I love the Ranger history and didn’t know we passed the 200th anniversary. And the hat shaping is fascinating. I really respect the young man’s attitude and he is so aware of his blessings. Thank you.
Cool personal story of mine regarding the Hat Store. I’m an HPD officer here in Houston. One rainy night 2 guys broke into their warehouse looking to steal copper. They rummaged through the hat boxes of several premium hats (100x, 200x and up) and they didnt take a single hat. Thought it was funny bc they had no idea they struck a gold mine lol
Love that shape! That’s a shape you would see plenty of working cowboys wear! Best compliment I could ever give a shaper is, “that’s a cowpuncher there”!
The Hat Store has cut and hand shaped western felt hats for many famous people including former President George H. W. Bush, Rick Perry, Dusty Hill and Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Lyle Lovett, Merle Haggard, Clint Black, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alabama, Larry Gatlin, Dennis Weaver, Roy Rogers, Shaquille O’Neal, Craig Biggio and Lance Berkman of the Houston Astros, just to name a few.
Great video ,enjoyed hearing about some of the history behind the Texas Ranger Bicentennial Hat. One of my Great,Great Grandfathers was a Texas Ranger in the mid to late 1800's.
yea that looks GREAT and I think will come BACK as a popular brim shape. Some of my 90's era customs have that basic organic packer front. Classic and balanced!!!!
Thank you for finding all of this great hat stores and have them share one for you while visiting it’s awesome keep them coming is really hard to find good hat shapers so great work!!!!!
As a retired Commonwealth law enforcement officer with the Australian Protective Service en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Protective_Service , we were issued two types of fur felt based upon the Australian Army fur felt en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slouch_hat yet turned down in Khaki and Navy colour. We also had a grey ‘Snowy River’ fur felt ( like seen in the movie man from snowy river issued for general use. The head Dress was issued dependant upon what region and unit you were stationed at. Officers at joint US Military Defense establishments mainly wore Khaki slouch due to the red dirt in those regions whilst city officers were issued the blue slouch or the grey snowy river. We also had officer caps based on the Air Force uniform and baseball cap versions yet the colours were for specific regions even though we held the same office. Great insight into the TEXAS RANGERS.
Actually funny story I went in here for 5 months ago and they didn't have the hat that I wanted in my size and I actually bought the hat off of Dillan's head that he's wearing in this video I had drove a long way so they made sure I left happy definitely will be back
you mean what shape brim and crown? Personal preference. Look at a bunch of shapes and find one that suits you. You may have to go through a lot of different brims before you settle on one though.
I’m wearing an American Chocolate 200x with cattleman crown and brim. You can see the video of this hat here. American Hat Company 200x Chocolate Shaping With Andy Henson at The Best Hat Store and Interview ua-cam.com/video/lH6bLayH_7o/v-deo.html thanks for watching and the comment.
It’s quite acceptable, “Keep your outfit neutral. Black and brown work best together when you skip any bold or bright colors and just do a mix of neutral hues.”. Thanks for watching and the comment.

Wow!!! 🤯 no wonder they say “Information is power” 😅
AWESOME WORK. Thats a great looking hat. Excellent shape and that hat looks way better than the one the customer wore in.
Love that shape!

@@RichSwick wow
I've gotten my hats from there since 1987, in both straw and felt. I'm in the mood to buy another felt and this is the place to go.
yea that looks GREAT and I think will come BACK as a popular brim shape. Some of my 90's era customs have that basic organic packer front. Classic and balanced!!!!
Love this style. Cool mix of new/old. Love these older styles coming back.
I purchased 3 hats from these guys about 5 years ago red, white & blue. Never found any other companies who sold red or blue.
Thank you for finding all of this great hat stores and have them share one for you while visiting it’s awesome keep them coming is really hard to find good hat shapers so great work!!!!!
I have a 5X Attwood crystal cattleman custom made by Brooks Attwood and I absolutely love it .
What an awesome job beautiful work!!!
Thanks for the comment! We had a great time and Blaine did a fantastic job on the hat.
That Straw looks super fire
Thanks! It’s definitely different than my usual style, but a cool look and Blaine did a fantastic job.
@CowboyCartel so that's called a Fort Worth crease?
That rounded crown looked good … 26:37

Thanks for sharing and commenting. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Love that new hat

Thank you, we are pretty happy with how it turned out
To the shaper,, what style hat are you wearing?
@@raykirkwood162 200x chocolate with a 4.5 inch brim. Cattleman crown and 7 inch wide J brim
What is the brim shape called on the host's Brown hat? Is that a half taco?
It's a 7 inch wide J brim. Thanks for watching and the comment.
@@CowboyCartel, Hey thank you for the response,greatly appreciated!

How many "You know" does the hat shaper say?
Some people don't speak for a living, but are still willing to share information when you stick a camera in their face. Thanks for the comment.
@@CowboyCartel love what you guy are evolving in to.
How do I know which style is good for me?
you mean what shape brim and crown? Personal preference. Look at a bunch of shapes and find one that suits you. You may have to go through a lot of different brims before you settle on one though.
What is the style of shape on the dark hat you are wearing? I like the curve it has from front to back.
