Best Place To Find a Lid
The Hat Guys (Men and Women)
These guys have been around on Broadway since 1988, and they can get you fixed up with all manner of hats and caps. Mostly this is a men’s shop, but there are plenty of lids for women, too. Where to start? When we were looking, we had in mind something along the lines of an Australian Drover, perhaps a fedora, maybe a pork pie or a trilby. We got sidetracked by the collapsible top hats (“Hullo, Hugh Jackman”), then got steered toward some Homburgs and teardrops and finished up by trying on a bowler. Whew! The good brands are all here, such as Borsalino, Lagomarsino, Akubra and, yes, cowboy brands, too, such as Stetson. For the warmer months, try on a few Panamas or, our own favorite, the Stetson Milan straw two-tone fedora. Traveling? Yup, the Hat Guys have hat travel cases, too. And walking sticks. And … and … and …

The Hat Library (Women)
There’s a time for a hat and then there are times for really seriously fashionable women’s hats. There is church, of course, and weddings. And then there are the going-out-on-the-town hats, the Victorian hats and, once a year, the Easter bonnet and the Kentucky Derby hat. What to do and where to go? Our pick for the ladies is The Hat Library, which coincidentally is situated just two blocks away from The Hat Guys. These are one-of-a-kind designer original hats, and the Hat Library also has lots of accessories, including jewelry and gift items.
