Meshika Chief Hat Maker, Alberto Hernandez, shares about his journey and inspiration as a Hat Maker in the New York Post article,
Alberto made his big-screen debut with Johnny Depp’s brown leather pirate hat in the second “Pirates of the Caribbean” film.
After eight years, Hernandez wanted to create his own designs. Hernandez soon gained a following, including NFL Quarterback Cam Newton.
“I’ve probably made a hat for him once a week since I met him,” Alberto shares.
“The thing about Alberto is that even though his name isn’t on the label, his work is everywhere,” says Newton. “Designers, movie stars, musical artists wear it. He’s been the unsung hero [of hat making]," boasts Cam.
Thank you, Cam, and New York Post for the love!
