00:00Hi, I'm Paul Venturis and I'm a hatter and I work for my workshop here near the center of York.
00:06I like to make traditional men's hats across many different eras, ranging from Georgian hats, hats from the Tudor period, right through to modern fedora styles.
00:18One of my favorite styles, as you can probably tell, is the top hat. I love the classic traditional top hat, but with a bit of a modern twist.
00:26I've been making hats now for just over 15 years.
00:32So I make hats for all sorts of people, from private clients that just want something to wear on an everyday basis, such as a fedora hat or maybe a bowler hat,
00:42through to historical re-enactors that need something special to suit the era that they like to do re-enactment for.
00:47I've made hats for rock stars, celebrities and actors as well.
00:51So some of my famous clients are John Fratelli from the Fratellis, Ben Fogel, I've also made a few hats for Alfie Boe and recently made one for Justin Hawkins from the Darkness.
