  • Watch David of D Bar J Hat Company demonstrate how a custom hat is made by hand. Custom hats are made individually in the workshop to fit each individual's head. All of D Bar J hats start from the finest rabbit, hare and beaver fur. All of D Bar J Hat Company's machinery dates from the late 1800's to early 1900's. This is a hands-on craft. Every hat is special. Care is taken at every step of the way to ensure the owner is proud to wear the D Bar J brand.
    This video shows the techniques that are used to make many of the molded hat styles like custom cowboy hats, fedoras, top hats, and more.

    This was a great video! I loved seeing the 100 year old machine that still worked! It's so nice to see the old ways still kept alive today! I'm absolutely in love with millinery and would love to learn to do it some day. I'm actually hoping to attend a college in my city because I found out they had a millinery course! I'm more into top hats myself, especially miniature ones, but I just love seeing any hat being made! Thanks for sharing this video! :D

    I just tried to shape my Resistol Black Gold using a whistling tea kettle. That steam is hot, just have to keep your fingers away. I love this video by the way, automation or not, he is probably one of the last custom hat makers in the US. Check out Nate Funmaker's video... it will blow you mind. He took hatmaking to a different level.

    Hi. I was wondering how one goes about lining (more precisely shaping a crown lining) a felt cowboy or fedora hat.

    How did you manage to come into possession of so many antique machines? Such beautiful work, real cool to see what you do.

      @DBarJHat  Před 4 lety +1

      It's been a long time in the making. Didn't happen over night. We've been in Business for 30 years and over time we've collected many hat making machines we could find.

    I see a lot of 'automation' being used. Regardless, you have a very interesting process in making hats.
    Thanks for sharing

    We appreciate the video. Could you show how the beaver fur is flattened into a useable material for the hat? I show this video every year to each Alberta grade 7 Social Studies class. There is always the question - how do you make hats out of beaver fur? This helps. Thanks.

    Hey guys. Im quiet interested Int this art. Been searching for courses but had no luck in finding one. Do you guys know of any place where I can aquire this art?

    • @DBarJHat
      @DBarJHat  Před 4 lety

      It's a lost art and only few people still do things like this today. If you want to learn this art you'd have to find someone who makes decent hats and try to work under them. That is the only way we know to get into hats in todays time

    DBarJ Hat I have a 7 1/4 Stetson cowboy hat that I am wearing for my profile picture actually. I would like to turn into a John Wayne styled hat like the one he wore in "The cowboys" film, I would like to have some advice and/or tips. I would like to know what type of brim shape it is. I might consider taking it to you to do it up like John Wayne's hat, Thanks!
