00:00:03.534 --> 00:00:06.953
[Music Plays]

00:00:07.368 --> 00:00:09.232
What's special to me about Honolulu

00:00:09.232 --> 00:00:10.994
It has to be just the way of life

00:00:11.538 --> 00:00:14.542
Things that we do to pass our time
Don't cost money

00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:15.649
You know we go on hikes

00:00:15.649 --> 00:00:19.674
We surf or we paddle board and 
it's just about enjoying what's here

00:00:20.558 --> 00:00:23.442
The beaches are beautiful
The swaying palmtrees are wonderful

00:00:24.062 --> 00:00:26.569
However there's a deep rich history here

00:00:27.032 --> 00:00:30.168
We are a place with a very vibrant
indigenous culture

00:00:30.693 --> 00:00:34.226
I find that to be a hugely
enriching aspect of life

00:00:35.582 --> 00:00:38.338
It's special, it's Hawaii
There's a fragrance to it

00:00:38.796 --> 00:00:43.592
You smell everybody's leis
plumeria and tube of roses in the air

00:00:47.924 --> 00:00:51.040
You don't worry about too much here
It's too pretty to work

00:00:51.584 --> 00:00:53.914
[Waves crashing]

00:00:59.508 --> 00:01:02.264
We're very fortunate with
the location of the shop

00:01:02.510 --> 00:01:06.104
We're nestled in the coconut grove
of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel

00:01:07.176 --> 00:01:09.446
We carry the finest 
Panama Hats in the world

00:01:09.490 --> 00:01:12.098
They come out of the town of 
Montecristi in Ecuador

00:01:12.544 --> 00:01:14.406
And they've been woven there
By the artisans

00:01:14.406 --> 00:01:16.006
For literally hundreds of years

00:01:17.514 --> 00:01:19.497
You're seeing predominantly fedoras

00:01:19.514 --> 00:01:22.604
But because they're all hand woven,
They're all slightly different

00:01:23.382 --> 00:01:25.840
Years ago gentlemen used to go
To haberdashery

00:01:25.898 --> 00:01:28.478
His job was to fit the gentlemen 
With a proper hat

00:01:28.696 --> 00:01:30.642
And we carry on that kind of a tradition

00:01:34.046 --> 00:01:36.418
This space was created because

00:01:36.698 --> 00:01:39.106
I had an overflow collection of vintage

00:01:39.478 --> 00:01:42.531
I've been collecting
whenever it speaks to me

00:01:42.936 --> 00:01:44.210
whether it fits me or not

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that's why I'm sharing

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
otherwise if they fit me all, they wouldn't be yours
