Lovely Video: “We Continue in the Old Style”

Heyo, SuperForest!

As a follow-up to SuperForester Jackson’s “Frog Hat” post earlier this morning, here is a wonderful video highlighting the work of four incredible women who run Paul’s Hat Works in the Richmond district of San Francisco, CA. As described by the director, “Paul’s is a 90-year-old men’s hatter, now under the ownership of four young women. The film explores their position as women at the heart of a traditionally male-dominated business, as well as their dedication to quality, handmade goods.”

Amazing! A few years back, I remember exploring Madrid and stumbling across a hat shop very similar to Paul’s. The vibrancy and the feel of that place left me in a day-dreamish nostalgic state of mind for a while. Though I visited it several years ago, I still remember it vividly and it is a complete joy to see that places like this still exist here in the States. I’ve definitely got to check this place out next time I’m in San Francisco.
