No one knows more about hats than the men at New York’s oldest chapeau shop, where you’ll find classy gents outfitted in berets ($25–$110), fedoras ($50–$625), newsboy caps ($30–$225), rain hats ($50–$125) and porkpies ($50–$200), the flat-brimmed toppers made popular by jazz musicians. Around since 1911, the wood-paneled store feels entirely masculine, like a place Don Draper would frequent, but ladies are welcome and encouraged to try out the unisex offerings, including 100 percent wool berets ($25) and straw panama-style hats with striped bands ($150). Since prices can go as steep as $625 for Italian fur-felt fedoras, the spot-on sales team will teach you how to care for your new headgear (keep it away from heat and brush it counterclockwise), so that it’s sure to last you for years to come.

I live in Vietnam, but expect to be in NYC in mid to late August. What's the change you'll have a 7 1/4 Montecristi Fino Fedora by Borsalino in stock then? And since there is no place here to "tune up" a straw hat (years ago I owned one and from time to time it was steamed and encouraged back into shape), is it silly to buy one and expect to wear it long term here ? Thank you, Michael

I have experienced some difficulty finding a nice beaver fedora, like I frequently purchased in the 1970's. Do you still stock such head wear?

This place is a quintessential NYC experience. Top class service, wicked hats, and you feel like you stepped into another era when you walk in. Since 1911! Highest possible recommendation.
