Cody Johnson collection felt hat with rounded brick crown and Sahara Tan Hatband with silver 3-piece buckle set

There are over 200 steps that go into making every fur-felt Resistol hat. And everyone of those steps happens in the USA. Resistol is the only company in the United States that takes raw fur and turns it into a finished hat. We start with rabbit, beaver, and wild hare’s fur sourced from all over the world and bring it down to Longview Texas where we go through a multi-step rigorous process of cleaning and mixing the fur.

After being cleaned and mixed, our fur blends are blown into the forming chamber where the thin fur fibers felt together. A thin burlap cloth is placed around the felt where it will go through additional steps to continue the felting process.

Through the felting process, the hat bodies shrink to 1/3 their size. Each Resistol fur-felt hat gets dyed, sanded, stretched, and blocked before being sent to our finishing plant in Garland Texas.
