      Me neither! Would love to watch him make a hat that I could buy. It would be a great piece of equipment, and for storytime around the campfire!

      I'm wagering it's probably pretty expensive if this much labor is going into it. But, it's probably also something that's going to last.

    Great hats. Love the craftsmanship and the pride you take in your work, but why did you say “approximately 48% of my time.” Sounds like you know exactly how much time. Love your videos.

  • @EinsamPibroch278
    @EinsamPibroch278 Před rokem +1

    I was under the impression that Hatters were also called Milliners.🧐
    In any Case, those are some lovely Hats!🤠
    (Just checked, Hatters are for Men, Milliners are for Ladies.)

  • @vernontorrence4407
    @vernontorrence4407 Před rokem

  • @drk321
    @drk321 Před rokem +3

    People that create things from their hands are superior. This is a human endeavor. Not someone typing on a keyboard or following the stock market. When everything caves in and collapses, craftsmen/women will have skills which are useful. Hunt, build, grow, create will win over code, blog, vlog, trade, buy, sell.

    The custom 100x rabbit fur felt hats start at $350, while the custom 100x beaver fur felts start at $650. However, the hats are water resistant and made from high quality materials. “You're buying a piece of wearable art,” Jacobs assured. “It's something you can wear for a lifetime.”

    @hunterxcraft8328 Před rokem

    He’s a craftsman. Full respect but I also recognize that a machine can press one perfect every time a lot faster. So while I hope rich people can buy the craftsman’s work I gotta go with the old affordable.
