While many of the royal hats we admire are handmade, there are a number of wool felt hats that are individually made with the help of a few industrial machines. I thought some of you might enjoy this short (five minutes) video covering this process. I certainly learned a lot watching it. Both hats are produced by Burgess Hats; the red bowler is available for sale here and the black topper is available here.

That was very interesting! I love to see how people who know what they are doing run a sewing machine. My efforts are decidedly less smooth and polished!
Very interesting indeed, especially the part about the molds and shapes. Though I don’t mind industrial machines (I certainly couldn’t afford fully handmade hats), I remain skeptical about gluing things.
I was also a little disappointed to see the hot glue. It’s good to remember these hats retail for £24 and the level of quality will reflect that.
You’re right, it’s good to keep it in mind.
loved it thank you
