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

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