Cowboy Hats in History - Hat making The brim is cut to the customers desired width before finishing. The brims are greased and pounced many rounds, using very fine sandpaper to achieve the proper finish. D-machines are used to grease and pounce the crowns. This is the finishing operation where the felt is sanded down to create a very smooth and fine finish for the felt hat. A specially mixed powder, matched to the hat color, is hand rubbed into the body to enhance and even the tone. Crown press machines are used to shape the crowns. Steam is used to restore the smooth finish and to clean the hat in the inspection line before a sewing machine is used to sew the lining into the hat. Boxes uniquely designed to protect the hat in transit receive the finished
product. |
