The Trunk | The Art of Manliness
The Manliest Stuff on the Internet
A great video about Alexander Conley the III, a man who’s been making custom hats the old fashioned way for 64 years. Mr. Conley reflects on how he became a hatter and his love for his craft.

My father is a master carpenter and cabinet maker so I really appreciate seeing other artisans carry on their craft and make beautiful quality products.
Thank you for posting this. As someone who is into hats, this man is a rare jewel.
My grandpa taught me this craft when I was 12-14. I’ve often wished I had time to pursue it further, because it is a fun art.
It is great to see that these craftsmen are still around. A hat store in my own small town makes hats the very same way. It is truly an art and hopefully it will continue to live on.
I want one.
