On this episode of the Hat Makers Podcast we're chatting with Willee Roberts from Hampui Hats.

Based out of San Francisco, California, Willee’s hat making journey began with a pilgrimage to South America.

From sitting along side traditional Bolivian hatters, to working for the Goorin Brothers Hat Co, from learning the craft for himself to now working with furriers to create the highest quality hat bodies, Willee has lived and breathed the Hatters path for over a decade.

Willee sees his hats as a tool for transformation, serving as a vehicle for inner healing.

I found Willee’s words to be wise and enlightening and Im sure you will too on this episode of the Hat Makers Podcast.
