The Strand Hatters is something of a Sydney institution, having opened in The Strand Arcade over 50 years ago. Head Milliner Robert J Carroll has been there for 30 of those years. The store stocks the finest in hand-crafted headwear in a range of classic styles: pith helmet, fez, boater, sombrero, French beret, Greek fisherman’s cap... the list goes on. In addition to hats, they stock bowties, braces, ties, cravats, colognes, wallets and scarves, as well as gorgeously crafted canes and umbrellas for the truly distinguished gentleman. Sydney.
