I actually watched this all the way through just because it was so interesting. I have no plan to make a hat but I'm totally impressed with this video. Really cool stuff.
i did exactly the same, i'm a videographer as well and the great work doing this video as well the excellent craftsmanship of the hat was so nice to watch till the end.
Thank you for this awesome video. It's always good to be reminded that things we use everyday, not matter how mundane or commonplace have to be designed and actually made by a person. Even something as "simple" as a hat has many parts that have to be designed, cut, and sewn before they become this thing we all pretty much take for granted.
by the title i assume it was something a bit more simple. however it was nice to see how a hat its made, and i also think its impressible nice of you to keep offering your help and time to competitors.
Beautifully execute! Nice voice and very detailed operation. I haven't seen the process of making a cap until now. I'm impressed. I want to make my own cap now! SUBSCRIBED!
Excellent tutorial- background music and all. I am a Mom of four and a fashion design student (thinking of going more toward pattern making) I have been sewing on a domestic machine my whole life and just bought an industrial. Hoping to get a serger at some point too. Thank you for making this and creating a pattern for it. I would love to make some hats in the near future and this is a really nice looking one! Cheers!
Your production setup is envious. Always amazed at videos like this. Just one note I made while watching: Throughout the presentation, the comment was made similar to this: "do this and it will look more... professional made/store bought...". I am sure a lot of DIY-ers, and small-scale manufacturers, watch these videos and think nothing of that. In my feeble DIY efforts I think the same thing. This morning however, taking notice of this overlooked sentiment, I was sent on a morning-long, deep philosophical, internal rant... Perhaps unwelcomely, I share, overly verbose thoughts below. We probably understand these terms from an awareness of competition with mass manufactured products. The consuming world has now made the de-facto standard of quality to be that of 'machine made'. Isn't that what is really meant by the phrase 'professional look' or 'store-bought'? And we dance around it, but readily recognize that machine made from a business standpoint means a uniform reliable product with low per-unit cost (after buying the machine of course). Oftentimes eliminating human labor which is very costly, especially in the developed 1st world, where everybody feels entitled to a good paycheck. All obvious to anyone who has ever thought to pursue small business production in America. ...Not so sure how I feel about all that reality, not that it matters... From one perspective this is the great accomplishment of collective-industrialization and competitive capitalism evolving into economy of scale/oligarchy capitalism - another phrase for crony capitalism and government agency industrial complexes which have grown out of the evolution of once competitive capitalism (such as the moral philosopher Adam Smith alluded to). In defense of it people will cite, it has led to supporting orders of magnitude more people on the Earth. And the average lifestyle of those people is so much less endangered/better (accepting that 'averages' do not acknowledge the extremes). And personally, I tend to agree; I tend to think living in this world is much ergonomically easier than living in the pre-industrialized world. Life back then was struggle every way you turned, for things we take for granted, now. Of course the enculturation of people back then provided them the knowledge of how to live/deal with their struggle of life; they also knew no difference, other than to see the noble classes, but we have that today, too. They managed to find meaning and happiness despite more tangible struggles. I might even suggest because of their more tangible struggles it was easier to find meaning for an individual life. Back then, just try to find sanitary water, keep your food from rotting, wear clothes to keep you warm. An act as simple as bathing or washing anything took significant effort to facilitate and was not always affordable/practical. What did serve that purpose back then would have been thought crude and unacceptable by today's standards. Everybody stank and thought nothing of it. Those who were bathed and perfumed were the exception to the average, unlike today (except of course in third-world countries and impoverished rural America). It is often argued, a homeless beggar, now, in some ways had more than the noble class back then. And to a degree I don't doubt that to be true. However! I think we have paid a price for this ease and comfort, personal peace and prosperity we have so eagerly pursued. And that price is far from tangible. An egomaniacal lawyer or greedy accountant would have no appreciation for the abstraction of a meaningful life. The price we have paid for this modern world is a somewhat dehumanizing collective consciousness, where the individual has lost their relative value, despite all this emphasis on participation prizes, the rights of snowflakes to safe spaces, and other forms of catering to the delicate margins. The more inclusive and comfortable we make life for all the more murderous, suicidal, narcissistic and psychopathic our modern materialistic society becomes. Go ahead, cancel me if you can. And as it came to my mind, yes, there was a class-based society back then, but every class had its purpose and value. And within a class the contribution of an individual meant a lot more. The lack of a single human contribution is what risked the collapse of the whole system back then. The butcher, the baker the candlestick maker was a meaningful calling in life, not just a job; and them having apprentices was important, too. (Just go research the history of the Black Death and its impact on every aspect of social order into the following centuries). In mass form we no longer have the butcher, baker and candlestick maker (well, I am neglecting to consider the construction trades, but that is work beneath us moderns, isn't it); their individual human contribution is utterly gone. What we have now is a complex machine with very replaceable human cogs throughout. And this complex machine, unbeknownst to its collective creators can be brought to its knees by the simplest of uncommon disruptions. We have traded off robustness for complexity. Brought to us by the short-sighted benefits of innovations with the latest technology. Another aspect to this change in mindset is how much it supports the ideas,...and I would say historically failed ideas...of socialism/communism/collectivism. Those ideologies, just like technocracy, absolutely needs, low value, replaceable, relatively meaningless human cogs for its success. After all, the ever-increasing complexity of the latest must-have technologies demand wide-scale acceptance/adoption for their success. We all must conform. Do you have your chip implants yet? This modern system also costs every individual, in this mass of humanity it supports, the tools for individual survival in a natural world (unless of course you live in those extremes, such as the third world, or impoverished rural America, and are forced to develop such survival skills,... Or you've taken up the hobby of Bushcraft). Should this complex system built of interdependent technology and human cogs fall apart due to one of the numerous unforeseeable disruptors, most people will not have the skill sets to survive closer to a state of nature (thinking of the terminology used by philosophers that influenced America's founders). Many would die. Ironically this current system has also been the hidden supportive enabler to the devaluing of Parenthood, family structure, morally bound communities as existed in the past, the ideas of posterity/inheritance, and other traditional conservative concepts no longer matter. I say ironic because it is usually conservatives who defend this capitalism that led to this state of affairs. They tend to be unaware their forbearers spoke of greed as a vice, not the good thing that makes the world go round as the modern Republican capitalist sees it. They are naively mistaken, not seeing that this is far from Adam Smith's form of competitive (go Google 'perfect competition') capitalism. Perhaps more strictly I am thinking of neo-con Republicans versus populous conservatives. Where is all this going! I don't know. But I think neither the past crony capitalism trend, nor the rising technocracy/collectivist trend is going to be the right solution. But in the meantime, if you want to sell your products you must compete with the machine made standard. God help us when AI is fully deployed.
My mother would sew with her fingers close to the needles as you are doing and she actually sewed her finger. She pulled her finger out as the needled went through and that causes the needle to be brake. She came to us and we needed to pull the needle out with a pliers
Excellent information. I have to do one for a client. I make patterns and samples. This is the first time I will make a cap. I'd like to find a factory here in LA where I can make the production.
This world is stupid how can this man get juste 21k subs end others stupid youtubers get millions realy dumb......thanks to this artiste for this wonderful videos ......❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌
How are my fellow Michiganders over on the "WEST SIIIIIIIIIIDE"?? ;) I love this video. I may be tempted to make a cap one day. Thanks for the upload :)
What is the exact name of the twin needle bias tape binder you use? i am looking all over and cannot find one! If you can point me in the right direction that would be great! Thank you!
Yeah I find myself becoming interested in sewing, at this point in my life though, I have so many interests and hobbies that go un-nerteured that I cant afford to go and buy all the stuff to even try getting into it, not to mention the space! But still, cool video. I do have to ask though, is it really cost effective to buy all this stuff and make it yourself? When you can probably buy one like this for less than 5 dollars/pounds?
I noticed how on some of your hats on the store they have those pencil holder things and I was wondering if that was a possibility for putting that on my hat for school or if it was an exclusive to your hats
At 24:40, for the front crown stitching- why did you use the flatbed sewing machine instead of high post bed machine? Seems like the post bed would've been more convenient
Hello, We used the flatbed to show that it is possible to top stitch on a standard machine. Yes, we recommend using a postbed with a edge guide presser foot.
+ProperFit Clothing Co. I too came to see the part of the tutorial for adding the holder to the cap, i'm not a hat wearer for fashion but i'm all about a finding or making a utility hat.
17:40 any info on where to get one of these stitch guides? I have a magnetic one but I'm limited to the size of the metal plate. Seems like an adjustable one like this gives enough room to do as many lines as you want
I actually watched this all the way through just because it was so interesting. I have no plan to make a hat but I'm totally impressed with this video. Really cool stuff.
i did exactly the same, i'm a videographer as well and the great work doing this video as well the excellent craftsmanship of the hat was so nice to watch till the end.
Samesies! Totally engrossing.
Anthony Bowman ,
What an amazing video. Not sure too many hat companies would share their secrets with everyone. You are a true hero.
I actually want to sit fown and show him my designs. I bet he'll make it for me.young man get in touch with me.
Thank you for this awesome video. It's always good to be reminded that things we use everyday, not matter how mundane or commonplace have to be designed and actually made by a person. Even something as "simple" as a hat has many parts that have to be designed, cut, and sewn before they become this thing we all pretty much take for granted.
one of the best tutorials on YT...
yes wish i was here 2 years ago
Wow, the proper machines, feet, attachments, and tools make all the difference. I especially like the binding attachments.
by the title i assume it was something a bit more simple. however it was nice to see how a hat its made, and i also think its impressible nice of you to keep offering your help and time to competitors.
Beautifully execute! Nice voice and very detailed operation. I haven't seen the process of making a cap until now. I'm impressed. I want to make my own cap now! SUBSCRIBED!
Fully appreciate this tutorial. Watched it all the way and it gave me a new appreciation for this craft. Thank you.

I used to complain paying 20$ for a hat but after this video, looks like I’m getting the deal!
I love that leather pencil holder on the side, I MAY try to make a hat but I'm definitely gonna add that to something. Nice.
My mother would sew with her fingers close to the needles as you are doing and she actually sewed her finger. She pulled her finger out as the needled went through and that causes the needle to be brake. She came to us and we needed to pull the needle out with a pliers
This video was amazing and the product at the end was phenomenal and now I can make my own snapbacks
My Godness ,wonderful job , wonderful fabric , and woderful machine . am very impressed beautiful Hat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New sub. So kind of you to share how it's done, stitch for stitch and inch for inch. Nice. Very nice.
Excellent information. I have to do one for a client. I make patterns and samples. This is the first time I will make a cap. I'd like to find a factory here in LA where I can make the production.
Calama - chili 👍🤗

Very interesting, I always wondered how they were made, even though I don't plan on making any myself. Thanks!
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing. I never thought that much goes into hat making. Now I understand what hard work goes into making them. Great job!
Wow, man! Very impressive! Where did you learn industrial sewing/garment production? Thank you for teaching us!
Que bonito trabajo, muy profesional, saludos desde ciudad d Guatemala
Great tutorial...... Bored with covid diversion.
6:55 spread the seam allowances for a neater finish on the outside.
That was fascinating to watch, but I won’t be trying it. I’d rather pay for one. Well done!
Estupendo trabajo hermano. Solo una sugerencia en tu corte, desperdicias material. Aprovecha mas la tela con la que trabajas.
Brillitant video and beautiful piece of work
thanks I'll try my best with it
Muy buen trabajo saludos y abrazos de Bogota Colombia
How are my fellow Michiganders over on the "WEST SIIIIIIIIIIDE"?? ;) I love this video. I may be tempted to make a cap one day. Thanks for the upload :)
Yes Ben, I feel the same
i really like the one from the thumbnail
can you make that exact hat but make it flexfit style? i hate open back hats but love the look of the triangle panel front.
Felicitaciones, muy buen trabajo, gracias x compartir tus conocimientos, que tengas muchos éxitos, un procedimiento muy profesional, bendiciones
muy interesante, muy artesanal!, nosotros fabricamos gafas artesanales tambien y sabemos valorar un buen trabajo, felicitaciones!
Beauuuutiful job, loved watching your great talent and perfect work.
What is the exact name of the twin needle bias tape binder you use? i am looking all over and cannot find one! If you can point me in the right direction that would be great! Thank you!
Yeah I find myself becoming interested in sewing, at this point in my life though, I have so many interests and hobbies that go un-nerteured that I cant afford to go and buy all the stuff to even try getting into it, not to mention the space! But still, cool video.
I do have to ask though, is it really cost effective to buy all this stuff and make it yourself? When you can probably buy one like this for less than 5 dollars/pounds?
um is there a link to purchase the cap itself???
I noticed how on some of your hats on the store they have those pencil holder things and I was wondering if that was a possibility for putting that on my hat for school or if it was an exclusive to your hats
well done my friend thanks for your teaching.
Если здесь есть русские, то давайте залайкаем этот коммент, чтобы англичане подумали что здесь что-то годное!?)
i like that snapback hat
Honestly you're genius
Excelent video and beautiful cap bro!😍👌
+Stay-NSS Thank you!
Impressive, Very informative and educative. Thanks for sharing. What do you call the twin needle Machine
please?
Can my domestic machine do this? What about the needle for sewing through that plastic brim?
Great! You have made my search awesome. Thanks
Great video! Production seamstress here and I love all!
this is for me the best cap s2
Is there any chance you might share how to stitch the pencil holder?
Thumbs up if you watch these videos and you are not even a tailor or what so ever :P
At 24:40, for the front crown stitching- why did you use the flatbed sewing machine instead of high post bed machine?
Seems like the post bed would've been more convenient
Hello, We used the flatbed to show that it is possible to top stitch on a standard machine. Yes, we recommend using a postbed with a edge guide presser foot.
Roger that!
Do you sew the crown directly onto the brim or on the inside edge of the brim?
te invito a conocer peru gracias por tu tecnica buen tutorial
NICE, and you're giving away the pattern!!! How cool is that!!!
ok so i just wanna purchase the hat with a pencil holder.....wheres the link. because the site doesn't have one
+ProperFit Clothing Co. I too came to see the part of the tutorial for adding the holder to the cap, i'm not a hat wearer for fashion but i'm all about a finding or making a utility hat.
Paul Newton yes I'm an artist and I'm always on GO! so any garment that'll help me stay organized and fashion forward I WANT!!
I just wanna blunt holder on my hat
love the stitch guide you used. can you let me know where to purchase>> cheers. excellent video guys
Very good video.
What is the pencil clip shown on the hat in the thumbnail???
Awesome video and terrific design! Thank you for sharing
I want that one
Can you provide more info or a link to the seam guide you're using? thanks
Can all caps be made so you can have a rounded brim?
Hi.Could you tell me ,please,what density do you use fusible interfacing .Thank you.
Excelente trabajo, muy bien logrado!!!!!!!!!.-
This is excellent and so very helpful. thank you
great video mate, very helpful. Can you tell me the name of the band? I really like them too.
Could you use a cobbler sewing machine? Or is that overboard?
I want to buy that finished hat.
This was a great tutorial. Thank you.
You guys have kids sized brims and patterns?
I'm surprised how much human labor is involved in hat making. I wonder why hats aren't way more expensive than the average $10 to $20 prices.
muy buen trabajo, saludos desde Saltillo, Coahuila Mx...cuidado con el Covid-19
Great video! What kind of post bed machine do you have?
How do I get that one?
What I love is that I don't need anything to make a cap😅
Can one use leather instead of canvas
Is the double needle you are using for the bias tape a chain stitch machine or does it do a standard straight stitch?
likely just a twin needle for a regular sewing machine. you can buy at joannes
It seems you are delivering a lecture on space science.
You need to provide sufficient gesture to make viewers understand.
so the double needles is the attachment?
I LIKE DIS HAT, CAN U SHOW ME HOW IT'S DONE ON A DOMESTIC?? PLEASE N THX
This was really helpful! Thanks guys!
Hey! When this pattern will available again?
Looking awesome! 👍
17:40 any info on where to get one of these stitch guides? I have a magnetic one but I'm limited to the size of the metal plate. Seems like an adjustable one like this gives enough room to do as many lines as you want
i liked the BGM
I am in china.i so love your cap.I want to buy😬😬
Yet another awesome vid.
AMAZZINH
So lovely. Pls how can I download the video?
Thank you for this awesome video!
Does anyone have a machine recc to make something at this level but without tons of extra stitches etc?
its really good work there man.
Love this channel!
