They feel heavier the longer you wear one. Trust me....
Were you a guardsmen?
@@connersmith4801 sounds like
I’ve also tried it, it’s pretty heavy..
Mine was made in 1905.
Still in great condition
Why do you wear the strap on your chin?
How do you get the plumes to attach to the bearskin hat?
The Battle of Waterloo was not in 1831. . try 1815
I thought it was the battle of Inkerman which was Crimean War, much later in 1850s? I will research this and edit>
Please can you tell me the name of the blue 'feathers' on the one side of some of bearskins ?
The blue plume is the Irish Guards, one of the 5 regiments of the Royal guards. All five regiments are: The Grenadier Guards, which have a white plume, Scot Guards, which have no plume, Irish guards, Welsh Guards, which have a white and green plume and the Coldstream Guards, which have a red plume.
@@Ikkyria thank you! Does it have a special name? Or just plume?
@@BlueInk912 no problem, and yes it is just plume. I hope it helped. ^^ 💂🏼
Late reply but I’ll correct ye. 5 regiments of the household division each have something to represent their regiment on their uniform, they are never the same. The Irish Guards is St Patrick’s Blue. Grenadier Guards is a grey-ish, Scot’s guards have no plume either side, Welsh guards have a white green white, Coldstream guards have a dark red. Each regiment has the regimental logo on the collar, so the Irish Guards will have a shamrock instead of it. The Irish Guards have 2 groups of 4 buttons .
@@Princeton5 thank you.. For identifying that beautiful blue.. St Patricks Blue.
Just to make sure if i understand correctly. These coloured plumes remain year in, year out to identify Guards easily. Love the simple Shamrock.. Counting bottons gets tricky😊
How to
Make one???
he is a tailor assembling uniform; the hats are produced elsewhere
I love those hats
I would love one can you buy them ?
But how is it made? This video doesn't show anything but fur.

It’s bear fur. The bear grows it that’s how
They kill bears for this?
They don’t specifically kill bears so they can get the fur to make the hats but the fur is just a byproduct of a bear cull which is necessary in order to keep the population of black bear at around 900,000 which experts have identified as a healthy number so that the population doesn’t get to big that they begin to inhabit areas that humans inhabit and to keep other species of animals at a healthy while also providing economic benefits for rural communities which have limited economic opportunities so instead of the fur being wasted it’s sold to the companies that make the bearskin hats
Yes
From what I understand..they have tried to go other routes instead of the actuall bear... But nothing to date has worked within the standards of what is desired. And since the bear population has to be managed.. then this is the trade off... Sad but it's understandable.
@@alfredrodriguez7106they take it from the culled bears
the furs are sourced from bear reserves in Canada under strict laws and quantities are scarce; better than letting the natural product go to waste or producing synthetic furs through chemically intensive processes that don't do the job properly and harm the environment
These great stuff.😁🤪❤👍
very interesting info on these great stuff
Not so great when taxpayers fork out a huge sum for a hat!
Stella Mccartney..
So how are these monuments to unnecessary animal cruelty made?
But does peta know
I believe PETA don't care much about bears these days, after losing several of their conservationist to bear attacks. Remember, they used to tied themselves to trees, and bears will eat them alive. Too bad they don't still practiced that anymore. I meant, tidings themselves to the trees.🤣
Fantastic tradition-
Yes very cool they torture animals
@@imnotabot7878 last time I checked, death wasn't torture.
@@kshatriiya2046 it is
Wow, what a totally click bait title! I didn't see any "How to make" information, did you?
How to make a bearskin:
1) Nick it from the French.
@@hoilst265 hahaha good one
Dreadful barbarism, is it not?
Animal cruelty is not supported. Animal products used for irrelevency is not supported. If the products tried don't work then change the outfit. Bears are not in great number and culling should not even be considered.
Bugger off
Bloody hell, it's part of their tradition. They're not going to change their tradition/uniforms for animals. Just cope with it.
@@deservingcomplexionm8111 likewise to you
@@kshatriiya2046 this so-called tradition can and will change..for one thing it's too costly for taxpayers...we have more important requirements than ceremony hats!
@Ro Ca so is torturing humans. Back to you.
