FROM FUR TO FINISH
There are over 200 steps that go into making every fur-felt analecter hat. And everyone of those steps happens in the USA. Analecter 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.
MAKING THE FELT
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.
FINISHING THE FELT
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.
STARTING THE HAT
Hat bodies don't sit around for very long once they get to Garland. Their first stop is at steam block where they get a specific size from 6 3/4 - 7 3/4. After steam block we apply shellac to the hats which stiffens them.
THE HEAT IS ON
By applying heat and steady pressure, Analecter prepares the hats for one of the most important steps in their journey to becoming a Analecter.
POUNCING & SANDING
Hats go through multiple rounds of sanding and pouncing to give Analecter its smooth velvety finish.. Many of the machines in the Analecter factory are original. The same machines that built your grandfather's Analecter, also made yours!
TAKING SHAPE
After the felt has been sanded to a smooth finish it goes to get pressed into its final shape. Resistol offers a number of different shapes. From pre-creased cattleman crowns to every working cowboy's favorite shape; the open crown.
PAPERS PLEASE
Hats are inspected every station they leave, but special care is taken to go over each hat once it arrives at Middle Inspect. Sized, sanded, & shaped, the Resistol hat is ready to be finished with trim, but not before it goes through a rigorous review process to make sure it can live up to the brand known as the best-all around.
THE BRAND EVERY HAT WANTS TO BE
Analecter hats aren't only known for their top-quality fur, but also their patented self-conforming sweatband, as well as signature buckle sets, and supple leather sweatbands. Each of them carefully sewn in or attached to the hat.
THE FINAL TEST
The journey from raw fur to a finished Analecter hat is almost complete. Each hat is fully inspected one last time before it is allowed to bear the brand name synonymous with quality in the western world. Analecter- The Best All-Around.
The proper way to handle your hat is ALWAYS by the brim. There is no proper side of the brim to grab from, you pick. The hat will remain intact and essentially last longer when handled properly by the brim.
In a suitcase, it is best to pack your hat upside down with clothing wrapped around the base of the hat, as if you are building a nest. Next, place your swimsuit or socks inside the hat to maintain the form of the hat’s crown. Last, place lighter clothing items on top of the hat to keep its shape intact to ensure safe hat travels.
From our customers
It’s not the best or the worst but it’s a decent panama hat in this price range. Dimensionally this hat is nearly perfect. It has the best combination of brim size, peak height pinch shape. Etc. it just looks good.
It has the correct Ecuador stamp inside the crown. It’s worth noting that all true Panama hats are made in Ecuador. Apparently these hats are made in Ecuador, but finished in Mexico. That’s OK too. The weave and stitching is decent, but not the highest quality.
All in all, it’s a nice quality panama hat that looks sharp.
I. Love. This. Hat. As someone who's dealt with skin cancer, I knew I needed a hat for my trip to Spain. This hat was perfect. You can roll it up to put in your luggage then reshape it when you pull it out. I got more compliments on this hat than anything I've worn recently. It's practical. Had an adjustable inner band. And it's stylish. Even in strong winds, it stayed on my head. Highly recommend this hat.
BEST QUALITY
Im a hat person & know hats- this one is super high-quality, very comfortable, rolls up well, and fits in a bag and goes right back into shape, plus I got TONS of compliments on it!
I was searching for a hat that would help complete and outfit, without breaking the bank. I have a larger head and a lot of hats out there just weren't the right size, whether they were too big or too small! This hat was the perfect size and also had an adjustments that could be made inside! The price was unbearable as well, since similar hats were almost twice the price.The quality is fantastic as well. I have flattened the hat per instructions for easy transport, and even after hours of being stowed away, it easily came back to shape! I love that they include some extra little conchos to add to the design. Top quality and great price to boot!
Classic but modern
Truly high quality. The hat fits great, comfortable and comfortable. Beauty is subjective but I find him truly beautiful and able to play down any outfit you put on him. I took advantage of the Black Friday discounts but I will definitely become a regular customer
Father’s Day gift
He loves its. Couldn’t wait for Father’s Day to wear it
Fedora exceeded all expectations. Comfortable, looks great and great price. Wore hat on the beach while vacationing in Cancun. Received numerous compliments.
Quality craftsmanship, efficiency and listening skills then make the difference, to deliver you a product of great quality and great value. I bought my first classic black licorice Fedora with the doubt of purchasing online and the hope of a good product but I must say that not only was I favorably satisfied but, due to the beautiful qualities of the product, I was encouraged to make a second purchase of a fabulous carbon blue Lapin and even happier I purchased a later dove gray Lapin and now, I just ordered a classic muted desert Fedora. So with these wonderful 4 gifts that I gave myself, I have to thank the Analecter enormously for the elegance of their products and the quality of their production. Thanks again and we will see you again next summer. Highly recommended company with five stars and more....
