How It's Made: Stetson Hats

Post by Bounty Hunter »

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I thought I'd let anyone who's interested know that last night there was a "How It's Made" episode on Discovery channel showing "Baseball gloves, Medical electrodes, and Stetson hats."
They showed all the steps in making hats from raw fur to finished product. The only thing they didn't show was the dye process for coloring felt.

It might replay again soon, so this is a heads up if interested

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move

Yep, caught it too. Even my wife said it was interesting to see how our hats are actually made. :)

I suggested this to them a couple years ago. Glad to see they eventually made it.
