What's special to me about Honolulu

0:00:09.232,0:00:10.994
It has to be just the way of life

0:00:11.538,0:00:14.542
Things that we do to pass our time[br]Don't cost money

0:00:14.559,0:00:15.649
You know we go on hikes

0:00:15.649,0:00:19.674
We surf or we paddle board and [br]it's just about enjoying what's here

0:00:20.558,0:00:23.442
The beaches are beautiful[br]The swaying palmtrees are wonderful

0:00:24.062,0:00:26.569
However there's a deep rich history here

0:00:27.032,0:00:30.168
We are a place with a very vibrant[br]indigenous culture

0:00:30.693,0:00:34.226
I find that to be a hugely[br]enriching aspect of life

0:00:35.582,0:00:38.338
It's special, it's Hawaii[br]There's a fragrance to it

0:00:38.796,0:00:43.592
You smell everybody's leis[br]plumeria and tube of roses in the air

0:00:47.924,0:00:51.040
You don't worry about too much here[br]It's too pretty to work

0:00:51.584,0:00:53.914
[Waves crashing]

0:00:59.508,0:01:02.264
We're very fortunate with[br]the location of the shop

0:01:02.510,0:01:06.104
We're nestled in the coconut grove[br]of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel

0:01:07.176,0:01:09.446
We carry the finest [br]Panama Hats in the world

0:01:09.490,0:01:12.098
They come out of the town of [br]Montecristi in Ecuador

0:01:12.544,0:01:14.406
And they've been woven there[br]By the artisans

0:01:14.406,0:01:16.006
For literally hundreds of years

0:01:17.514,0:01:19.497
You're seeing predominantly fedoras

0:01:19.514,0:01:22.604
But because they're all hand woven,[br]They're all slightly different

0:01:23.382,0:01:25.840
Years ago gentlemen used to go[br]To haberdashery

0:01:25.898,0:01:28.478
His job was to fit the gentlemen [br]With a proper hat

0:01:28.696,0:01:30.642
And we carry on that kind of a tradition

0:01:34.046,0:01:36.418
This space was created because

0:01:36.698,0:01:39.106
I had an overflow collection of vintage

0:01:39.478,0:01:42.531
I've been collecting[br]whenever it speaks to me

0:01:42.936,0:01:44.210
whether it fits me or not

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so that's why I'm sharing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
otherwise if they fit me all, they wouldn't be yours
