In this episode of the Hat makers Podcast I connect  with Genis Whylan from WhyHats from Valencia, Spain.

We hear about a chance meeting with a vagabond hat maker in Ibiza that sparked a fire in him and caused him to take a gamble on a chasing his passion and build a business that has seen him travel the world making hats and forming special relationships.

We hear how his rock'n roll lifestyle led him in meeting Tommy Lee as well some tips and tricks he uses to create his unique style of hats.

It was a real pleasure to chat to such a rad dude.
