Just found this video. We were down there 2 weeks ago and Andy took care of my wife and I. He is a great guy for sure. He did my sons hats last year and they are still perfect after daily wear plus the proper care of course. Love American Hats. (I would suggest that for another video that the microphone get a little smaller)
Nothing compares to a actual custom hat fitted to your head. This was just a bend and mold video. At the end guy gave the hat a last steam and when dude smooshed it down on his head, guy shaping the hat about had a heart attack. Never push down on crown until hat is fully cooled lmfao.
Hello sir! 100x is pure beaver fur felt. It is top of the line. Beaver has microscopic barbs in each hair which makes it knit tighter during the felting process and ironing process during the manufacture of the hat. The lower quality hats are made from rabbit fur and they are great but don't have the knitting properties of the beaver. A beaver blend is a step up and alot better. The 500x hats are made from the belly furs only which is reserved for these hats. This is a higher quality fur and makes a much lighter and tighter knit felt. Just a step higher in feel, comfort and water resistance is all. This has been a tradition in hatmaking that goes back hundreds of years. Have a good day!
@@byronwalker7223 Hi Byron! I'm a custom hatter in Kentucky. I make high quality felt and straw hats everyday. Been at it for over twenty years. I do what I love and am thankful to get to do so! Have a great day my friend!
"No two beavers are the same." Truer words were never spoken. 😉
Great job, love the hat and shaper. Good information.
That hat came out perfect 👍🏽 right on the money!
Qq❤
Glad I found this video, now I know where I’m gonna get my first real high end hat
He got a lot of patience!
I got my straw from Ryan and my felt from Andy. Two different trips all the way from Missouri
I’ll be going to this store to buy my next straw all the way from Mississippi.
I wear a Stetson Paradise 20X for every day. I got it trained just right. I'm planning a trip down to the best hat store soon
I want a 500 X
The most quality hats come from The Best Hat Store!
I liked the video and loved the hat, but that dang microphone🎤 was just in the way. The hat looked great--good job.
Next time your in The Best Hat Store tell ol Jace one of your viewers says hello. I need to get up there and get me a new 5” brim silverbelly.
Andy is the best.
Agreed! Hes a true professional.

Nobody has ever answered how many X's do you need to get 100% pure beaver felt?
I'm in the market for a bit 500x beaver hat ( ? Much $$$ ) !
It’s called: Buy once, cry once…
That’s when you buy anything that needs to be quality and it needs to last.
So what was the price of that hat?
$1,000.00 +
These steamers have a lot of steam mine is less?
I have a 100000000000X hat.
Came here to say the same but mine is infinity x's
@@SameToken777 I recently place an order for a Rand's hat in Billings. It's 100% beaver; however many X's that is.
It SHOULD be against the law for a car Salesman to
wear a " white " hat ( they're supposed to be for the " good Guys " ) !!!!?
Don't know where this 500X crap comes from. The standard was always 100X was the best. All that other is crap.
