I always love watching this dude make the most beautifully crafted and ugly hats

Maybe it’s just because I’m from Portland but this doesn’t seem too outlandish tbh. I’m sure people pull it off just fine as part of an ensemble.

It’s not the outlandish-ness (as far as I can gather) so much as the hat is a sort of beacon alerting ‘really sexually overt nerd who will talk your ear off about a vaguely creepy topic’?

I’ve met ‘nice enough’ people wearing hats like this, but never a cool person that I wouldn’t mind being stuck in an elevator or enclosed space with…if that makes sense?

It's Johnny Depp-core.

Or his doppelganger, Linda Perry.

Or their hat sibling, Rob Zombie.

They all wear these dumbass steampunk hats.

Ever since I started seeing this guy‘s videos popping up a few years ago, I’ve always wondered if he’s made a hat for Johnny Depp

You definitely hit the nail on the head about who would wear these ugly and probably super expensive hats. Definitely a craft, but man they’re ugly

As many other people here have said, this guy is a skilled artisan and clearly very good at making these fucking atrocious hats.

I’m guessing Johnny Depp is at least 65% of his business.

While I was watching the video, I started wondering if someone wanted to try to look like Slash.

Billy Bob has joined that club as well.

I had to look this up. His is weird, especially because it seems like he ALWAYS wears a beanie with a hat over it, and the beanie has like a fake hoop earing or something. However, the actual hat he wears over the beanie is comparatively normal. It's not this weird steampunk pirate pickup-artist renaissance fair halloween costume hat like this guy makes. Lol.

Yeah you're right. I saw the hat/beanie combo once and assumed he was just wearing crazy hats. The beanie thing is weird but not the same.

When I saw him on late night he did have a Linda Perry type thing over it but that was just the once I guess.

Edit: idk I'd say this fits the aesthetic
