Thank you for the video. I know how time consuming it is to make a quality video. This is clear, well organized, informative, wonderfully edited, great tutorial, without being longer than necessary. If I may, one slight detail. "Access" - means the ability to or means of approaching or entering a place. "Excess" - means extra or more than necessary. This is only meant to help with future videos, and to improve already excellent content.
Great tutorial! Inspired AND motivated me! I searched the internet for a cute but not too girly and not too masculine n cap to no avail! I do have plenty of fabric that I now know what to do with! Thank you!
I followed this to make my first hat. A couple tips for anyone making one and a couple tips for the video creators (I know its an older video) for future If you're making this: 1) be sure to use a thicker material like canvas. If you use a lighter fabric like a full cotton, you'll want to thicken it up with a fusible liner or the whole thing will seem a bit flimsy. 2) don't use the double needle. Its not worth the time to set it up and most machines will be a hassle to make it work. I almost broke mine twice because my machine just simply wasn't tuned for a double needle set-up. Instead, just straight stitch one side and then the other. If you take your time, it looks much cleaner (and involves less switching set-ups) than using the double needle. 3) don't do the sweatband the way the show. Instead, sew the sweatband to your size strip/raw edge and then fold it over. This way it eliminates the outer stitching and gives a cleaner look. It gets harder at the brim, so if needed, you could do just the brim section as shown in the video. Stick with it. It was very frustrating at times but the final product is well worth it if you take your time and really get the fine details right. Tips for ProperFit: 1) this tutorial is ok, but its clear after watching other videos of yours that you take audio from other tutorials of yours and slap it on different footage and over time the overall quality of the tutorial tends to suffer because its not video specific and is harder to follow 2) get a few different camera angles, especially on complex parts like the brim. You rush through arguably the hardest part of the project and leave the viewer in the dust. Get some alternative camera angles and show the actual spot you should be stitching to avoid confusion, especially if you use generic audio voiceovers. 3) you don't need to be subtle about the fact that you run CapSupplyCo and act as if it's a different company that you bought from. You are that company, lean into it. People will appreciate the transparency and actually probably be more likely to buy from you. I was hesitant because the way you spoke about them as if you weren't the same actually sketched me out because of how similar you were. It just seems...odd. I appreciate the tutorial, it really was helpful, but just a couple tips for future so that you can make better content
I highly recommend Prym pliers for the eyelets. Easy use, high quality and pretty cheap considering how long they'll last. The pliers also come with a fitting that cuts the perfect size hole for the eyelet, and they can also install the whole range of snaps, eyelets, press studs and poppers.
I would put the strap a bit lower at the rear so it stays better on your head. Im looking into making one of these "Russian Gorka caps" in a bright nice fabric. I really like military clothing and satchels and backpacks. They are tested through time, and can take a beating too. I bought a lot of cheap bags to see which i liked the best and now i plan to recreate the bag in a bright color with a pattern. I already made a "veshmeshok", i really like the bag, it came out perfect! Greetings, Jeff
Great video! Thank you! Quick question? On a standard sewing machine, what needles are you using to go through that brim? Or on a brim that may be a little thicker? And what foot? Thanks! Excited to try this! Oh, and thread! 🙏🏼
If I wanted to make the hat a little smaller, could I just increase the seam allowance to about .5" instead of .25"? Have you ever tried cutting the outside edge of the brim down a bit? Thanks for a great tutorial.
Thank you for the video! I wanted to see if you can make some modifications. My son wears bilateral Ponto 3 hearing aids. These are supposed to secure onto a band that comes with the machines. He never could stand the band so I found a way to attach them to regular hats. I usually prefer trucker hats. I am looking for something with a trucker hat style like the one in this video but with the fabric of the hat coming down to the mastoideal bones behind the ears. The machines function best when on these bones. I would greatly appreciate your advise. My son is 3yo and has grown to love his hats. I just wish I could find one that gives him the best benefit from his hearing aids and are as awesome as he is. I usually have his personalized in some way but can never find one to fit right on the bones that are needed.
Great tutorial ! How do I adjust the panels to make the hat "deeper". I like my hats to fit old school 2000 style, so that the brim goes down to my eyebrows. I dont like when hats sit on top of my head. Thanks for the help !
When you're attaching the brim to the hat, are you sewing into the brim itself or along that same seam that encloses the brim - the seam that you did with the zipper foot?
Depends on the machine and your experience on what yours is capable of - but you could definitely go around the issue in some way. In the video it is no coincidence he went for the Singer Heavy Duty, but you will work it out on another with some creative thinking and patience.
Curious what the name of your seam guide is or if you have a link? I've only seen magnetic ones you need to pick up and adjust yourself - that turny adjuster looks super nifty
@properfitclothing is the capsupply co still up and running also where would you suggest a place that has leather and other materials for hat making..just your opinion bro
Can you/anyone tell me an average/approximate cost on making your own hat? I totally see the value in creating something of your own, but does this cost more than purchasing a hat (excluding the sewing machine which I already have). Thanks!! 😊

New subscriber here. Love your neat craft. 🤙🏼✂️
Thank you for this! I was finally able to find wholesale brim inserts
Don't suppose it was in the UK was it???
That is a wild sowing maschine
Thank you! I find it very enjoyable to watch :)
Hey, I loved! I have this machine at home and I can use now. In Brazil is very difficult to find videos like this. Thanks a lot! See u :d
Super amazing! You spent a lot of your time making just one hat. How much do you sell these for and still pay for supplies and your time?
Great video! Thank you! Quick question? On a standard sewing machine, what needles are you using to go through that brim? Or on a brim that may be a little thicker? And what foot? Thanks! Excited to try this! Oh, and thread! 🙏🏼
Access fabric is crazy 😂
If I wanted to make the hat a little smaller, could I just increase the seam allowance to about .5" instead of .25"? Have you ever tried cutting the outside edge of the brim down a bit? Thanks for a great tutorial.
🔥This Super Dope right here... I gotta make a hat now !!! lol

In my opinion, the best was to approach this would be to add fabric pieces to each side of the hat in the sweat band behind the ears.
do you have more detail on how to attach the brim to the hat? does it go over the size strip? where is the alignment?
What kind of needles did you use to sew on the brim?
please make a vedio about hat cap pattern
Please, do a patern tutorial. Thank you.
New subscriber! Love the video... keep them coming please!
Do you have a tutorial on how to make a New Era Type Hat
Great tutorial ! How do I adjust the panels to make the hat "deeper". I like my hats to fit old school 2000 style, so that the brim goes down to my eyebrows. I dont like when hats sit on top of my head. Thanks for the help !
I just cut apart a old goodwill that I like the fit to make
my own pattern
For the back arch, lets say you didnt want to use bias tape. Could you just cut out some denim in the same shape and use it? So its the same material.
yeah as long as you have taken care of the raw edges of the denim.
Hey champion... Great job... Congratulations to u
Nice hat Creation, 👍💐🤶👒
When you're attaching the brim to the hat, are you sewing into the brim itself or along that same seam that encloses the brim - the seam that you did with the zipper foot?
Looks like they're sewing right along it.
sorry if this is a dumb question but will a standard machine have trouble sewing threw the plastic brim material?
Depends on the machine and your experience on what yours is capable of - but you could definitely go around the issue in some way. In the video it is no coincidence he went for the Singer Heavy Duty, but you will work it out on another with some creative thinking and patience.
"this bit might be a little tricky" yeah fucken oath
What is that attachment that helps guide the edge when sewing on the side panels?
Great video!!! It’s excess not access 😭🤣
Bro Can You Put The Links Of Everything That’s In This Video To Get The Stuff From
What needle do you use to sew thru the brim plastic?
How do I find the industrial bias attachment? I can only find bias binding attachments not the flat one in this video?
Where can I find those vent buttons for the sides of the hat ?
Yooo bro what do u call that black cloth u put on front of the pannel
I have a very large head (61cm / 24in) - any tips on making the cap bigger?
Where can I buy the brim cardboard or plastic?
Easiest thing to do is cut it out an old hat
I did that before. But thought there was dome place to buy them new
And they come in my shapes and sizes
Question how would you make a hat like that but for a bigger head? I want to make my own hats
You're amazing bro
What is the model number from the singer machine?
You're the man!
Anyone know how to prevent seam puckering? Especially when connecting the side panels to the front/top panels
Would it help to use pinking sheers when cutting excess brim fabric?
Cool job, nice music
Why I am watching this? I dont even have those machines 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Curious what the name of your seam guide is or if you have a link? I've only seen magnetic ones you need to pick up and adjust yourself - that turny adjuster looks super nifty
Hello how are you? I would like the : "5-Panel Camp Cap Pattern" to be available in the store to buy and download

Great video!! What material is the brim made of?

Nice TSG hoodie
anyone know where to get a good quality 5 panel hat template? Their website says 'out of stock' and I haven't received and email back from them yet.
how many yards of fabric do you need to make a 5 panel baseball cap?
I recommend buying a yard. You can make it with .25 yards but it is nice to have extra incase you make a mistake :)
Thank you!
I'd love to see music credits...
Can you/anyone tell me an average/approximate cost on making your own hat? I totally see the value in creating something of your own, but does this cost more than purchasing a hat (excluding the sewing machine which I already have). Thanks!! 😊
I would say costs just around the same price as a $40 dollor hat. But it’s very time consuming
Where can I get a bias tape attachment like that for my Janome HD-5000

Anyone tell me what zipper foot this is?
