I wish there was stuff like this out east where i am, love that era and everything about it.
what a legend
Can’t tell you how much your videos help me in this first year of hat making. I’m still a novice and would love to be a fly on the wall in this workshop but thank you for your awesome videos
I ordered mine in “Dirty Snow”. Can’t wait to get it in September!!!!
What kind of hat is the one he is using Looks cool.. GN
What do you do with the trimmings off of hat brims?
Thus dude is awesome
I wanted to tried this but as the hat had a liner inside I was at a loss as what to do. I didn't want to cut out the liner and rune the hat.
Thank you for your awesome videos. I learned how to make hats apply stiffener before I block the hat but it’s proven hard to get wrinkles out after blocking. Just to clarify, you all don’t apply any stiffener before blocking, right? I’ve been thinking about trying this out now I’m definitely going to!!
What a wonderful exhibition of hatters, Paul Australia
Hi! So you mix the shellac flakes with the stiffener? I'm working with a western weight body and it was nice and stiff before I blocked it. Now its much softer and I'd like to try to get it really stiff again, almost like cardboard haha
thank you!!!!! trying to fix my dads hat that passed away n the leather band is the scary part for me
Thank you so much!
What are yalls hoods made of that slip on over your block? In many of the videos they show here on CZcams they only show stretching over block bare blocks and leave out how they actually achieve a perfect fit with the sweat band. So yalls method intrigues me as someone whos wanting to learn this craft.
Looking online alot of hat blocks have a style# on their blocks which I suppose is standard. Making a standard cowboy hat, what # would you recommend?
Hi there does this work with hats made of straw?
I always get compliments on the hat of his i ware.
Appreciate the video, in the past I fought with a clothes iron.
Gracias Luguer 🤙
Can you do this if the hat isn’t felt? I have a sombrero that seems to be made of some sort of hard cardboard.
Noticed that guys name is Galbraith . Mine is Galbreath but seen his spelling in my family tree . Love the hats !
GREAT Video but hard to hear Grizz audio
It's amazing to see that pencil curl put in. I've been wondering how you did it. More hats should have that brim!
Where do you get your hat blocks from? Or do you have any for sale
Does this also appy to wollen hats? I've heard wool gets tighter with agitation, water and heat
Personally, I do like the video, but I would prefer more talking like you normally do
I really love Lil Grizz and always show up for all of his content but I honestly can not stand that camera operator. After scrolling through the comments on previous videos it seems that the overall general public agrees with me on that. In fact I find more comments about the camera operator not shutting up than I do about Grizz or the hats and that's a real shame because he's one of the last great hatmakers we have left and we can only see and hear him through the filter of this camera operator who simply must make every filmed moment about her. I have watched the videos featuring her and her sweatbands and yeah none of us are here for that. We want to see and hear Grizz. I guess if she can't control herself enough to get through these short videos without talking then at least invest in an equalizer so her voice isn't 80db louder than his. It makes it horrible for headphone users and makes him impossible to hear over her. Anyway much love and respect to Grizz and the work he is doing. Please get someone else to film or run the audio through an equalizer before posting because sadly a lot of that knowledge and personality is totally lost and hidden behind the other, much louder, voice that we didn't come here to hear.
I'm glad you beat me to it! I was about to type out a long comment like this about the same thing now I'm glad I don't have to. I get she is having fun but she is really ruining his videos and has been for a long time now. She is so much louder than him and talks way more than he does. I think you right about the EQ. it would literally solve 80% of the issues, although just being quiet and letting the master hatmaker explain his work would be best.
Hello. This is lander red the resident hat maker for grizz. I felt I should leave some context. For starters the "camera operator" as you chose to call her is mizz grizz. She's grizzs wife and also the driving force behind our online sales and the entire reason this channel exist in the first place. I bring this up because the reason she keeps "yapping" as you'd probably say is because these aren't planned out content but rather spur of the moment recordings between a husband and wife just trying to show a bit of what they do. Also to explain the audio. We just record these on a phone when ever we see an opening to do so, we already are busy with the business so we see no need to drop everything to become content creators too. I don't mean to come off as to rude. But felt to need to stick up for my fellow worker, not only because I care for her. But also for the fact she's the one who wanted to put the info out in the first place . Have a nice day!
I don't see you teaching shit lol didn't your parents ever teach you to keep your mouth shut if you ain't got anything nice to say? Folks like you is why there's no hat makers left, everyone getting shit on for trying to teach.
That orange hat is definitely somthing lol
Love it! 😂
Thanks
Happy belated birthday, Lil Grizz. My Husband, daughter, her boyfriend and I enjoyed meeting you (a Legendary Hat Maker) last night at Bear Creek just outside of Branson. We enjoyed our conversation with you. You are a special person. God’s blessings to you and Miss Grizz. Safe travels.
That is such a lovely spot! Thanks for commenting! Be sure to follow us on other social platforms!
Where do you pick up one of them irons from?
some are anique and some we have made for us
Do y'all have any videos of y'all shaping a "down unda" hat? That is going to be the hat I'm gonna order from y'all in a couple months
Straight to the point , options . Can’t ask for more ❤ from Texas .
What sweatband material are you using?
It is our own unique comfort sweatband....we designed it and make it ourselves out of the best materials we can get.
This is a great demo - thanks! I am about to try putting a new sweatband in a beat-up western hat I am restoring. An antique mall $20 find.
I need me a real hat , hopefully soon can't wait
Last time i was in yer shop the fumes frum shallac made me feel funny down there like my Grandma used to trell me !!Gandma used to say that grandpaw would put her in a closet and spry bug schllac all around untill she could even say her name rite....n then he said heed mount her like a sundy chicken and thats how we get little sisters n bruthers,,,the schllac now it made evrybody feel strange..but good it the same tam///,...i cinda feel strange now...
Well done Mizz Grizz!
Happy Birthday and enjoyed your collection of portraits. Sure would be nice to be young again. Thanks again
Happy birthday Grizz. Thanks for the great mountain man hat you made for me. Today was my birthday also.
Happy Birthday 🎊🎉🎂🎁🎈!
Happy Birthday Grizz!!!...woods
How do I order the hat Grizz is wearing?
It is our Vaquero in Sand.....You need to measure your head carefully then contact us at hatsbygrizz@gmail.com
Recently bought my first hat and quickly came to realize it's too tight! Your video is simple and instructive. The only problem was you stood too far from the camera and i could not understand your instructions very well. Nonetheless i thank and salute you from Greece. Wish you the best and thank you!! 😊
Citing people nice to watch a master Craftsman doing his trade. The man's an artiste thank you very much for these videos.👍🤠❤
How did they make the felt to make the hat out of
Felting is a whole other profession. Animal hair has to have the natural oils removed then mashed together in hot water until the microscopic barbs mesh into felt. We have another video that shows one hat which Grizz himself felted....it s very rustic.
Love your videos but could you put a microphone on Gritz? I have a hard time hearing everything he says.
I am interested in brim binding. Do you or do you know of other hat makers that can provide me with this service?
Many makers do this....please email us at hatsbygrizz@gmail.com to continue this conversation.
That’s a great hat!
That’s a spiffy hat
