Hats as Fashion Accessories

hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be taking
a look at the hat making process okay so
how did we make ahead what kind of
fabric are we starting with you have
different quality of thought that you
could use you could use either fur fail
which is the finest quality of hats and
then you have wool felt which is an
average type of quality of hats the way
it works is that basically you take the
cone and you shape it onto a form first
we wet the hat this is actually the
steam you have to carefully carefully
stretch it you could see the steam goes
through and this is actually what’s
going to give its final shape attach the
edge in order to be able to sew the edge
of the brain close it and this is how
the hut is going to fully be shaped and
here is the Hat in its final shape when
you use a finer material the same work
that we have done on the blocking
machine we could basically do it just on
the wood block and we’re going to get
exactly the same result and that’s what
people have been doing for 100 of years
at ophelie the trimming is really
important since we were doing hair
accessories we known for intricate very
time-consuming type of little flowers
first we perforate the leaf and then we
shape it and then the magic occurs with
Xena who’s going to assemble together
the flour with the leaf and mounting
them on the Hat no secrets it’s very
very labor-intensive and it’s all made
by hand
