Restoring A Tattered 70-Year-Old Heirloom Hat | Refurbished | Insider
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- Eldrick Jacobs of Flint & Port Hat Co. walks us through how he repairs a tattered, 70-year-old Resistol hat, that has been passed down three generations while maintaining its character. The process includes cleaning the felt, re-blocking the hat to fit the client's head, trimming the brim, and re-crowning the hat to its original shape. Although there is a hole in the crown of the hat, the client opted for the hole to be preserved, to carry on the story of the hat and keep the memory of its previous wearers. By restoring this hat, the hat is being made to last another 70 years or so, with minimal maintenance needed.

Restoring A Tattered 70 Year Old Heirloom Hat | Refurbished | Insider
As a mechanic, the Pusher Downer is now my new favorite tool name
Came here looking for that comment. Lol
You know he made that up hahah
I use a 3/8 wobble when I have to access tight spaces with a socket. 😂
Nice to see this repaired and not just thrown away but mostly it was nice to see the skills of a true professional at work.
This guy needs a UA-cam channel specifically for hat restoration and repair. I'd watch it.
I as well
I would love to follow this .! So interesting! .. a. LOT OF HATS I could restore.
Same!
Excellent flow in the video. Taught very well. The speaking was very clear and concise with not a lot if rambling on. This young man defined what he was doing, how he was doing it and what he was using to achieve the goal. I enjoy the no-nonsense approach to learning from such wonderful artisans as this milliner. Thank you for being a super resource to help me as I work to restore customers hats.
Wow ur a bloody magician! You maintained just the right patina while the hat looks nice and fresh again. That's a 300$ piece now! And I love how chunky your sweatband is - will indeed provide some structural integrity as you said! Simply awesome job😎‼️
And you're a great narrator as well btw!
Hey guys who were ignorant, the client wanted the hole.
yeah they clearly said so i dont know why everyones questioning it! i personally like the hole too
And even after the restoration, the hole adds character. I like it
Love the hole or buy a new one.
hello , beautiful , meticulous work but i would have left the brim the same.........great job , great share . thank you , for sharing.........🥰🥰🥰🥰.....
I didn't know about how Rubbing Alcohol or denatured Alcohol helps restore Fur Felt. I'm sure that was expensive to do yet,it looks like a very cool Hat now. I can tell you love Hats,thank you!
Now I’m kind of curious to know how the hole was formed. I would’ve asked for it to be mended.
Taking the hat off and on pulling in the crown tip wears a hole. Your supposed to use the brim and lift.
@@heyitsjunior7870 good to know
I thought the guy got shot
Was looking forward to seeing how you mend that hole 😔
Hats need a comeback, I'm trynna upgrade from my baseball cap, but I would look goofy out there in the streets with a cowboy hat.
Confidence my friend. That will make or break u.
Cowboy hats aren't goofy. If you like it, wear it.
Hello Great video , just wondering as I am faced and in the midst of an hole in my hat in the crown , what is the best way to fix it , IE; so far covering it with a matching color from the out side and sewing it down looks obvious and too much fabric . I thought to try having it patched from the inside , using a patch just a little bit bigger than the hole but very difficult to sew , would a little glue work ? Can you please advise or have you a video on that ? My hat is a vintage fur felt men's fedora I bought over 30 years ago in Chelsea New York City in an antique shop and second hand store. There is no one who does this work where I live in SW Florida I have a friend who helping me and they don't have the hat restoration tools. Thanks Liam
“Pusher downer”! 😂 ❤
Wow, beautiful restoration. I’m sure the owner was thrilled!!
Excellent Job! .. I d like to learn to do this .
i’m jealous i got a stetson that looks like that and i always get compliments on it. super cool
I love this artistry! I wonder how much you can resize a hat!
I was really liking the look of the (open crown) hat until he pinched the crown & created a tear drop and made it look like 99.999% of every other hat out there. I literally yell “NOOO” at the screen.
I rarely see anyone wear a Traditional Hat like this One in fact almost never cause most People are scared to be American Individuals anymore. Be brave and wear what you like!
Everyone needs a good pusher downer! Great work, sir!
Thank you for the update, Insider..!! Great work..!! 👍
Nice work. Great craftsmanship!!
This was nice to watch but I felt like he trimmed off a little too much of the brim it looked very short to me. Also I thought he might stain the hat's felt to make it more lively
The hat did have that Hill Billy charm though...Nice work bro.
How do you stiffen a felt hat ?
The brim is foppy . I want it flat..
so the hole？
Does pulling on the brim like he does when putting the hat on the “head” damage the hat in any way
Where are you located I have some hat's I would like to get done
I wanted to know how the hole would be fixed but sadly....
Beautiful work!
Cutting the brim in my opinion was super unnecessary
Great job! That was awesome to watch.
Need to send my father's hat to him...
Super cool! I love that old hat!
How much does it cost for what you just did to that hat??
Cost me around $50 to reblock and shape after a bull stomped it. Will need a sweatband next season amd for a better quality band it runs around $70. That's at my local hat shop
I would assume that most Hatters would want $250.00 for that Service especially for the amount of Time he spent on bringing it back to Life again. You gotta admit the Hatter did a fantastic job on it. It shines now!
Beautifully done!
You are another excellent source insight in the hat world!!!
What a trade! You have a website to send hats?
Can a cracked up leather hat be fixed and restored?
nobody is talking about the bullet sized hole in the hat
Owner took a headshot??
I never understood how you can get material clean without washing it, the years of dirt and sweat is impregnated throughout the material. When you wash your clothes in a washing machine you see how dirty the water is.
When I send my suit to the dry cleaners and they say they just spot clean a suit I know that my sweat and dirt is not being removed.
If there's something I don't understand please explain.
is there any way to fix a hole in a western style hat?
a "pusher-downer" is what this jawn is called
Nicely done . Thank you for your time
Damn I wanted to see the client’s reaction
That was cool…I agree this guy needs a you tube
Pretty amazing revival.
Waiting for the hat to scream "Griffindor" 😂legit looks like a sorting hat
Outstanding.
Is that hole from a gun shot??
Man I need help with my hat
Only clicked on this to message, I luv yr Foret accent
Neat video, but why wasn't the hole fixed?
Wants to maintain the character it gained over the years, 20 seconds later destroys all character it gain over the years... Nice one... Really nice.
Well, "character" is an abstract term that means different things to the eye of the beholder.
The hat had obviously gone through a lot of abuse via negligence. It had probably been smushed in a closet or drawer for decades, and thus looked more like a lump of felt rather than anything like it's original form.
The artisan and/or client obviously thought the the "character" of the hat was... the patina of the felt, the outer-band, and the hole (probably created by grabbing the hat by the crown; though I think I speak for everyone when I say we all hope it's actually from a bullet hole that just missed the head.)
The lumpy shape it had gotten, from being stuffed wherever it was, was obviously not an important part of its character, and perhaps it might not even be possible to determine what shape it originally was. (Though usually the shape of the patina lets you know.) (UPDATE: The video synopsis says it was restored to its original shape.)
I don't think him changing the shape is a big deal, because the thing about a good felt hat is that the shape is changeable. So the next generation that gets the hat can change the shape again. The thing that can't be changed however, was the brim size. Him cutting so much of that off was the only thing in his process that made me sad.
But, it's not my hat. It belongs to the descendant of the original owner.
And what is life about, if not reshaping what the past has given us into something that fits us?
I wonder, what was the story behind the hat? My imagination is all over the place.
AMAZING...........
He's a master in 3+ years? Ok great.
He sees the sweat band by hand?there are def machines for that. That's so much work, love a good craftsmanship though
Majestic!!
Fantastic skills, great job 👍
❤
Loved it until the crown was shaped... now I just like it
Amazing
Wow amazing work!
Great skill, great work!
Where's this guy's accent from?
Hole HaT.
I'm very uncomfortable w the fact that he used fabric scissors to cut the sandpaper. Nope. Just. Nope.
Apparently you're able to sharpen scissors by cutting sandpaper so it might not be as bad as you think.
Same
Whine and snivel
Very very nice good job
I suddenly want a nice hat. Algorithm!!!
Love this.
Black Excellence ✊🏽
Amei!
Well done sir
Awsome
What about the hole?
That Hole took a long Time to happen plus it gives the Hat Character for sure. I would be proud to wear that Hat. Distressed Hats are very fashionable now too.
Heck yeah bloody awesome cheers
Anything but slytherin
Then, better be... GRYFFINDOR!
