I recently went back to Santiago to visit a friend and recalled there being an old hat shop that my folks introduced me to when I was a kid. Fascinated by the place when I first saw it, I was determined to return and see it again. It's long been an establishment in Santiago since the 1920s—called Donde Golpea El Monito ("where the monkey hits"). Anyway, I decided to go and find myself a nice classic brown hat for the season. However, there was a very bespoke style I was looking for, and they actually handmade it to my specific order at this place... Don Juan was the man that new exactly what I was after, and this is how he shaped it. If the place itself wasn't nostalgic enough, he was playing classic radio tango on an old transistor in his workshop. I was blown away, slightly transported to an olden time... A time when men wore hats, and they actually went to people, such as Don Juan, to get the bespoke hat they wanted. Encantado...
