[Music Plays]

00:00:07,368 --> 00:00:09,232
What's special to me about Honolulu

3
00:00:09,232 --> 00:00:10,994
It has to be just the way of life

4
00:00:11,538 --> 00:00:14,542
Things that we do to pass our time
Don't cost money

5
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:15,649
You know we go on hikes

6
00:00:15,649 --> 00:00:19,674
We surf or we paddle board and 
it's just about enjoying what's here

7
00:00:20,558 --> 00:00:23,442
The beaches are beautiful
The swaying palmtrees are wonderful

8
00:00:24,062 --> 00:00:26,569
However there's a deep rich history here

9
00:00:27,032 --> 00:00:30,168
We are a place with a very vibrant
indigenous culture

10
00:00:30,693 --> 00:00:34,226
I find that to be a hugely
enriching aspect of life

11
00:00:35,582 --> 00:00:38,338
It's special, it's Hawaii
There's a fragrance to it

12
00:00:38,796 --> 00:00:43,592
You smell everybody's leis
plumeria and tube of roses in the air

13
00:00:47,924 --> 00:00:51,040
You don't worry about too much here
It's too pretty to work

14
00:00:51,584 --> 00:00:53,914
[Waves crashing]

15
00:00:59,508 --> 00:01:02,264
We're very fortunate with
the location of the shop

16
00:01:02,510 --> 00:01:06,104
We're nestled in the coconut grove
of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel

17
00:01:07,176 --> 00:01:09,446
We carry the finest 
Panama Hats in the world

18
00:01:09,490 --> 00:01:12,098
They come out of the town of 
Montecristi in Ecuador

19
00:01:12,544 --> 00:01:14,406
And they've been woven there
By the artisans

20
00:01:14,406 --> 00:01:16,006
For literally hundreds of years

21
00:01:17,514 --> 00:01:19,497
You're seeing predominantly fedoras

22
00:01:19,514 --> 00:01:22,604
But because they're all hand woven,
They're all slightly different

23
00:01:23,382 --> 00:01:25,840
Years ago gentlemen used to go
To haberdashery

24
00:01:25,898 --> 00:01:28,478
His job was to fit the gentlemen 
With a proper hat

25
00:01:28,696 --> 00:01:30,642
And we carry on that kind of a tradition

26
00:01:34,046 --> 00:01:36,418
This space was created because

27
00:01:36,698 --> 00:01:39,106
I had an overflow collection of vintage

28
00:01:39,478 --> 00:01:42,531
I've been collecting
whenever it speaks to me

29
00:01:42,936 --> 00:01:44,210
whether it fits me or not
