This place has a set clientele, not for a young, novice hat buyer like myself. I went in to get my hat size and maybe see what looked nice on my head. The older guy on the cane kept me near the door, only let me try on casual buck hats. Even after sharing that I wanted a cowboy hat, like my deceased grandfather, I was still only shown casual, hip hop style, 80's, Kango buck hats. He mentioned straw hats and i mentioned working in my garden and needing sun protection (thinking that I was relating to the topic he brought up), that was the wrong response- I never saw the straw hats. He also did the ole "unless you are gonna spend 200 on a hat", Well Im standing here in your shop with a bank full of money. I mentioned buying a vintage hat online and he stated that was a bad idea, well I didn't feel that coming in here was much better for me. YouTube, specifically the page called the gentleman's gazette, gave me loads of information on hats much more than this physical hat store, kinda crazy when hats need to be shown to young men to ensure they are worn in the future, especially these styles. I've gotten better service at Nordstroms and Macy, so I'll head back there. There was a younger salesman in a beautiful hat and i wish that I had spoken with him as he seemed to be moving about the store and working closely with the customers to get the right fit. If you choose to shop here, look for the well dressed young man. Ultimately, the older man directed me to another hat store as I see thru the reviews is his M.O.

Needed a hat for the Kentucky Derby and this place has everything you’d ever need. Robert was an excellent help in trying out many different straw styles and we ultimately landed on a truly spectacular hat. I will definitely be back!

The salesman was helpful and very friendly. They have a large selection and have clearly been there for a long time.

I’m really digging my new “Big Apple Patchwork” Lid! It’s the vintage late Donny Hathaway look for me! Thanks for the impeccable customer service and the handsome styling of this unique piece of headwear. ???

The best chapeau (hat), store in the Chicagoland area; and the staff are great people. It’s been a while since I’ve last been there, I need to go back so that I can add to my collection of homburgs.

Great array of hats, but i wish i could find more unconventional hats/caps there that were worn by Carl Anthony Payne ('Cole') on the 'MARTIN' show. The hats they have are more conventional, and nice, but moreso for church, not necessarily for play, some for work, but mostly the more dressier church hats.

Very serious about hats. Comprehensive selection. Got a decent deal on a Mayser panama hat. Best hat shop I've visited yet. My only qualm is an employee is required to hand you every hat you wish to try on. The hats are expensive and difficult to remove from the shelves so I do understand just be ready to spend alot time there finding the perfect hat. Highly recommended

The hat selection is legit shocking and the customer service was outstanding. I can’t wait until I’m cool enough to wear one of the amazing shirts they have racks and racks of. ???
