How It's Made - Watch Us Make A Cyclone Leather Cowboy Hat
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ต.ค. 2022
- We hope you enjoy this inside look on how we manufacture one of our leather hats. Today we are featuring the Cyclone Leather Cowboy Hat, it's available in Men's, Women's and Kids sizes and comes in a variety of colors. It is one of our longest running hat styles over the last 50 years we've been in business. It's a tried and true staple here at American Hat Makers.
Let's talk about the music, there have been a lot of comments about it so we thought we'd add a little update here. Yes, we'd love to just hear the asmr sounds of the machines and the shop. There is NO debate on our end. Unfortunately, when I was recording, there was music playing in the background like it does every day, so, it was an oversite. Due to copyright issues, we had to dub over the shop music with some TH-cam approved music, so here we are. Rookie move!!!! I recorded two other hats being made on the same day so y'all are going to see it again. Moving forward, lessons learned, and the radio will be off so you can enjoy all the natural sounds happening.

ever since my first manufacturing job in 1992, I've been fascinated with the manufacturing process of many things. This was very enjoyable.
yay, happy to hear you enjoyed this
Just remember son; FJB 🫵🏽
Клас!
@@AmericanHatMakers can I ask what's the glue an equipment you use to make the hats like the sewing machine that was sewing the machine to the hat to the side
Manufacturing is good if it is not piece of work that takes the fun out of it if you can take your time and make a hell of a piece a lot of time that's great Jenn stuff out the door the quality is lessened
Very impressive to see… how much handwork is involved in making the hat… nice work…
Thanks for this video.
🌜🌞🌛
From start to finish. At the beginning by choosing the leather to the end and shipping it out 🙌
Beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing it. God's Love and Blessings!
Thank you for watching
سلام
It's nice to see certain things are still made by hand.
🙌
With so many machines in the production process, you have no way to say that it is made by hand, only if you want to deceive the public
@@leatheraccessories646 With anything one does, one has to use tools. Those machines are tools just like a carpenter whether he uses his good old hammer or the new battery operated hammers. Products/goods produced by machines with no or little human intervention would not be considered hand made.
@@Errr717but handmade is different thing. Those tools always produce the same result and give no place to adjustments. Do not mix industry and artisan goods please.
Thanks for showing us how one of your hats is made. Really impressive and beautiful workmanship on show!
Thank you for watching.
I own 4 hats from American hat makers. Excellent quality. Well worth the money. I have one that's over 10 years old and still being worn.
what hats do you have? we appriciate your continued support.
@@AmericanHatMakers I've got two of the bison leather packables, I had the brown/copper packable. A cabana straw hat. And an old felt outback style hat.
@@abubaca2683 Nice collection
@@AmericanHatMakers the bison leather is my favorite. I have one that's a daily wear and considerably worn and the other is my going to church hat 🤠
@@abubaca2683 That bison leather is dreamy. We use to carry an outback style like the Bison Hat, in kangaroo leather....oh my heavens, it is by far my (yauni's) favorite leather. Unfortunately, california banned the import of it. Booooo.
Yeah, I agree with you. Uncreased and flat brim is the way to go.
Appreciate the input
Excellent video, I enjoy watching great craftsmanship 👍🏻
thank you so much
I tip my American Hat Makers fedora to your amazing hat makers! I own a couple of your hats and love them. This video shows why they are so special!!!
Thanks Steve 🙌
Oh snap I have one of these thats atleast 70 years old. Amazing hats . Like absolutely worth investment, you will never need another hat, nor will your kids
🙌 that's awesome
Wow! Cowboy hat is really cool. It's like coming back to the Wild West.
we can see the tumbleweed rolling across the dirt road in a small town, while two guys are getting ready for a duel. 😄
Same brand I've had since the mid 1990's. Made much like that and a darker brown more suede leather. Favorite hat especially for wet or cold weather. Just keep it waterproof.
That's awesome
Fantastic.
🙌
Unbelievable craftsmanship and what a beautiful product.
Thank you
Thank you for the video, when the brim was flat and the crown uncreased... perfect.
My volume was turned off when I watched your video, I have no complaints.
Haha, thanks for not complaining about the sound The flat brim has been pretty popular style. I'm going to try and convince my brother to make a run of them un shaped. We do have a similar style already in our outback collection americanhatmakers.com/collections/australian-outback-hats/gender:Men's
A very Beautiful craftsmen.
I love watching it.
Keep up the Good work.
We appriciate you taking a look
This is well worth the asking price. A beautiful, durable hat. Now to convince my wife that I need this (I have several Stetsons and working type cowboy hats).
Do you want us to send her an email? 😆
Beautiful hat.
Thank you!
Bought a hat looks great now I know how its was made it was enjoyable watching the workers make the hat. very well-made.
Thank you, we appriciate your feedback!
these folks are REALLY good at what they do
Awe, thank you.
WOW, I am someone who doesn't like to wear hats unless I am going on a long hike but that hat makes me want to get one and wear it all the time.
This one is so comfortable. What do you wear when you hike?
@@AmericanHatMakers it's a hat with a lot of breathability looks like that hat but it has mesh along the top sides and the top is solid as is the brim, that way there is a venturi effect so as I am walking or a light breeze comes along I feel a lot cooler.
Good equipment and gifted skillful hands. Great combination. Nice work
Thank you for watching
I have worn broad brimmed hats for more than 50 years, felt, leather and wire rimmed leather and without doubt the best is rabbit felt Akubra hats from Australia. Would not even bother trying another leather hat. But they're great for urban cowboys.
Australia absolutely makes some great hats, don't count us out. We've been making hats for over 50 years ourselves and everyone has their own style on how they do things. We aren't AUS, we're AHM
I have been wearing good hats all my adult life, I'm in my 70s now. No baseball caps here. I have more than 20 hats and my Akubras are my favorites.
Muy hermoso trabajo los felicito
Beautiful!
🥰
Все так просто и так красиво! Браво!
Большое спасибо за просмотр
Wonderfull job!!! ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching
That hat has been made by a very experienced leather cowboy manufacturer. Very beautiful job you are very talented. Completely
handmade with a man with a good eye. Thanks for showing your talent. I love to ware western hats. Very beautiful custom made hat.
after 50 years, we are still learning and growing
Amazing job!!!!
Thank you Susie
Great looking hat
Thank you
Beautiful hat..thank you for showing how it was made 😊
You're welcome, thank you for taking the time and watching it.
That is so awesome. Definitely hit the like button.
Thank you🙌
Excellent Craftsmanship. Impressive work. Music added 0.
I know 😣 we had music playing in the shop and had to cover it so we didn't get dinged for copywright issues
I tip my Breeze to you. These are fantastic hats and backed by a super great company...
Awe, the Breeze...great hat!
Hi from Scotland, I have had one off your hats for years now it's a bit worn now but I have looked after it and love wearing it seeing how you make them in your video was fantastic to watch I hope you keep making them for a long time to come ,and at this time of the year seasons greetings to everyone.
Thank you for your awesome comment. Season Greeting to you as well.
Hello from Canada! I have this exact same hat but in black! It is my absolute favorite cowboy hat. It is so unbelievably comfortable to wear, and looks so sharp. Thank you guys so much for making such beautiful hats.
Thank you for your comment. If you're on Instagram, tag us in a post so we can see you in your hat.
Excellent work 🙏
We apricate you watching
I’m thrilled to see that some things are still manufactured in the USA!

Would go great in the Aussie sun. As a Gardner this would be ideal
Gotta keep that sun off your neck and face while gardening
Very skilled craftsmen
thank you
Perfeito magnífico
Nicely done
thank you
hopefully my Cyclone will be delivered today! :)
What color did you go with?
@@AmericanHatMakers Burnt Honey
@@perkins9792 Great choice! One of my favorite colors - Yauni
@@AmericanHatMakers Yauni - got it today and love it ....... great looks and fit.
@@perkins9792 Yay!!! If you have IG, we'd love to see it on you. You can tag or send us a pic/video and we will highlight you on our story.
I got a hat from you guys for Christmas and it’s great!!
Awesome, Santa was good to you 😃
Nice
Espectacular 👌👌👌
Y tu
To each his/her own
Einfach toll, ein wunderschöner Hut, schade das es den in Deutschland nicht gibt. Hier sieht man das mit Leidenschaft produziert wird. 👍👍👍
Kennen Sie ein Geschäft, das unsere Hüte im Großhandel kauft, damit Sie sie dort bekommen können?
Pretty nice, I wonder if they do one with kiwi stockman form. Same hat but minus the pinch at the end and flat brim.
It's weird that I have a hat similar to this but its different, it's it's an outback hat made in Australia and the major difference is that it doesn't have a gus to it. What I like about the video is that you can reshape the hat with a little water on the underside. Very cool.
Australia for beer!
Like your name. Australia makes some great hats.
@@AmericanHatMakers wait.... was it only water! 😯 wow!
I miss seeing you guys at the Denver WESA Show since they moved to Dallas. I always enjoyed helping you out, and I miss getting a hat from y’all every year. Cheers!
We miss Denver too. Are you ever going to go to the Dallas show?
@@AmericanHatMakers only if Amy needs me to help with something, and she doesn’t even bring her husband Jeff.
Very nice
Bravo !
🙌
Wao! Too beautiful..
🙌
Bravo 👍 Amazing ❤️
💞
This was truly a work of art. I have had a fascination with hats since a wee one. I would love to have one of these. 👍🏻
Can't wait to see what hat you get
They look great. Please make more in men's size small. I hardly ever see any when I look at hats. Either they sell out or don't order many.
I even had to use a size reducer kit in order to wear the size small I recently bought.
Which hat did you recently get?
Beautiful hat imo
one of our favorites
A new challenge DePoppeLeatherworks

Very nice! That's real piece of art what I need to have complete credibility with my little pets prairie dog family.
Very nice hat
Thank you, we love the Cyclone
ASMR???
Beautiful hat!🙏
I know, we had music playing in the background and becuse of copywrite issues, we had to cover it with this music....total fail.
Молодці, дуже круто виглядає!!!
Me encantaría tener uno de esos hermoso sombrero
eso seria bueno
Just ordered my Cyclone in Firewater color...Expecting in 2 days!!
OMG the Firewater is a beautiful color, let us know how you like it.Thank you for your support!!!
Nice hats for cold regions but too hot and thick if warm summers...Nice job indeed 👍
Wtf is a cowboy hat going to do in the cold
Some people are used to it, we have plenty of other lightweight and breathable hats for hotter weather.
@@yossarian00 ...😄 The shape here isn't important, important is to have the head warm...😉👍
Funny you say that, I live in a semi-arid / desert climate (it's currently 104°F) and I have no issues wearing a BLACK American Hatmakers hat. In fact I'm wearing it out on the porch, smoking a cigar, and drinking bourbon as I type this.
Congratulations!!🙏🙏🇧🇷🇧🇷
🙌
สวยงาม
Beautiful hat
🥰
الصناعة ورقي والحب مجتمعان يساوي أبداع
the one i saw uses steam to form the hat. now that was incredible.
🙌
@American Hat Makers - I actually have you bookmarked on my web browser right on the tab and now you show up in TH-cam...hoping to buy one of your hats in the near future so this will be fun to watch how they're made. (and personally, im looking at the Boondock Hat, that looks like a good compromise between a cowboy hat and a fedora).
But man, shouldnt all your employees be wearing your hats ;)
great choice and thank you for watching our video
I have a ladies summer hat with the vented area above the brim. I’ve often wanted a full leather one.
We have lots of leather hats 😃
👍👍👍
🙌
Mis mayores felicitaciones a esta empresa por generar empleos
Nacionales e internacionales, este producto es una obra de arte, o bien un producto artesanal donde la mano de obra es lo máximo
Gracias
I missed my calling in life. I started out in the work world in manufacturing things and then went into desk work. But there is really nothing more satisfying than putting something together and seeing it take shape in your hands and completing it and being proud of your work. These workers are amazing.
It's NEVER too late, get started on your passion!
Excellent video. Impressive editing also. Questions: How many people (total) touch this hat in its manufacture. Just curious. Water soluble contact cement around the band is a nice touch. Plus all the binding tape at the seams. Great! And, I am guessing that bottle at the end is Bick 4? Love that to condition leather. Again, thanks.
great question, this hat hit 22 stations (some people touched it more than once) and this doesn't include packing, shipping and tanning (this process is done before we get it). Yes, that was a bottle of Bick 4 👍
@@AmericanHatMakers I watched video on how one of my hats was made. (a flat cap) Big company in Poland. I was simply amazed at how much we think is mechanized is still done by hand. Love it.
@@bbrachman that sounds like a great video!
American hat makers, what an ironic name
Good looking hat but why did they poke a hole in it for the tags
Great question. The tag actually went through the seam, so there is no added hole.
Gotta appreciate the efficiency in every step. Also pretty amazing that the the top part of the crown is just centered by hand on the brim. I've made some leather hats by hand and really enjoyed watching your work steps.
Beautiful hat ,question what dressing are you using to finish? Thanks
Ranch 🥗
Nice custom hat but I'd have to design mine cuz of my limited time in the sun 13:55
🙌
Nice hat, wonder how it'll hold up to weather. With all hats meant to be used outdoors its keeping structure in rain, wind, snow is what fails. Stetson or 5$ Amazon hat, that's what goes first for me.
Our leather is treated with rain resistant and our hats have a lifetime guarantee if you want to ever give us a try

Would you mind what did you spray before you adjust the crown !! thank you.
$200? More? I wonder where they sell these. Love it! But sadly I’ll never own one.
sign up for our email list, we have promos often. you never know, maybe you could even win one
❤❤❤
💗
Very interesting process, fine detail, gr8 workmanship! To the point of forming the creases, why in the world put a good-looking hat through that. Do they all come with those creases, no individuality.
We have some that have it and some that don't
👏👏👏
I liked it better when the brim was flat and the crown uncreased. Just sayin'.
It so interesting how many people actually like it without being shaped. Defiantly something to bring back to the team and talk about. Thank you for your comment.
If you prefer an open crown hat, that can be made to your preference.
Yeah... but then the video would have only been 11:53...
Ghost baby haunts Mom! 👻🤣
Father and daughter scare mom by transforming into a giant ghost! The baby loves it!! Her smile and laugh are so cute! Just in time for Halloween!
I see what you mean.
Красивая шляпа. Я бы хотел такую носить.
Рада что вам понравилось
How does it hold in the rain and snow? Do you have to add mink oil like boots?
It holds up great! It's treated with a rain resistant scotchgard during the tanning process. Just condition a couple times a year depending on daily use.
Bagus
Terima kasih
I’m a hat guy but I always saw a leather hat as being very hot and sweaty. Love the style though.
You might be surprised, you can always order one and return it if it is too hot. We also offer vented leather hats too. The Durango is a popular vented hat. americanhatmakers.com/products/durango-mens-leather-cowboy-hat
