends always get jealous of me walking in the pouring rain with my hat.

[@daleenalberts5829]

This is awesome. I just love the whole process. Thanks for sharing.🌻

[@wayneminor5559]

Absolutely fascinating craftsmanship and well produced video. The narration was top notch. Thank you for sharing Sir.

[@tal2862]

Wow, this is a really interesting craft.

[@lilia_spn]

Amazing!! you can feel the love behind the craft

[@randelllmalavida]

Wow!!! What a marvelous hat. However, what is the most intriguing aspect in this process is~ You!!! It is astonishing how young you are to have had such a vision and to make it a reality at such a young age. To have gained that knowledge of high fine quality and keep that attention to detail to produce an exquisite expression, inspired by your surroundings, to add that flavor and aesthetic that is uniquely Yours~ To me is a megalithic achievement. A testament of your creative genius, maturity of mind and your hand as a master craftsman. What's most astounding is that as a Young Black Man, in a world that dishearteningly makes it very difficult for Young People of Color to succeed, Your passion and drive to make your mark of excellence in this old craft... You, as a Young Black Man, are not an Artist~ You, like Your Hats are a Masterpiece Work of Art!!! The World must be proud of your success. I recognize this achievement to reach a level in this craft. At the first moment I can afford to, I will put in a request for a masterpiece from your work shop. I've previously purchased hats from Selentino's, however, I have my sights on your artistry, that I truly am in awe of. I will seek out more about you and figure out how to connect for Business. Keep up your awesome work as an Artist and never lose that great smile. Sincerely and Respectfully, Randy Chavez

[@adhynugroho9424]

You see these kinds of videos from Europe/East Asia. Traditional/hand made content like this seems so rare in the US. Refreshing!

[@ssmythe61]

Absolutely Fantastic!! I love this! Such a craft! ❤️🤩

[@sparkle4051]

Thank you for sharing your craft with everyone who is fortunate enough to watch this video. Fascinating!!!!

[@radhanair8761]

Wow great talent 👏👏👏. Proud of you. Lots of respect from India 🥰

[@ohh_manda]

Amazing! I want more videos like these.

[@dutchcowboy3665]

Wow, what a craftsmanship. This gentleman knows what he's doing. Howdy from the Netherlands. 🤠

[@anbs1682]

I am very blessed to have some fedoras. What a beautiful process!

[@notconvincedgranny6573]

I am in absolute awe.

[@AshishSharma-kg7zy]

Final product was just awesome 👍

[@patriciaingraldi4719]

I loved watching you work your magic. What beautiful artistry. Thank you. I want one now!!

[@amandacuellar6539]

Your work is lovely, beautiful hats

[@jacobquirk5919]

Major Payne would be proud!! Love it!!

[@nickthomas2643]

There's alot of labor involved in making custom Hats. They are absolutely perfect if the Hatmaker uses a Conformator to perfectly measures your Head. This Guy is pretty good!

[@thomasjustice1716]

Absolutely amazing video!! Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your art!!!

[@shemikawilliams4274]

That was DOPE! This ignited a flame long forgotten. Thank you

[@kayliathequeen9612]

This is such a beautiful process to watch. The firing! OMG!

[@nyebots]

Really dope... makes me wanna learn how to make hats...

[@MindfulMatters734]

Same. I love when I see something that makes me question if I could truly acquire a skill and love it.

[@arisamomoka2765]

Red would love this guy. Honestly there's just not enough scene on him dedicating his time for a new hat

[@HouseofMarlenaEtc]

Amazing craftsmanship Eldrick!

[@Tika927]

when I see craftsmanship like this I always hope they’ll be able to succeed and stay open… so much so that even though I hate the look of hats on me I was watching this really trying to find a reason to buy one 😂

[@Mr6wolfdog]

I have made felt before from camel, rabbit, dog hair, etc. I never used fire.:) It was a lot of work, but very rewarding. The finished product was so beautiful. Your hats are so gorgeous! Great Job! I wish I had kept a piece I made! Peace to You!

[@edwardbremer6322]

Thats badass! Love to see people with craftsman skills!

[@Vaarkp]

Wow that was so cool!!!

[@dragonflysdiscoveries7567]

What an amazing skill you have Eldrick. I honestly wish I could learn something like that. Amazing

[@discovertheninthplanet6977]

You are a magician and this is a hat trick ❤️

[@kevinmoriarty6642]

Like your style, great to see the tradition of hat making continued.

[@i.love.country.music112]

They used similar techniques for my cowboy hat. Like the press and the fitting.

[@youlikedyourowncomment5151]

I dont have enough style to pull off one of those hats

[@nattybushdoctor9021]

yes you do. look back in history, these hats were worn by farmers working in the fields with overalls and boots. Blue jeans and a T shirt is all you need my friend. Peace!

[@JarlErikStoresund]

Satisfying to watch. God damn you can wear a hat 👏

[@leacipurr]

Dude is rocking the hat look.

[@lauraschulz5153]

Beautiful work

[@lydiamalone1859]

I love this! A lost art. You are a craftsman.

[@ricalovesjesus]

This was so satisfying to watch. You created an amazing piece of art ❣️

[@TexasBeekeeper]

Absolutely beautiful my friend! If you don't already, you are going to have some awesome stories to tell in several years. I'm sure there will be some well known people coming to buy your product. I'd love to make my own hat, but wanted to check and see if you could point me into a place to source the materials? (fur felt, hat blocks, tools, etc.) Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Keep at it, what you're doing is awesome!

[@kirbed9486]

This is how we make hats! *lights hat on fire*

[@coltonmundt4042]

Incredible craftsmanship

[@1sontrell]

[@cristinag.7420]

Thats such artizan skill. It make you dream to have one!

[@WendyInCollingwood]

🙌 Outstanding Craftsmanship 👏

[@stevepicchi8986]

With so many things we purchase being mass produced in foreign countries, it is so refreshing to see high quality products handcrafted here in the U.S.A

[@True_Christian]

You are right, but do you know much a hat like that costs? Over $600 USD at minimum, and it could easily go over $1000 USD too. So the handcrafting comes at a very high price. It's still worth it though.
