That was the most professional hat video I've seen to date. I love that she uses only beaver shells and "old school" tools and methods. She's a true artist. She's the kind of hat maker that makes you not mind so much when you pay the bill. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Star video! "Thumbs way up" from this Kentucky boy.
I can't believe I missed this shop when I was in Durango a few years ago. Guess I'll have to make sure I don't miss it next summer when I go to Colorado.
I had my gray hat made in Billings Montana national rodeo's hat maker, Buffalo Hats, that traveled crhe rodeo current! It fits my head best of all my hats. Hat maker in billings has my head pattern from same machine.
You just solved the problem of how to flatten my brim. Thank you so much. I really love the Native American designs. If I ever visit the U.S.A., I will definitely visit your shop.
It's a fun Video to watch but generally after you shape the Crown Height you let the Hat Crown cool off for a Day to a Week so the fur Fibers lock back together. Maybe they already had another seasoned Hat Body ready for the Video? She's definitely a Top Notch Hat Maker! Thank you!
