It was on How's it Made, on the Science Channel. The last segment of the episode in question was on authentic Stetson hats.

OK, here is a link, you can watch it at your leasure.

So cool

This is not the actual show I was watching, bummer but it is good. It does not show the entire show, from loose fibers to a finished stetson cowboy hat. I will keep looking to see if the show is posted in its entirety.

Thanks!

They're re-running it again later tonight.

Yes, I see, in 2 hours.

This show is better than the link I provided above. The above link is too brief. The show goes into much more detail.

I didn't know about the Science Channel website. Thanks for the link! :cool2:

I caught the midnight airing. It was pretty interesting all around.

There is a pretty good video on the Stetson web site - in the History tab, go to 'The making of a Stetson hat'.
