Its amazing just how many people were involved and how much labor it took to make one hat!

For sure! I have a few "vintage" Stetsons from the '40s and always wonder how many hands it passed through from its "creation" to its present day owner (me).

Great stills. Thanks for sharing!

I just found out Crofut & Knapp made a similar film around 1926 called "Your Hat and Mine." Maybe that one will turn up someday!
