This video is a really great example for younger generations to view and have modeled for them what casual authentic communication looks like on camera. You're not making faces, acting weird, desperate to capture people's attention, you're just conveying meaningful information thoughtfully in a relaxed way and that is what young people cannot do on UA-cam. This video was very informative, I found the information I was looking for, and the personality who delivered it was not obnoxious but interesting in the fact that they made the video about the content not about them. When they did insert personal connections with the content into the story, they did so in a way that didn't make it about them it kept it about the content. This is a really great UA-cam video overall and it accomplished my goal for learning and entertainment.
As a European where hats are not worn anymore, let alone cowboy hats... This is highly fascinating and good to know because i'm going to buy a Cowboy hat sooner or later :D
This younger generation is saying "who". I remember years ago visiting the Cartwright ranch set. It was a tourist attraction in the Lake Tahoe area. I heard they tore it down now and built something else there. Probably a ski resort.
I really like the look of the pinch front. The cattleman is cursed to me because it looks a bit like a drill sergeant hat and brings back unpleasant memories.
The Cattleman isn't what you mean. The "Drill Sgt." style is the Miner-Forty-Niner style. The Pinch-Front is basically unstyled with just a two-finger dent to pick up the hat by "two fingers." The "Dents" actually were just rain channels. The climate area's rainfall determined the dents. That's why the Mexican Sombero is shaped like it is - no rain to worry about running down your back.
I love the Montana/Gus shape. The hat stays on my head in windy weather and blocks the sun at a single point but doesn't completely block my front vision. The last hat fold I know as a "Denton" fold.
I’m from SC too and after going to Texas I saw the open crown hats and really liked them, and the brick crown. I got back home and none of my friends had the same appreciation for them. The last hat I bought, I steamed it and put a brick crown in it, but I cut it down to 2 7/8” in the front and the rest of the hat is 3 1/4” with no roll on the brim. Now the folks in SC like that look when they see it. Thanks for the video. Well done.
Thank you for the information, I have recently become obsessed with hats, and understanding why the creases are different makes my enjoyment increase... 🤠
I have an American black felt hat that is has been around since 1976. It was first my sister's boyfriend's hat. Then, my sister had the hat, and back then the brim was huge. About 25 yrs ago she gave it to me and I had the brim cut down and styled kind of like the style Clint Black used to wear. That hat has been thru hell and back and still looks good. I usually wear a Stetson straw hat in the summer and have 4 other felts all shaped a little differently. That black felt American hat is still my go to and favorite. If it could only talk. Lol
I just bought my first straw hat. I've had a felt hat since I was in high school (still wearable - a Stetson), and the summer heat this year in Dallas was terrible. I have other hats I've used. But once you put that western hat on, it's cool underneath. There are a few western-wear places in Dallas, still. Fewer than in the late-70s of course. I sure do miss "Western Warehouse" on North Central just below Royal. The building is now a music store. Wonderful video, thank you!
My favorite is the Gus/front pinch hat, which is a nice-looking hat that is different from the others. I have a mink/buffalo that I wear all the time. I will be buying the Gentleman's hat with the front Gus pinch, which is a classy hat and does not look so big on my head.
I love how much goes into some small, almost unimportant-feeling things. This video reminds me of some English gentleman (Lindybeige, I think) talking about "Scholar's cradles" - those hand positions educated folks make when giving a speech. A whole hour about 'em! 5 minutes for each one, how to use them, what they say about you, trivia... wow!
Native Texan here, unimportant, I don’t believe you would say that if you were experience in the Texas Sun and July and or August hell especially August
The wide brim in front is a recent thing, a change from the original more pointed front brmn, which got that way from taking the hat off and putting it on.
I’ve finally found a channel that has some information on the Stetson Hat ! I have enjoyed it, immensely ! And am searching for more information on the hats and their manufacturing methods. See y’all ‘round the campfire 🔥 🤠
How do you shape a telescopic flat crown buckaroo style felt Stetson? I've got a 6x Stetson, model Lash, same as good Ole Waylon. I'd appreciate the info..thank you for your tips..
I remember Cutter Bill's !! They made me a Bloody Mary early on a Saturday morning ! Great place, they don't make em like that anymore. Thanks for reminding me of that store.
I wish I'd have known y'all were in SC! Lived there most of my life, and only just found this channel. Living in Western NC, now - but I may stop in next time I come see my mom and dad.
Right on Chuck!! Great video! I want a hat, but I respect cowboys too much to try and imitate them. I live in the city. I'm getting into the country nightclub scene and having a blast. I'm taking 2 step lessons. I'm 62. Many of the men wear Cowboy hats. A woman told me not to wear a hat unless I'm a good dancer. I agree with her. I'm getting better, and im hoping to earn my hat some day.
Native Texan here, I kind of chagrined when I saw the title of this video because I knew you were going to leave out some things that were well known around my area of coral and Bandera Texas but honestly I enjoyed your video I could tell it comes from an honest place of love about the fashion of cowboy hats so let me tell you one important shape you forgot the rodeo curve or what some people call the bronco riders curve it was invented for if you got bucked off your hat would not just bust on impact from the crown down but roll away from the bronchi horse much like you should be doing at the time PS I have been to the resister hat company in Garland love the little corner store that is catty corner from the factory sells hats and a discount wish I knew about it along time ago with a save me probably hundreds of dollars
I've pretty much moved out to a ranch recently and after getting those little leafrollers everywhere then getting caught out in the Washington county rains, I quickly realized that these hats are actually incredibly practical. Pushing through underbrush has also given me a deep appreciation for a wide brim and there's enough stuff falling that a rugged protective crown would be nice too. I picked up and used a mesh model from Stetson but that was mostly because of summer heat. I'm looking to get a new one for the weather until spring and going to see a factory to get one from there sounds like a fun trip.
@@CtrlAltRetreat when you go to that factory in Garland Texas if you’re getting a hat for work don’t forget to have them put in a bronco riders stream they do it right there with the iron eyeholes
The pinched front is my preferred style (@7:11 in the video, aka Gentleman's hat). I bought a pinched front, beaver felt Stetson in 1989. I think they called it a "Ranger" style, but not 100% sure. It's my favorite hat and the one I wear 99% of the time. Stetson doesn't make it anymore, which makes no sense to me.
Just recently, and finally, replaced my cowboy hat from my teen years, I'm 33 now. It's been baseball caps since then because I didn't wanna drop the cash for a new cowboy hat and have it stolen again. But I found a good cheap one base of real wool and shaped how I like, what you referred to as the Gentleman's Hat. I call it a Tear Drop Pinch crown. Though I like the sound of Gentleman's Hat much more. Real leather and metal buckle hat band and I recently placed a hawk feather in it the hat band just in front of the buckle on the left side. Put it on after I'd done it and looked at my wife who immediately giggled, blushed, and ran to hide in the bathroom. I'm pretty sure she likes my new hat more than I do. 🤠
Totally loved this. I have a little place where l display and sell fine hats. Mostly Acubra, Stetson, Scala, Alamo, and the like. I love to clean and shape them. It must be so much fun to have all of those nice machines and shaping tools. People love the vintage hats that make available here in Southern Oregon. Thank You for this video.
Have a rabbit Banjo Patterson for cold weather and a hemp Range for city summer. Wearin a Double H Palm when working or recreating in the summer now. Where are you in OR?
Suggestion from a native Texan who is wore cowboy hats all his life get you some resistors the crown is lower than statins but I consider a working man’s hat and that’s why I always wore them
Just about to get my self my first "real" hat. Thank you for this video, so I could get to see some different types of creases, and to get some tips on what there are out there. 👍 Now to make up my mind about what i like the most.
I have 10X Rodeo King w gus crease and a mule kick in the back. The Brim is pretty much factory w just a little bow in it. The slight square front is growing on me....may have my brim re-steamed an shaped w more bow.
Thanks for this, I just moved to Oklahoma and bought my first hat, this helped me understand what I ended up with as well as all my other options for my next one!
Well now I know what kind of crease my hat has. Bought that Bailey in '77 for a huntin trip, rain and snow helped break it down a little and it acquired that Montana crease before that dove had a chance to get lonesome. Knew there was something I liked about Gus, lol.
In my area South Dakota you either see the older guys born pre Baby Boomer wearing the exact same hat style of John Wayne the non tall Gus style John Wayne wore in the Gentlemans style or you have the others from Baby Boomer doing a Clint Eastwood or the narrow Cattleman of what some Outalw Country guys wore like Wille Nelson wore if they did not wear the Clint Eastwood, with people my age Millennial wearing the Cattleman but they leave the hat outside for a month or they have the hat in perfect condition trying to keep it like new. Some few who have smaller heads wear the style that Le Van Cleef wore in the 1960's and that Woody's sister wore with the fringe popular on women of Millennial and early Z/Zoomer age. I have lived in South Dakota since Jan 1st, 2001and I recently in 2021 got a hat in the pinched Catlemen that had the real pointy front brim design with the sharp corners, I had to bend parts of it so the hat was not as sharp on the corners as I hate the sharp look and bent the front to be in a light kicker style due to wind in South Dakota as the felt or soft straw hats end up this way. Women they like the style with the wire in them that are floppy straw so they can really shape the thing to the head often with a strap with people more Those younger then millennial in Z/Zoomer the men love wearing the Hooey Trucker caps over anything else including other hats in similar style to the Hooey hats. I also have a cotton camo outback flat top style hat with side buttons more for the strap and wind since 2004 as even a cowboy hat will fly off in the wind around South Dakota and I sometimes even need to not have sides down.
Fun vid. I'm partial to a Denver Crush Crease on a felt working hat, 'cause that's what they always seem to end up with anyway. Thanks for the vid, I'll look for part 2.
Hey Chuck! Thank you so much for the info on this video. It's really helping me along with learning about hats since I'm new. I gotta ask though. Do you guys sell the very hat you're wearing in this video? I really like it.
Hey Chuck, my hat fits but pretty tight. How is it supposed to fit cause wind ain't blowing this thing off! It's a s##t kicker or go to hell hat... my favorite! Need a new one though. 7 1/8 is what I got, so should there be any wiggle room like 7 3/8? Or 7 1/4? I want to order from ya'll, nice black beaver... any advice?
I tend to wear baseball caps most of the time and watch caps in the winter (in New England). I never bought a cowboy hat, western style or fedora because I don't know anything about them. Now, I know a little more. Thanks and I'll be watching more of your videos.
Was watchin Yellowstone S5 thinking I don't know how to choose a hat for a lifestyle I've loved and admired my entire life. Howdy🤠 combatvet 👋🏾 from south central los Angeles and south Carolina
I have a flat hat with flat crown like a vaquero. It falls off when I ride and the front and back are turned down. What do I do? Wish I could show you a picture.
The Multiversal Faction, The Top Hat Society, will allow any kind of hard crowned hat, as long as it's either a Flat, Round, or Pointed crown with no Creases (AKA, Top Hat Society like Open Crowned Hats). There are exceptions like a Pork Pie hat for example which has the Telescope or Gambler crease which is accepted in the Top Hat Society.
I just bought a Resistol self-conforming 7X hat with what looks like a "Gus" crease but is shallow and has 2 small bumps running the full length of the Gus crease. Its a very light hat and very stiff. Does anyone know what the name or names that this hat would have. Thanks for the help
So what brand and style hat does toby keith wear in the music video as good as I once was? One is black and the other is neutral. And what hat can u curl up on the sides?
Thanks for the video. Excellent information. I enjoyed watching it. Can you please do a video on the cowboy hat brim shapes specifically? Most of them a so wide and sharp creases nowadays. I prefer something in the middle. Wider than old days, but not too wide, and no sharp creases.
The cattle man's crease and the Montana crease are designed to allow.the hat to be removed from the head by grasping it at the top with the first three fingers of the hand. This allows the hat to be removed without pulling on the brim, which eventually makes the brim bend upward and lose.its stiffness where it meets the crown. This is true of.most mens hats except the bowler, which does not have a crown crease.
Huh interesting I found this video. Me personally I've been wearing open crown hats since the 80's starting my buckskinning growth if you will . Very early days of my youth was what I call the Marty Robbins gun fighter hat. Later I must admit I fell into the goat roper hat( AKA the urban cowboy fade🙄) so not knowing if you are in business or not, lately I been interested in Stetson line of buffalo felt hats. All I have found is already shaped offerings. Now we both know I can aquire one and steam n reshape back to open, but prefer to start out from square one open crown. I do some of my own minor shaping of the brim. But after that I prefer the hat to develop its own personality. I did a video myself on how to measure the sand of a real cowboy. Must admit that I messed up the best part through editing. In which I used what I call the Campbell soup effect. If hand in question is dark faced, but when he takes his hat off, n from the bridge of his nose up is pasties white well he or she has earned there sand. An old hand out of Wyoming Mountain man
Cowboy hats are stylish and a great way to protect your face and neck from the sun. Everyone on earth should be wearing a cowboy hat. They protect you from skin cancer. I've been wearing cowboy hats for more than 60 years. I currently have 6 cowboy hats because I lost a few over the years. The last one I lost was down in Mexico when I was driving along the spine of the sierra mountain range and a big wind came up and snatched that hat off my head; but, perhaps that's a story I should tell at another time.

Western hats are amazing
You gotta have the boots too man

I bought a Stetson pinch crushsble. Pops right back in shape. Wear for work or a night out. Nice comfortable, good lookn hat. Very satisfied.
That Open Crown hat instantly brings Hoss Cartwright to mind!
Walker in Yellowstone!!

drill sergant was meant to man you up for war.

Just got my first custom cowboy hat at 56 years old from Hamblin Hats in Ault Colorado. If you are around, swing in. They are great.
I love the Montana/Gus shape. The hat stays on my head in windy weather and blocks the sun at a single point but doesn't completely block my front vision.

It's what my grandpa wore when young, later got stylish.

I will be looking for the gentmans crown but on the 4 and 3 quarter inch brim and I want the full open back but the front to come more pointed
Thank you, sir. I could listen to you all day. Love all your knowledge and passion for the hat.
I love how much goes into some small, almost unimportant-feeling things. This video reminds me of some English gentleman (Lindybeige, I think) talking about "Scholar's cradles" - those hand positions educated folks make when giving a speech.

Native Texan here, unimportant, I don’t believe you would say that if you were experience in the Texas Sun and July and or August hell especially August
Appreciate how you got into practical aspects like wind, climbing through a fence, etc.
How about rain and something like the Brick not shedding?
Well you might start out with a cattleman style crease but over time depending on how you take it off, it will get more and more pinched at the front.
A year late, but you should handle these hats by the brim.
8 months late, but you shouldn’t hold the hat by the brim but instead by the crown.
Great work and I definitely enjoy learning more about western hats from your channel. Keep up the great work 👍
Excellent information on cowboy hats! Loved Lonesome Dove!! I like the Gentlemen's Hat!
I think it would be fun to review the great movie cowboy hats of the 30's and their popularity.
The wide brim in front is a recent thing, a change from the original more pointed front brmn, which got that way from taking the hat off and putting it on.
I impulsively bought a leather front pinch gentleman's hat. Love it

I'm a fan of a pinch front or diamond, with a u-curve
Love the brick style with a bow from front to back with a bit of curl to the sides..
love my straw for summer heat and felt in winter…
The Gus crease has always been my favorite.
Gus & open crown are my favorite styles. Awesome video
The gentleman's hat at the end, l need one!
I do like the look of that Diamond Jim. Love to have one of those in black or smoky grey.

Question : why do cowboys not have a strap/string to help hold their hats on while in wind (ala: Rowdy Yates)?
I like the teardrop style with a rounded curve in the front, but real flat
Nice. I learned a lot a today. Thanks for the lesson.
Good job.
How popular are the curled brim hats?
I think you would find some of the Australian Akubra hats interesting if you want to see some australian hat culture and shapes!!!

Nice explanation of Cowboy 🤠 hats...
Are all the crowns built the same length and shaped to look smaller? Id like a 4” to 4-3/16” crown. Any suggestions?
I tend to wear baseball caps most of the time and watch caps in the winter (in New England). I never bought a cowboy hat, western style or fedora because I don't know anything about them. Now, I know a little more. Thanks and I'll be watching more of your videos.
Was watchin Yellowstone S5 thinking I don't know how to choose a hat for a lifestyle I've loved and admired my entire life. Howdy🤠 combatvet 👋🏾 from south central los Angeles and south Carolina
I appreciate you immensely chuck thank you! Could you perhaps tell me what shape of hat Doc Holliday wore?
I have a flat hat with flat crown like a vaquero. It falls off when I ride and the front and back are turned down. What do I do? Wish I could show you a picture.
What about the ashtray crease like the buckaroo uses?
I'm just getting into cowboy hats. What is the feather with a jemstone in the middle and goes to the
Front of the hat called?
Thanks.
The Multiversal Faction, The Top Hat Society, will allow any kind of hard crowned hat, as long as it's either a Flat, Round, or Pointed crown with no Creases (AKA, Top Hat Society like Open Crowned Hats). There are exceptions like a Pork Pie hat for example which has the Telescope or Gambler crease which is accepted in the Top Hat Society.
I just bought a Resistol self-conforming 7X hat with what looks like a "Gus" crease but is shallow and has 2 small bumps running the full length of the Gus crease. Its a very light hat and very stiff. Does anyone know what the name or names that this hat would have. Thanks for the help
What was the name of the Crown crease on the third hat you never mentioned it?
So what brand and style hat does toby keith wear in the music video as good as I once was? One is black and the other is neutral. And what hat can u curl up on the sides?
Thanks for the video. Excellent information. I enjoyed watching it. Can you please do a video on the cowboy hat brim shapes specifically? Most of them a so wide and sharp creases nowadays. I prefer something in the middle. Wider than old days, but not too wide, and no sharp creases.
The open crown is called the Cap’n Call?
What is the new syle of hat shape called that I'm seeing a lot of the younger guys wearing that almost looks like the front of the brim is backwards??
The cattle man's crease and the Montana crease are designed to allow.the hat to be removed from the head by grasping it at the top with the first three fingers of the hand. This allows the hat to be removed without pulling on the brim, which eventually makes the brim bend upward and lose.its stiffness where it meets the crown. This is true of.most mens hats except the bowler, which does not have a crown crease.
Huh interesting I found this video. Me personally I've been wearing open crown hats since the 80's starting my buckskinning growth if you will . Very early days of my youth was what I call the Marty Robbins gun fighter hat. Later I must admit I fell into the goat roper hat( AKA the urban cowboy fade🙄) so not knowing if you are in business or not, lately I been interested in Stetson line of buffalo felt hats. All I have found is already shaped offerings.
Now we both know I can aquire one and steam n reshape back to open, but prefer to start out from square one open crown. I do some of my own minor shaping of the brim. But after that I prefer the hat to develop its own personality. I did a video myself on how to measure the sand of a real cowboy. Must admit that I messed up the best part through editing. In which I used what I call the Campbell soup effect. If hand in question is dark faced, but when he takes his hat off, n from the bridge of his nose up is pasties white well he or she has earned there sand. An old hand out of Wyoming

Good video. thanks. Learn something new every day.
Love that “ShadyBrady” with that band. Gotta get me one.
@Cultured Cowboy At 7:40 you are holding a much smaller hat, what is that type called?
Great video! Lots of fun to know what’s behind the brim…
What hat are you wearing? I like the color and the honey comb venting. Thanks.
The Gus crease is very similar to the crease that's popular among cavalrymen.
I rock a self shaped Gambler crown.
Headed to a cowboy formal get together. I'll be wearing a black suit and some nice exotic boots. What color and shape hat should I get ??
Cowboy hats are stylish and a great way to protect your face and neck from the sun. Everyone on earth should be wearing a cowboy hat. They protect you from skin cancer. I've been wearing cowboy hats for more than 60 years. I currently have 6 cowboy hats because I lost a few over the years. The last one I lost was down in Mexico when I was driving along the spine of the sierra mountain range and a big wind came up and snatched that hat off my head; but, perhaps that's a story I should tell at another time.
Well done! Great description of all the styles available
Love the video brother. Where you all located?
I bought a resistol straw hat, can they be reshaped? I bought it in cattlemen style
Nice video, we enjoy watching them.
