How It's Made - Watch Us Make A Cyclone Leather Cowboy Hat
We hope you enjoy this inside look on how we manufacture one of our leather hats. Today we are featuring the Cyclone Leather Cowboy Hat, it's available in Men's, Women's and Kids sizes and comes in a variety of colors. It is one of our longest running hat styles over the last 50 years we've been in business. It's a tried and true staple here at American Hat Makers.
Let's talk about the music, there have been a lot of comments about it so we thought we'd add a little update here. Yes, we'd love to just hear the asmr sounds of the machines and the shop. There is NO debate on our end. Unfortunately, when I was recording, there was music playing in the background like it does every day, so, it was an oversite. Due to copyright issues, we had to dub over the shop music with some KZread approved music, so here we are. Rookie move!!!! I recorded two other hats being made on the same day so y'all are going to see it again. Moving forward, lessons learned, and the radio will be off so you can enjoy all the natural sounds happening.

Manufacturing is good if it is not piece of work that takes the fun out of it if you can take your time and make a hell of a piece a lot of time that's great Jenn stuff out the door the quality is lessened

It's weird that I have a hat similar to this but its different, it's it's an outback hat made in Australia and the major difference is that it doesn't have a gus to it. What I like about the video is that you can reshape the hat with a little water on the underside. Very cool.

The only thing I dont understand is the side folds. If leather hats are usually for rain protection, the downsizing of the brim width will just prevent protecting your head.
It looks ozzy to me, a wider brim, and a taller crown would be more American style in shape in my opinion. Very nice looking hat, I'm sure the Ozzies will like it well, as will the small headed Americans. I love the color, and I hope you put a sweat guard in the front and back, side holes could be helpful for heat lose on hot days.
