I really like how you did the sweatband. Just a nice leather strip with holes and a thick thread. That way you can sew the leather directly onto the felt, nice one!
@@soy_meraki Hi Meraki, for our sweatband we use a vegetabie tanned leather from a german tannery called John Rendenbach. The felts we use are made of rabbit hair or beaver hair or blends.
At leaast you aren't,"mad as a hatter." Early days they used mercury to treat the fur used in making felt hats in confined spaces and they would develope, "Hatter's Disease" from the mercury. It was mercury poisoning. I enjoyed the video!

Interesting. Still a bit mad even without mercury ;-)

@@ЄвгеніяЦебрієнко Hi there, the best is to use hot steam to get a felt hat back in shape. If you don't have a steamer you can help yourself by boiling water and hold the hat into the steam.
Exactamente work awesome .I have a heart that my father gave me it was a present but it's all mist up i wold love to get it fixed do you also do that tipe of work I can imagine you do

Dear Leon, thanks for your interest. Yes, sure we also refurbish older hats. You can visit us in our shop in Zurich.
Hi Ciara, Yes height of hatliner is around 4''. We always check that the lining is halfway below the sweatband. To be honest we can't remember the circumference of the hat block we used in this video. Best Regards, Oxblood Team
Nice video! Do you use any kind of felt stiffener on your hats or do they hold shape without it?
11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1
Hi Apostolos usually we buy quite stiff felts and if they are not stiff enough for our need we then add some shellac stiffener. Best regards, Oxblood Team
Awesome craftsmanship, I’ve always loved seeing how hatters go about their trade. Was the water you submerged the hat in at the beginning hot or at least somewhat warm? I saw another video where the water they used was so hot that the hat body came out steaming!

Thank you. Yes exactly, the hotter the water the easier it gets to work with the felt.
If you make a hat with a cardboard stiff brim, what do you use to make the brim extremely stiff?
2 ปีที่แล้ว +1
Dear Paka you can use stiffener from hat suppliers or you can buy shellac flakes and mix it with alcohol. The more flakes you use per liter the stiffener the felt will get.
What did you spray before fire? Do you have a list of all these tools to purchase or where to get them?
2 ปีที่แล้ว +2
Dear Amber, in the spray we use nearly pure Alcohol. If you are looking for hat making tools you can search on Etsy, there you will find for sure a few suppliers. Best regards from Zurich.
How do you cut the brim to size after flanging it? The video jumped from it being curled to flat and I was wondering if those are two different hats?
ปีที่แล้ว +2
Dear Parker, in the video you see the making of two different hats. One with a flat brim and one with an upturn brim. To cut the brim you need a rounding jack. You see the tool in the video after Min 2:08.
Looks great, is it 100% beaver? It looks very soft, and I didn't see you pounce the felt! Like the way you soaked it in water to make it more stretchable .
ปีที่แล้ว +2
Dear Javier, thanks. The felt in the movie is a beaver/rabbit blend and certain pouncing was already done by the felter.
Great! I know I might probably be asking for too much but I just have to ask Please it is possible to get the list of equipment for this felt hat Or/and a place I can order them Please I am from Nigeria

Hello, I have only one question. Do you use any glue for stif? I'm on beginning of my millinery road, im practising on the cheapest wool felt, im following youtube tutorials and i wonder if I use rabbit hair felt, hat will be stiff after steaming and waiting 2/3 days without use stiff products. Now after that 2 days hats still are soft.
2 ปีที่แล้ว +5
Dear Kamil, yes we mainly use rabbit hair felt. Only steaming won't make your felt any stiffer. To stiffen your felt you need to add felt stiffener either with a brush or with a spray. The more liquid you use the stiffener your felt will get. You can purchase felt stiffener directly or mix your own with shellac and alcohol. Best Regards, Oxblood Team

@ Thanks for the reply!
Hey what thread thickness/type did you use for handsewing the sweatband ?
Hi Ramzie, we use a very thick one, it's much easier to stick through the felt.
@ Thanks a lot! Something like 1mm I'm guessing ?
@@ramziblue1594Yes, that's correct.

Thank you. Yes exactly, the hotter the water the easier it gets to work with the felt.
I guess I’m just wondering how the liner stays on! Thank you for such a great video
Hi Johnny, if the fabric has a certain stiffness there is usually no stitching needed for our lining.

Amazing. I am just curious to know why dint you sand it or rabbit felt don't need no sanding ? As I am a beginner.
Dear Deen, yes of course you can sand your felt, that makes your hat even smoother. This step is not shown in the video.
What did you spray before fire? Do you have a list of all these tools to purchase or where to get them?
Dear Amber, in the spray we use nearly pure Alcohol. If you are looking for hat making tools you can search on Etsy, there you will find for sure a few suppliers. Best regards from Zurich.

Hi, thank you for such a great video! When you burn off the fibres, do you apply an alcohol based solution?
Hi ALIA, yes you can spray an alcohol based solution. The less water in it the better it burns. Best Regards, Oxblood Team
Great!

Or/and a place I can order them

Hi, great job🎉 is it pure ethyl alcohol or cologne sold in the market?
Shoulda kept the block inside, to trim off excess?
Hi Fred, yes in our opinion it is easier if the felt is still on the block.
If the hat is not a special order how do you figure the size? Do you make the sweatband and make the hat to fit it out vice a versa?
Dear Helen, we have a lot of different wooden hat blocks from size 54 cm up to size 65 cm, we fit the sweatband then to the size of the shaped felt.
How can I buy this hat, do you have international service?
Hi there, thanks a lot for your interest. Please check out our website or our online shop. You can also send an email to us then we can make a custom hat for you. Best regards, Oxblood Team
However, you’ve weakend the felt several times due to pulling from way afar. Edit: And superficially steaming won’t make it retain shape for as long.
Life long learning ;-)
Si el sombrero se moldea con vapor de agua, ¿qué sucedería si se moja con la lluvia?.
No veo que apliquen impermeabilizante o fijador.
Hi Sinobre, that's not a problem, as the felt can only be shaped with hot steam and water doesn't harm the felt.
Great job!! why do you set your hat on fire?
Dear Pauli you can set the felt on fire as this will tightening the fibres.

Hi there, with this pricess you can get rid of the excess fibres and smoothen the felt.
Did you apply any stiffener? Great hat!
Hi Mad Hatter, thanks. No for this hat we didn't apply any additional stiffener. The felt had already enough stiffness.
