How Celeb-Favorite Hatmaker Designs His $1,000 Hats - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Johnny Depp keeps this guy in business
Between him and daron malakian this guy must be a millionaire
johnny helps the Cocaine and rum industry too
@@damoos3. Probably the rum industry.
Amber probably helps the cocaine industry seeing how crazy she is.
@@twodollarking8009 she probably uses it all
Was thinking the same thing the whole video 👍
okay these are pretty amazing.
100% hype. apple
I see you every video i see
ok, this is epic
Moxie Beast... You're easily impressed. Obviously naive.
@@anobeseraccoon nah, you're both just generic low effort thinkers. 🤣
Your paying for labor, skill and quality of materials. It’s actually a really reasonable price considering it’s 100% handmade.
You can say that again. People don't get the start up cost for everything that goes into one item
Is it though
@@cindigoodridge6847 they are the same people who said good pencil and paper drawing for 50 USD is too expensive
@@MoridaFanadier I'm not sure who 'they' you refer to, but I do know that you can't make one of his hats in a day. When you add the labor cost plus all the other expenses, and not many people can do it I'd also be interested in making a proper profit. I gave up the fashion business because it was hard to make money
Sadly, the ones who gather those materials, process those threads, weave those hats, are not the ones being paid with premium.
He should be happy. He gets way more money than any hat maker of the past would've made and he also isn't going insane from mercury poisoning.
This comment should be the first on the list
Quiet
@@brucekimber .
The indian kids working unpaid overtime would dream about this
@@4holdings883 *any kids
WHY IS IT THAT EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THAT GUY ALL I CAN SEE IS HANNAH MONTANA'S DAD SDFKMBVBJSFGSDF
mar i OMFG SAME I KNEW I WASN’T THE ONLY ONE
They're both treats ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Now that you mention it... 😂
mar i OMG SAME
mar i lmaoooo me2 😂😂😂😂
the lesson of this video:
set stuff on fire, it makes it look expensive
So TF2?
Sooo when i set myself on fire, I'd be the richest person in the world?
Hannah Zhao from a simpletons prospective.
@@javiercastaneda2555 ...it was a joke
@@AV-ik2kb No. But the Surgeon you go to probably will be.
He's the perfect model for those style of hats
I loive in a town in France which had 16 felt hat factories in the 19th century. The amount of work and countless different steps are mind boggling!! It takes alot of skill to create these hats!!
His hats are in fact really really beautiful.....

@Ray Mak I see you everywhere
Yes

Hello
With all my TF2 experience, I can not disagree that setting hats on fire does make them more expensive.
And guess what. This Nick Fouquet guy is the son of Bernard Fouquet, the body and facial actor of William 'Bill' Overbeck of L4D1 fame!
Small digital world if you ask me. 🤣
“What makes these hats so expensive?”
It’s called luxury market, he makes the price high so he can sell it as a luxury item.
Hmm, interesting.
True,this guy says its a secret trade all you need is the tools,resources and TH-cam and a big ass price tag for the hats
Some rich people hobbies.
They truly are absurdly expensive materials they use but indeed he tacks on a ton. You can’t just open a hat shop, charge ridiculous prices, claim it’s a luxury item and become wildly successful. You’ve gotta actually have some unique and well done.
I bet you 100million dollars you can't recreate it its his job just because its a hat doesn't mean it shouldn't be a luxury now give me examples of luxury its
2:40 This hat is now worth over 100 keys now
More like 80 now
He must be the guy who makes the unusuals for Team Fortress 2
My whole wardrobe doesn't even cost 1000$...
it's like a shoe but for your head :)
xGiberish ma whole wardrobe costs -10$
but i can bet...you got style unlike these who just have money but no dressing sense
@@eerav_sam I like the way you think.
sorry but thats jus sad
"Yes I am the Mad Hatter, Because you gotta be pretty mad to start a Hat Business"
This Line Dude...Wow Respect
Him: the art of hat making is a secret trade
Insider: so this is how it’s done:
“It’s kind of a trade secret” here’s exactly how it’s done
Are you going to replicate it?
they don’t actually show the hat making process just a clip of shaping but felting cutting and detailing aren’t shown
@@princess4509 I agree. There’s 99% of the process unshown, as it should be. Let him share little bits of art information with clients as part of the experience of buying and owning the hat. The world doesn’t always need to know.
Of course it's expensive! Just what he pays alone for materials and equipment, and the time he puts into each one not to mention his artistic, classy talent for all he chooses and design. His hats are worth every dollar he charges.
It's not because of that, you are not just buying it for those materials, I could buy the Gucci materials for much less if I looked into it, It's just the brand itself has the reputation for being expensive (by being expensive in the first place) along with the fact that celebrities buy them as fashion statements which makes them wanted by the public. In a way, you are buying just to say that you have bought something expensive lol.
This could be the most naive comment I’ve read today...
He charges that much because jenners and basketball players buy them...not because of some whimsical artistic struggle.
Hell, I’d buy one....but it’s seems you’re almost better off getting a Stetson ....
Tbh wouldn’t be that expensive. It’s pricey because it’s Hollywood bourgeoisie
@@AutoSearPin Exactly
@@reuben8912 is Gucci hand made too? I don't know so I'm asking.
Also same could be same about phones. It costs apple nothing to make their phones yet they charge 1k for them. 1k for a stand.
These people seem like they actually take their time Making their hats. If I had the money I'd buy one. But im never spending that much on Gucci or apple.
NO WAY, THE 1,000$ UNUSUAL BURNING HAT
bro think he a Burning Flames Team Captain owner 😂😂
“Utmost quality” shows a woman making a bow out of burlap.
"it's a trade secret".. *shows a video detailing around 90% of the process.. 😄
@Man I'll Probably regret this woah bro just what i wanted to say 😂😂😂😂
@@neophoenix5281 lol
Man I'll Probably regret this ....this is the top comment of 2019....
Buy hat blank, steam , sand , fire ...$1000.00 please.
Lol, little more than that I guess.
Haaaaaa yeah just more b.s.
I can imagine Johnny Depp wearing that black hat. 🤔
This video is absolutely fascinating! It's incredible to see the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into designing these $1,000 hats. The hatmaker's passion and dedication to his art are truly inspiring. It’s no wonder these hats are favorites among celebrities. Thank you for giving us an inside look into this unique and luxurious world of hatmaking! 🎩✨
"...It's been really challenging, but it all spawns from passion."
Very inspirational.
Wow. This is amazing! I didn’t realize it was such an art.
I would LOVE to apprentice for this guy/ company. These are gorgeous looking hats. Another craft to learn has been added onto my list.
So much talent and hard work in these hats
Beautiful design, the material also looks awesome
Will buy for 58 keys and 89 ref.
4:37
Selling for 34 keys 8 ref 2 rec
Awesome! I love that “new but broken in” look!
The hats on fire like literally!🔥
Trying to watch him explain why the hat is so expensive was difficult and bullshit
Eman M he was just trying not to sound like an asshole. The truth is supply and demand, he has high demand and low supply so he can charge higher price. He also has high profile customers giving his brand prestige. That coupled with the things he said in the video makes it it so he can charge alot for his product. The real answer is because he can. But saying that in the video would make him look bad.
Its called capitalism
@Alexandra ortiz He only said 5 days because no one wants to hear that he can make 3 of these unique $1000 hats a day, makes you seem to cheap and too easy.
Wrong!! U just dumb lol
@Alexandra ortiz It may take 5 days calendar time, but the hours of actual work are not 40 hours by any stretch.
The thumbnail looks like a unusual from tf2.
Me name Jeff i know right?
So underrated
Omg Yes it does
Me name Jeff thats a Burning Flames Grimm Hatte
Yea he has a burning flames unususal
Amazing work! ❤️
My favorite hat maker of this century. Loveeeee his work.
" hot making is a secretive trade, not many people know how to make hats" video proceeds to show us step by step how hats are made
The Ribbon is a Inside Secret and most Production Hats are made with Machines not Hands. Most of Hat making is done with Steam and Tools. It takes Time to develop Craftsman Skills to make something as Laborious as these High Dollar Hats that's why they are custom made Hats.
I love when someone has skill, ability, and desire for these type things. Most people today just want it fast and cheap....they dont see the value in craftsmanship
I don't especially if it looks just as good as the "valuable one"
@@ShadNex which all of them do
keep wearing hanes underwear then you mooks. as you get older hopefully you’ll find an eye for quality goods
I love hats soooo dope to see the process of a well made hat.
Gorgeous Mad Hatter! The hats are nice too.
Buying for 70 keys.
Tf2 players be like:
I dont need it...
I dont need it.....
I NEEED IIIIT
I want to make a block and try my hand at it. I’ve reshaped and stiffened hats...but there’s something to making one that intrigues me. I can feel it when I watch hat making videos...the texture and tension.
I gotta try it.
Really cool skills!!! ❤️ hat lover for life. My new goal, is to own one of your fabulous Hats!
3 steps to make an item exquisite and expensive
1. Make the hat
2. Vandalize it.
3. Profit hehe
1000 is not that much for a luxury hat, but I ‘m saddened by the fact that people will pay that much for a hat that looks like it has been abused. There are many very good hat brands: Goorin Brothers, Stetson, Bailey, just to name a few, who have great hats for a good price and they are in pristine condition when purchased.
The distressing only mildly reduces the life span of the hat, and adds a vey personal, artistic effect. Just because its not classic doesn't make it not incredible.
Chiara D’Amore-Klaiman, then I’d like to see you afford some of those hats for yourself and see how good they are. If popular stars like that brand, it must be good.
Doodle_Noodle ThePoodle more like those “popular people” have no taste in actual fashion
Stetson is THE gold standard in American felt hats.
@@akonacorn3629 lmao they define fashion
2:40, when the Hat gains the TF2 Burning Flames Unusual Effect.
I would look really silly in one of those hats but it's awesome to see that he takes such pride in it not to mention how expensive that material is the price of the hats definitely worth it.
2:41 it's just a tf2 unusual hat
so tf2 unusual hats exist in real life
Brillant craftsmanship!
Beautiful hats. I love my Aussie Akubra. These hats have a similar flair ❤🦘
Nobody:
Thumbnail: You finally open an unusual hat
Team fortress 2 unusuals be like : 2:45
That's beaut! What he made is really piece of art.
At first I was in doubt, but then I saw the hat designs and was like okay and he's cute too.😍
Make the item scarse, make it look worn out, splash it with a fashion piece, have celebrities endorse it and put an exorbitant pricetag. That's how luxury brands are born.
Why dont you add the years of experience and mastery needed to leaen this craft, plus materials and equipments used.
It seems like you're just saying the negative things...
@@alexhami185 i did not say anything negative, i was simply emphasizing how luxury brands can and will put overpriced items to make the public crave for it. They are playing with the human desires of longing for something you can't have because it's too damn pricy or because it's a limited edition. People go crazy for that limited edition shoes and will pay way overpriced to have it but at the end of the day, the price of bringing that shoes to life is the same as any other shoes, you just paid for it more because you were convinced that it's superior than the other. It's a marketing strategy plain and simple.
@@jeshua09181987 Would gladly support & pay $1,000 for a quality, one of a kind, handcrafted piece by people who are passionate about their craft than $500-$1000 for a pair of “limited” sneakers that were made in a factory by gravely underpaid & workers who are taken advantage of in all the ways. Yes, people do go crazy for that overpriced pair of shoes and those are typically made in and by the above mentioned. But quality craftsmanship is exactly what it is and deserves a fair asking price. NOT Jordan’s that cost $200 and are made in 15 min for $17.00. I digress. Lol
What isn’t mentioned is their animal materials. I hope they’re ethically sourced.
I was gonna say *Jack Sparrow* really let himself go but he's looking good in this one.
Truly talented 💪🏽💯
Beautiful hats. I definitely want to learn how to make one
That isn't smoke... it's steam! Steam from the steamed ham- I uhh hats we're having. Mmmmmm.... steamed hats!
You know they are BSing you when they keep saying how high quality the materials are.
Most people just don't understand what goes into making these fine hats. Great video.
This is rlly cool damn, neat process. And looks rlly creative
Nice burning flames unusual.
Is asked "Why so expensive?" answers "because I can"
It's not, you are not just buying it for those materials, I could buy the Gucci materials for much less if I looked into it, It's just the brand itself has the reputation for being expensive (by being expensive in the first place) along with the fact that celebrities buy them as fashion statements which makes them wanted by the public. In a way, you are buying just to say that you have bought something expensive lol.
been wanting to pick up a Nick Fouquet hat!
hat making is so fascinating
Love these
My niece and nephew were visiting and they commented on how much the liked my faded torn jeans I told them I liked them better 10 years ago when the were dark blue and not ripped , the funny thing is I paid less than $15 for my jeans got lots and lots of use , they paid $100 for their jeans that were already worn out . I can't wait till rusted out beat down pickups become fashionable so I can trade mine in for a luxury suv , any takers?
steel loving you the already are in fashion. Start looking at the luxury suv you want
That was much cooler than I expected.
I bought a hat just like clint eastwoods hat in spencers back in 02’ still going strong to this day
I’m pretty sure Jason Mamoa has a couple of these. 😂
He looks like someone that would wear hats. Also, was expecting to see Johnny Depp wearing his hat
These hats gives me such good vibes.
Those are some fine hats. Love it.
How many keys for the flaming unusual?
110. backpack.tf/stats/Unusual/Texas%20Ten%20Gallon/Tradable/Craftable/13
Roses are red
These hats look cool
I'm here because of thumbnail
And so are you
Sorry kid but the whole purpose of the "roses are red violets are blue" is to make it rhyme to make it more amusing!
so that's why you're named a "CooL KiD" you can't even make a

Violets are blue,"

@@finncallahan8994 eyyy
Is Halloween mode still on?
Nah ended November 15
@Ekh0 hell yea
These are gorgeous. 🎈🕯
I would totally pay the price it looks very well-made
You know what, everyone should treat themselves to something nice and fancy like this every now and then, even if it means budgeting and saving. Because YOU DESERVE it
Top ten unusual hat in TF2
I'd really like one of those for myself!
I would love to one of Nick's hats!
I thought this was TF2 as well. I mean, the flaming hat and all.
lol the thumbnail had the unusual effect
I was looking for this comment.
Yeah.
thought it was a burning flames killer exclusive
It is amazing 😎
You cant put a price on quality. I love your hats !!!
I would commission him to do a full on army cavalry stetson and love to see his take/version on it.
2:42 Ladies and gentlemen, A real life unusual hat.
"We damage the hat so you don't have to....and charge you extra for it." Handmade excellence, and the man can't even comb his own hair. No thanks.
You comment well for a blind man
@@silverblue73 your blind. These hats aren’t anything special.
Damn I never thought I’d be so interested in hats now I want one like those in the video
Your hats are amazing ✌👍😇💛
Usually I disgrace Expensive and Luxury things, but this Craftsmanship and the Material and the Effort is just looks like pure worth of the Price
It’s funny how much he focuses on saying the time it makes to make one or how much the material costs. He really knows how to “justify” the price lol.
Its his business. Its a free market. If he wants to sell his hats for $10,000 and people will buy it, then more power to him.
@@chrisodom817 oh and there’s plenty of people who will pay it. I’m not hating on the business I just think it’s funny because a lot of celebrities and stuff will pay the price because of that bs 😂
If you want something custom, but still affordable, in the LA area, you should look out for Wellema Hat Co.
Wanting this hat.... enthrailling
