@@mentallifeconsultants5101 I make some of them. I made my own hat block, pullerdowner (the moon shaped thing to pull the hat down over the block), pencil curler, breaking tool (for pushing the string where the crown meets the brim), tolliker (for pushing the bottom of the crown into the formillion, I even made some replacement wedges for Art's antique formillion). Though I wasn't able to reproduce the his antique aluminum formillion for him. Most of these tools you can find online as various people make them, there's even a few people who make conformateur and formillion reproductions, the price is high, but good tools cost good money! good luck with your new hobby.

I just spent a half hour watching a guy make a hat. I couldn't let it go. The artistry of it all appealed to me as a professional artist myself. I own several fedoras, and a couple of derbies, (I won't even go into the cowboy hats here.) None so fine as this hat to be sure. Now I keep thinking of a sage green fedora I lusted for at the Optimo Hatworks in Bisbee AZ. I wanted it so bad, I'd have paid a chunk for it. Sadly it didn't fit and was one of a kind and not one that they made there. Still that place was my first class in good-hat school. This video was my second class. THANKS.

I must say this is the best soothing video, I have ever seen about the making of a hat. I didn’t know, so much detail went into the making of a hat. I have a new found respect for hat makers all over the USA. I must say there isn’t too many of these guys around, I hope this won’t be a lost art to other competitors like China. Just looking at so much machinery, wooden models of different shapes, steam machines, sewing machines, I mean this guy’s shop is huge, and so much dedication and labor intensive. I got to say, it takes a person with a talent such as this one to make such beautiful hats, ribbons, and all the details that go into the making of a hat. Not just anyone is as talented , and dedicated as this man is to be a lost art because dedication is a lost art. Next time, I buy a Stetson hat, I will look at it as an art of work and the dedication that was put into it. Great video, and sad he retired. He made great hats throughout his career, and hope, he passed on this art to someone else. 👍

I’m not sure that this will work but I have three questions and you may be able to answer one and Art the others. Why was denatured alcohol used during sanding, what oil is used on the felt, and is there any benefit to another application of that oil to one of his 100% beaver hats that is 10 years old? I have several 100% beaver fedoras and while all are great hats, the VS hat is the one I’m most likely to wear as it just feels and wears so well and does so after lots of wear. Thanks for the video and much thanks to Mr. Fawcett for letting you into his lair.

@JEDiTV

I found a thread over on “The Fedora Lounge” bulletin board, Art may be more like to answer over there rather than here (I’m not sure if he has a KZread account). I will answer what I can here... As I understand it (and he mentions this in the video but you might have to bump the volume up) the denatured alcohol helps push the core down. Again, he explains it better in the video than I can... The oil Art is using is Coconut Oil, again he says this in the video but the equipment is running and it’s a little hard to hear. He also mentions that some folks use Vaseline... I don’t know if reapplying that oil would be beneficial but, I am watching that thread on the Fedora Lounge so if you ask him I will learn too! 🤠 I prefer the fit of my Art Fawcett made Fedoras over most of my other hats as well. I really think it has a lot to do with that conformer. Jessica, as I mention in the video, has two Art Fawcett fedoras. She is not a “hat person” (like I am) but can wear these fedoras all day because of the fit. She says she actually forgets she has them on! They are so comfortable. I hope that answers your questions.

Yes sir. Last I spoke to him he was holding off on selling his home and moving because of the pandemic. But, his business is closed and he is enjoying retirement (and working on projects around his house). ~Jed 🤠

Nothing to it! Hope Art has some young apprentices to learn this skill/art.

Thanks for the comment. I know Art did train a couple of apprentices so it’ll be interesting to see where they take their craft. - 🤠

Can I get the same one in 7 1/2?

Perhaps on eBay 🤷‍♂️ You cold try a search for Art Fawcett hat or Vintage Silhouettes hat. But, Art retired a couple of years back so he no longer makes hats. -Jed 🤠

How much do you have cost to make one

Did you watch the video? I don’t make ‘em. And the guy that is in the video, making the hat, is retired. Good luck on your search. -Jed

Do you know if Art is fine? Unfortunately he stopped answering emails for long time :(

Art did have some health problems late in 2018. He has mostly recovered from those and is doing well. I was just in to see him last weekend. I’m gonna miss my visits with him when he retires and moves across the country.

@@JEDiTV Thank you Sir! It seems he already retired. I've sent multiple emails and have been waiting for weeks, but no answer :(

Nothing to it!

JED iTV You were lucky, you didn’t get the “if you watch” upcharge. If you help the upcharge is increased.

Sucks he doesn't show the knot making for the new generation.....

He may have passed it to his apprentice. And, I’m sure that any good hatter could reverse engineer it. He just didn’t want it on the video and I respected his request not to film it. -Jed 🤠
