Welcome to The Buyers Club with your host, Cliff Rodriguez! Joining him today is Rich Oliver Lewis, the founder of Oliver Lewis Hats, a Brooklyn-based hat company renowned for its craftsmanship. Rich, a Brooklyn-born and -raised artist, was deeply influenced by his father's love for Westerns stories. This sparked his fascination with hats, which he began wearing at the age of 12, ultimately leading him to develop his own modern take on Western style. After spending eight years immersing himself in the film and music scene in Toronto, Rich returned to New York City, where a friend from the Hasidic community introduced him to his true creative passion: hat-making. Richard's craftsmanship flourished as he mastered the art of creating 'Shtreimels,' the elegant fur hats worn by Jewish men for Shabbat, weddings, and holidays. In 2022, Richard embarked on his entrepreneurial journey and founded Oliver Lewis Hats with a mission to create unique pieces that seamlessly blend with casual attire as well as formal suits. He challenges the notion that hats are limited to selective or festive occasions. Each Oliver Lewis Hat is meticulously handcrafted, ensuring a one-of-a-kind creation that embodies classic elegance with a contemporary twist. Join Cliff and Rich in this captivating conversation as they explore Rich's remarkable journey and unwavering dedication to his craft.
