How One Hat Changed My Life

For the very first video of The Captured Project we are meeting up with a Grand Rapids, MI local, Pat, to talk about how he started his business Redbelly. Redbelly makes amazing custom hats, but also has big ambitions to grow into a lifestyle brand that can make their impact on the fast growing, trendy town of Grand Rapids. Its a great story of how a guy who wanted a better hat has turned that passion into a family business.

    I loved your video! I have an old straw hat that's been in my family for a while. I found a perfect turkey feather and tied it to a paracord.....it looks amazing and feels grand to wear. Hopefully I'll have the means to own one of your incredible hats one day. God bless.

    The story is about a family coming together and building something together. That all started with one hat that he decided to make, which did indeed change their lives. Maybe give it another watch 😉

    A milliner makes hats exclusively for woman. A hat maker makes hats for men. A hat maker can make men’s hats that women can wear, like cowboy hats. I applaud your efforts, but you really need an experienced hat maker to apprentice you.

    Great info about the vernacular! He does make an excellent hat though for a newer hat maker finding his own way!! 😊
