Shudde Brothers Hats (Texas Country Reporter)

[@albertdale5101]

I recently took possession of my granddad's Shudde Bros. hat he perhaps bought in the 40s or 50s. Thankfully the original box was kept to store the hat all these years! I brushed it thoroughly and it looks really nice...Thanks to the Shudde Bros. for this wonderful heirloom that is still looking good!

God Bless Texas in this man who is doing his work.

[@betonarchese]

As a hat maker, this really made me happy to see what he has done. It's a dying art.

[@Tupelo_Honey77]

Where can I find a cool ladies hat

[@glorygracek.1841]

You are very fortunate indeed. I would live to be able to do this type of work! I love cowboy hats, but I live in northern Indiana and I would be a little to sticking out being a girl and only a occasionally do you see a guy with a hat. Born Californian from Grandparents from MO, AR AND OK area's that migrated during the depression/WW2 era. My Mom's Dad being a cowboy/horse trader......or anything else trader. He raised my Mama on a horse in her boots, hat and double 6 shooter cap guns WITH holsters. She passed all that western love to us girls. I have always long for a Roy Rogers style hat, but you just can't find a hat like that. I found a KZbin video of Roy actually showing how he shaped his own hats at home, but I know I couldn't do it. I wouldn't want to risk a hat to do it. A couple years ago I became a proud owner of my first hat. It was on sale and it is a cheaper Americana (I think that is the name I would have to go look, I may try to edit this later) Straw hat. I hope someday to afford a good hat and get the guts to wear it around in town. I hope you continue on with your work and pass in the knowledge and skill and hopefully my generation, who I don't claim to be apart of, with snap out of all this crazy stuff and get back to the good and the moral things.

[@riccardobravi9754]

I respect you, sir

[@AcidArt362]

You can't help but love this man and his family tradition...

[@lisamartinez6899]

Love the hats , the history, but even more the help you find in those that need to offer something to society

[@addisonestes1219]

I think I get your point here. And believe it’s good intentions. But people with disabilities don’t “need” to offer anything to society. Unless they want to. But that comes from them, not society.

[@liquidmidnight1]

Neal, your story brought tears of joy to my eyes. Regards

[@Civilwarpiper]

What an amazing story...May Jesus Bless you! I want one of those hats 😀

[@patrickprior4393]

This was awesome to watch! I was a counselor for many years working with people that have developmental disabilities. Always great to see stories like these .thank you!

[@uniwalker947]

What a blessing is this man...to his family, to his community and to his God..

[@charlescharles6239]

Sir you truly are an amazing person and a true hero thanks for all you have done for those amazing and Great people sadly left behind THANKS FROM ALL OF AMERICA

[@MrDmartinezjr]

GOD bless this man. You and your family will be in my prayers

🏆🏆🏆👍🙏🇨🇱 Thank you for sharing

[@harrisonmantooth3647]

I love hats!!! Back in my early childhood, I wore Cowboy hats and then, I transitioned to Baseball type hats but, over the years I've developed skin cancers on my face and forearms. Upon the recommendation of my Dermatologist, I've gone back to Cowboy hats and Fedoras. I'd love to have a custom made hat from Shudde Brothers Hat Shop. Thanks Bob and Kelli for sharing another wonderful and informative video. Stan

[@DomP1989]

I have a Shudde Bros hat and he’s working on another of mine. He’s a great man!

[@marktaylor8659]

I have two cowboy hats I purchased from Shudde Bros. in the 90s and they restored a fedora that belonged to my grandfather in the 50s. That was back when they were still located near downtown Houston. Neal helped me on all three occasions and his patience, attention to detail, and offering a quality product were top notch. I would highly recommend his shop when wanting a hat.

[@AcidArt362]

I feel this man's love...i as well have a special adult son...who has creative skills ...both learned from myself and his own intuitive creative soul.

[@cmjGemara]

That's wonderful God bless you.. God bless all the people

TEXAS WESTERN INFORMATION 247 MUCH FROM TEXANS GRATITUDE 🙏 🇺🇸 🙏

[@LuisPerez-gz5ci]

Gotta love your fellow Texans that give back to their community

[@debbietaylor3638]

Thank you so much for this story. Made me remember all the Schude Bros. hats my dad had. I love the ending. What a perfect legacy.

[@joehancock2735]

In the 60’s I worked in a men’s store in Orange and the owner sent out all the Stetson hats that customers brought in to Studde in Houston. Some of those hats were dirty, stained and didn’t even have a hatband. I though they should have been just thrown away as nobody could restore that ole hat. When the hat came back, it would look brand new without any stains, a new headliner and new material in the top. Great job, Studde!

[@radioman5688]

So could I send mine down there and they would restore it and this time 2021??

[@stormyweather9054]

Dad usta send his felt hats to them in the spring & they came back in the fall looking brand new . Still got 2 of them - must be 50 years old now & look amazing ....

[@olironrider8918]

Sometimes... you just wanna cry. Blessings...

[@bosse641]

Awesome.

[@j.d.peppmeier9041]

A guy or gal would be proud to own one of those hats !

[@j.d.peppmeier9041]

@country boy If it doesn't have air holes I have them put in..that's eay

[@glorygracek.1841]

I wish I could do that for a living! He is so blessed to have a family business! I hope they are here for eternity!

[@williamgates5652]

No better place to take hat for rehab than Shudde Bros! Always with a warm smile and patience in buckets.

[@kraaidievoel]

Thanks for making me smile Great story great reporting

[@MrArqferri]

Very very nice, well done!!! Congratulations from Argentina. God bless good people all over the world. The world is our home!

[@guap3390]

VERY pleased to know that crease(which I love) is more than simply a style out of a TV show. The show was great of course but the style is actually real!...thanks for that!!

[@inspireaspire278]

Thank you for showing me , TEXAS.

[@broj1327]

Thanks so much for sharing!

[@franklinjackson3637]

I wish I'd have loved any profession as much

[@AlbertMoyerJr]

Did the Shudde family used to have a hat company off Washington Ave. near downtown Houston?

[@mariannejones7172]

yes

[@AlbertMoyerJr]

@@mariannejones7172 I used to go as a child with my dad. My dad always said they made the best hats. Thanks for answering my question.

[@1mldn545]

1:10 for i like a teardrop pinchfront crown but i still stick to the cattleman brim so i try to do a mix of blending in and standing out. Most people wear cattleman hats so that blends me in and the crown makes me stand out. I love the look of teardrop crowns and their comfortable on my head thats why i wear them.

[@gimmigota1]

Beautiful video.

[@brwhyon]

Nice, I'll keep my Akubra, for now, you're next on my list of hatters.

[@blackquiver]

Cool lids

[@abaachi13]

Wonderful.....

[@blueskeleton7744]

Now that I've seen this video, I honor to wear my Stetson hat (open road in caribou grey) for this hat maker and for those that put their heart n soul into their work and lifestyle. Amen.

[@radioman5688]

[@texaswader]

[@artistaprimus7080]

A hat is a statement of confidence and individuality Some men wear it well, while others just look silly.

[@LadyPictureShow72]

Blessings

[@mariomendoza7671]

A must go to place

[@andrewtestin9080]

Super cool!

[@leroykevin]

I've bought quite a few hats from here

[@eeveebon9011]

How would I measure to get size for my head

[@udp1073]

As an Italian that has been adopted by Texas I have never bought a Cowboy hat.. just let me sort out a few things and this will change.. and I know where it will happen.. oh yes. God bless y'all

[@kenfromnj6929]

Ordered a hat. Thinking about contacting because the other one I liked did not come in my big head size

[@Tdaltbo]

Can I purchase a hat like the one you’re wearing and have it shaped the same way?

[@AmundOttermo]

Thought the man in the thumbnail was Randy Travis

[@eddycoronado8381]

👍😊

[@cristianjimenez1000]

Never

[@CinemaSasquatch]

Amen

[@johnhoward7298]

I truly am sorry there's no Aire Apparent for Your company !!!! I think You've done something VERY admirable by donating Your shop !!!! How can I go about ordering a hat on line ?

[@lensperspective9753]

I brought the palm hat back in style, living in vegas and working everywhere and the general public I know for a fact people see my shit and bring it home

[@BrianGLee-bc7hj]
