Finally bought my 1st real hat. An Akubra Blue Mountain rabbit fur hat. Really nice hat. I really like the KTG hats. Just need to decide between the Galaxie & New Yorker. I am really leaning toward a wider brim Open Road style hat. The standard 2 3/4" is a little to narrow for my taste. A 4 1/4-4 1/2" crown with a 3- 3 1/4" brin might be the right one. The New Yorker in Silverbelly or the Olive/ Sudan might work. A nice tan/ caramel or coffee may also be nice offerings.
They are really interesting. I heard some good stuff about them. They know their IJ hats! I am working on my first IJ design now, the Venturer, it comes open crown. But it’s easy to shape without steam.
@KTGHATS Advintage (Thomas) does great Indiana Jones hats, also have 2 from him. I ordered the Skypiece a few days ago 🤠 and your IJ hats sounds great. We'll see .... 👍🤠👍
So hats made today can’t be rolled up like in all the videos you made showing how to roll them up and stash them? I never thought about that. And that $5600 western beaver hat, what is up with that? I saw the 1000x Beaver but tell me more about what that means. Now I don’t like my 100x Rodeo King so much 😢. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵🚴♀️🐾💚
It’s just a way to squeeze more money out of the public. Some marketing guy came up with the idea to go beyond 200x.. 100x is pure beaver, after that, they start adding chinchilla and stuff to the felt, and trim it with gold, diamonds and rubies.. there’s a fancy a case for it, a COA, etc. it’s much like a $40k custom shop axe.. there’s craftsmanship, but like Fenders,Gibsons, Stetsons are American classics..there’s absolutely zero substitutes for many people…so they can set their own prices. If they say 100x costs this, and 500X costs that, and 1000x costs so and so, they set it high on purpose to make it unobtainable for 99% of the public, that’s the idea. Made of genuine chinchilla and beaver & features a 14K gold buckle set with 26 genuine diamonds and a leather carrying case. The diamonds are so small, they seem worthless, but yeah, 26 stones,gold buckle set, chinchilla body , leather case.. they could have set the price at half that, but then they might actually sell some.
Great video Kev
Thank you for watching, appreciate it
@@KTGHATS My pleasure my treasure
Always interesting Kevin.
Thank you Clifford

Happy holidays! 9 more shopping days!
I love my Stylemaster.
You have great taste. What’s not to like? those colors are great, the styling, the quality..durability..
Nice hat 👍
I know what you mean Kevin because as you know, the Valencia 99% beaver one percent mink I don’t know just a guess but it feels amazingly soft
Are they 1% mink? i don’t remember the breakdown, or if I ever knew the breakdown. but my memory is not very keen
You know, I don’t think anybody knows for sure. I’m assuming that’s probably correct or at least close. You know more than me.

@ That’s a very sad statement about marketing ☹️.
Hi I tried to place an order on your website but I couldn't, I'm interested in buying a hat
