He hitchhiked through Europe and ended up bringing home a craft. A craft that has not existed in Denmark since the mid-1990s. The rootless journey through Europe ended up being a ‘Rite of passage’ into the cap-making profession<\/acronym>.<\/p>\n

After 3 years of training as a cap maker, Silas founded the company Wilgart. Our hallmarks are handmade headgear and caps of craftsmanship quality. At the heart of the company is the craftsmanship, that goes along with a good customer service and the experience of visiting a capmaking workshop. A few years later, Wilgart opened Denmark’s only cap manufaktur on Bornholm.<\/p>\n

Wilgart is Denmark’s only active cap maker, and we make sure that you can get caps in a decent quality. Handmade on Bornholm, N\u00f8rrebro and in Bamberg, Germany at Master Herr Bullmann’s workshop.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Read the personal report” style=”flat” size=”sm” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwilgart.dk%2Fen%2Fabout%2Fpersonal-report%2F|title:Personal%20Report|”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5\/6″][vc_single_image image=”2255″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”inline-link”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″]

      Design Filosofi<\/h5><\/div>
      En unik kasket med historie<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Danish Design focuses on materials, aesthetics and function. -And then Danish design has grown out of a strong craft tradition. Many Danes talk about the great Danish designers, B\u00f8rge Mogensen, Poul Henningsen and Kaj B\u00f8rgesen, but as time changes, the craft sector suffers from increasing stagnation both economically and in people’s minds. Hatters, bundlers and cap makers have been rescheduled or deleted from Denmark’s cultural heritage. -Rescheduled for digitization, outsourcing or completely forgotten. The craftsmanship part in many vocational and design educations has been belittled to a minimum, and this is despite the fact that Danish Design unequivocally requires good understanding of materials and good craftsmanship. Ordinary Danes think we live in a craft nation, but at the same time they do not know the name of their local tailor or leathersmith.<\/p>\n

      Wilgart wants to change that discourse. With a tradition of good craftsmanship, materials and simple aesthetic grip, we want to make Danish headgear world-renowned. Hand-sewn caps produced in Scandinavia are Wilgart’s landmarks.
