I use a 3/8 wobble when I have to access tight spaces with a socket. 😂

Nice to see this repaired and not just thrown away but mostly it was nice to see the skills of a true professional at work.

This guy needs a KZread channel specifically for hat restoration and repair. I'd watch it.

Wow ur a bloody magician! You maintained just the right patina while the hat looks nice and fresh again. That's a 300$ piece now! And I love how chunky your sweatband is - will indeed provide some structural integrity as you said! Simply awesome job😎‼️

Excellent flow in the video. Taught very well. The speaking was very clear and concise with not a lot if rambling on. This young man defined what he was doing, how he was doing it and what he was using to achieve the goal. I enjoy the no-nonsense approach to learning from such wonderful artisans as this milliner. Thank you for being a super resource to help me as I work to restore customers hats.

hello , beautiful , meticulous work but i would have left the brim the same.........great job , great share . thank you , for sharing.........🥰🥰🥰🥰.....

I didn't know about how Rubbing Alcohol or denatured Alcohol helps restore Fur Felt. I'm sure that was expensive to do yet,it looks like a very cool Hat now. I can tell you love Hats,thank you!

Thank you for the update, Insider..!! Great work..!! 👍

Nice work. Great craftsmanship!!

“Pusher downer”! 😂 ❤

Wow, beautiful restoration. I’m sure the owner was thrilled!!

Now I’m kind of curious to know how the hole was formed. I would’ve asked for it to be mended.

Taking the hat off and on pulling in the crown tip wears a hole. Your supposed to use the brim and lift.

Nicely done . Thank you for your time

Where are you located I have some hat's I would like to get done

How do you stiffen a felt hat ? The brim is foppy . I want it flat..

Great job! That was awesome to watch.

Super cool! I love that old hat!

What a trade! You have a website to send hats?

The hat did have that Hill Billy charm though...Nice work bro.

Fantastic skills, great job 👍

Wow amazing work!

so the hole？

Does pulling on the brim like he does when putting the hat on the “head” damage the hat in any way

I wanted to know how the hole would be fixed but sadly....

Outstanding.

Great skill, great work!

Majestic!!

I was really liking the look of the (open crown) hat until he pinched the crown & created a tear drop and made it look like 99.999% of every other hat out there. I literally yell “NOOO” at the screen.

I rarely see anyone wear a Traditional Hat like this One in fact almost never cause most People are scared to be American Individuals anymore. Be brave and wear what you like!

Cost me around $50 to reblock and shape after a bull stomped it. Will need a sweatband next season amd for a better quality band it runs around $70. That's at my local hat shop

I would assume that most Hatters would want $250.00 for that Service especially for the amount of Time he spent on bringing it back to Life again. You gotta admit the Hatter did a fantastic job on it. It shines now!

Can a cracked up leather hat be fixed and restored?

Only clicked on this to message, I luv yr Foret accent

Very very nice good job

Damn I wanted to see the client’s reaction

a "pusher-downer" is what this jawn is called

Well done sir

Is that hole from a gun shot??

Heck yeah bloody awesome cheers

Owner took a headshot??

This was nice to watch but I felt like he trimmed off a little too much of the brim it looked very short to me. Also I thought he might stain the hat's felt to make it more lively

Neat video, but why wasn't the hole fixed?

I wonder, what was the story behind the hat? My imagination is all over the place.

He's a master in 3+ years? Ok great.

Cutting the brim in my opinion was super unnecessary

Black Excellence ✊🏽

nobody is talking about the bullet sized hole in the hat

I suddenly want a nice hat. Algorithm!!!

I never understood how you can get material clean without washing it, the years of dirt and sweat is impregnated throughout the material. When you wash your clothes in a washing machine you see how dirty the water is. When I send my suit to the dry cleaners and they say they just spot clean a suit I know that my sweat and dirt is not being removed. If there's something I don't understand please explain.

Hole HaT.

Where's this guy's accent from?

He sees the sweat band by hand?there are def machines for that. That's so much work, love a good craftsmanship though

Wants to maintain the character it gained over the years, 20 seconds later destroys all character it gain over the years... Nice one... Really nice.

Well, "character" is an abstract term that means different things to the eye of the beholder. The hat had obviously gone through a lot of abuse via negligence. It had probably been smushed in a closet or drawer for decades, and thus looked more like a lump of felt rather than anything like it's original form. The artisan and/or client obviously thought the the "character" of the hat was... the patina of the felt, the outer-band, and the hole (probably created by grabbing the hat by the crown; though I think I speak for everyone when I say we all hope it's actually from a bullet hole that just missed the head.) The lumpy shape it had gotten, from being stuffed wherever it was, was obviously not an important part of its character, and perhaps it might not even be possible to determine what shape it originally was. (Though usually the shape of the patina lets you know.) (UPDATE: The video synopsis says it was restored to its original shape.) I don't think him changing the shape is a big deal, because the thing about a good felt hat is that the shape is changeable. So the next generation that gets the hat can change the shape again. The thing that can't be changed however, was the brim size. Him cutting so much of that off was the only thing in his process that made me sad. But, it's not my hat. It belongs to the descendant of the original owner. And what is life about, if not reshaping what the past has given us into something that fits us?

What about the hole?

@jameskann951

That Hole took a long Time to happen plus it gives the Hat Character for sure. I would be proud to wear that Hat. Distressed Hats are very fashionable now too.

Loved it until the crown was shaped... now I just like it
