0:21 - 0:23The beaches are beautiful
The swaying palmtrees are wonderful -
0:24 - 0:27However there's a deep rich history here
-
0:27 - 0:30We are a place with a very vibrant
indigenous culture -
0:31 - 0:34I find that to be a hugely
enriching aspect of life -
0:36 - 0:38It's special, it's Hawaii

the location of the shop -

Panama Hats in the world -
1:09 - 1:12They come out of the town of
Montecristi in Ecuador -
1:13 - 1:14And they've been woven there
-
1:14 - 1:15By the artisans
-
1:15 - 1:18For literally hundreds of years
-
1:18 - 1:19You're seeing predominantly fedoras
-
1:20 - 1:23But because they're all hand woven,
They're all slightly different -
1:23 - 1:26Years ago gentlemen used to go
To haberdashery -
1:26 - 1:28His job was to fit the gentlemen
With a proper hat -
1:29 - 1:31And we carry on that kind of a tradition
-
1:34 - 1:36This space was created because
-
1:37 - 1:39I had an overflow collection of vintage
-
1:39 - 1:43I've been collecting
whenever it speaks to me -
1:43 - 1:44whether it fits me or not
-
Not Syncedso that's why I'm sharing

Not Syncedotherwise if they fit me all,
they wouldn't be yours -
