Five Danish Hat Makers?

[feltfan]

Just stumbled across this video:

It may not be what we would call a proper fedora, but an
interesting video nonetheless. Apologies if someone posted it here
and I missed it.

Anyone know who the other four hat makers might be and if
any of them produce a good product?

There have been a few discussions about that hat, and the style police came out in force. I kind of like it, but couldn't see spending the money for it. I hadn't watched the video, so thanks for posting it. Anything with that homemade feel is nice.

Not sure if I like the hat or not, it is nifty though. But I definately like that he keeps hatters employed using the same skills.

I take that as a 'U...' or maybe even a 'UN..' ...chuckle

I wouldn't even get as far as 'U' on that hat but I love to watch a hat maker working his craft!

This hat maker is/are Andersen & Berner, in Copenhagen.
I don't think they make any "good" hats- mostly wool, I believe
and a lot of prop type hats. Woolen Bowlers, etc.

Reviving this thread as I stumbled across the same video as the OP did on my own. After watching it searched the Lounge to see if a thread already existed, hence reviving this thread.

Link to video:

Seeing the technique is what interests me most. I have yet to use a hat block/flange combination that requires trimming prior to removal. I don't own any block/flange combination that would allow me to do that...yet.

Interesting little clip. There's one on youtube as well, more or less the same (but without subtitles). It seems they are still around:

We have someone in our midst who can check them out: @Steve1857 could make an appointment

They are indeed still around, Stefan. My first Bowler was from them. It was bought by some colleagues of mine when I left a teaching job back in 1997.
