Starting
with the finest hat bodies – 100% pure beaver – and
the block most suitable to your style and head shape, we
block the crown of the hat. |
Blocking
the crown of the hat. |
Steaming
the hat's crown allows the crown to mold to the block. |
|
|
|
After
the hat cools from the steaming its time to flange the brim. |
Making
the break line. |
A
sandbag press from the 1900s is used to finish.
This process is repeated until the desired result is achieved. |
|
|
|
We
move back to the crown and start the sanding. |
More
sanding & more sanding & ... |
The
hat is then ironed. |
|
|
|
| Next we cut the
brim to the desired width. |
We fit the sweatband to the hat… |
And sew sweatband in the hat. |
 |
 |
|
Then
the hat is then shaped to satisfy the customer.
|
When
the hat is complete, you have a work of art that you will
be proud to wear. |
