Use the chart below to determine your hat size based on the measurement you take.FROM FUR TO FINISH
There are over 200 steps that go into making every fur-felt Soulhatter hat. And everyone of those steps happens in the USA. Soulhatter is the only company in the United States that takes raw fur and turns it into a finished hat. We start with rabbit, beaver, and wild hare's fur sourced from all over the world and bring it down to Longview Texas where we go through a multi-step rigorous process of cleaning and mixing the fur.
MAKING THE FELT
After being cleaned and mixed, our fur blends are blown into the forming chamber where the thin fur fibers felt together. A thin burlap cloth is placed around the felt where it will go through additional steps to continue the felting process.
FINISHING THE FELT
Through the felting process, the hat bodies shrink to 1/3 their size. Each Soulhatter fur-felt hat gets dyed, sanded, stretched, and blocked before being sent to our finishing plant in Garland Texas.
STARTING THE HAT
Hat bodies don't sit around for very long once they get to Garland. Their first stop is at steam block where they get a specific size from 6 3/4 - 7 3/4. After steam block we apply shellac to the hats which stiffens them.
THE HEAT IS ON
By applying heat and steady pressure, Soulhatter prepares the hats for one of the most important steps in their journey to becoming a Soulhatter.
POUNCING & SANDING
Hats go through multiple rounds of sanding and pouncing to give Soulhatter its smooth velvety finish.. Many of the machines in the Soulhatter factory are original. The same machines that built your grandfather's Resistol, also made yours!
TAKING SHAPE
After the felt has been sanded to a smooth finish it goes to get pressed into its final shape. Soulhatter offers a number of different shapes. From pre-creased cattleman crowns to every working cowboy's favorite shape; the open crown.
PAPERS PLEASE
Hats are inspected every station they leave, but special care is taken to go over each hat once it arrives at Middle Inspect. Sized, sanded, & shaped, the Soulhatter hat is ready to be finished with trim, but not before it goes through a rigorous review process to make sure it can live up to the brand known as the best-all around.
THE BRAND EVERY HAT WANTS TO BE
Soulhatter hats aren't only known for their top-quality fur, but also their patented self-conforming sweatband, as well as signature buckle sets, and supple leather sweatbands. Each of them carefully sewn in or attached to the hat.
THE FINAL TEST
The journey from raw fur to a finished Soulhatter hat is almost complete. Each hat is fully inspected one last time before it is allowed to bear the brand name synonymous with quality in the western world. Soulhatter - The Best All-Around.
