What do you get when a real estate attorney visiting China on a research mission falls in love? Unique stylized handmade hats done in small batches brought to the American market utilizing designs of manager, owner and existing models. They are all there; the colorful sombrero, refined Sunday go to meetin, bejewelled fedora and Hawaiian cowboy. The piece de resistance is the fold up flat hat. There are also plenty of wide brimmed floppies perfect for the beach and to beat this Florida sun. Owner Geoffrey Mintz decided to stay in China and woo his future fiance; proposing at a Buddhist temple in Thailand. Their travels through Southeast Asia have spawned this innovative venture bringing the best of high quality hats to these shores. Manager Bruce came on board when he answered a Craigslist ad. The website refers to the age old wisdom of protecting our heads attributed to Winston Churchill "First we shape our hats and afterwards our hats shape us."
