Update: 2025-12-28
Description
Nineteen-year-old James Anderson from Luton, Britains hat capital, is reviving a 250-year-old tradition by crafting classic straw boaters in his garage. Using antique machines, he produces about twenty hats a month, selling them across the UK and abroad. After failing to find a traditional boater for himself, James learned the craft to keep the skill alive, now being the only active producer in Britain.
