JJ Hats

JJ Hats is the name behind JJ Hat Center, a New York hat shop that has traded since 1911 and calls itself the city's oldest hat store. Its flagship sits on Fifth Avenue, and over the years it has welcomed customers from around the world. Think of it as a retailer more than a maker. The shop selects hats from a range of makers, and the range covers both classic and contemporary headwear, including caps and beanies. The stock brings together heritage brands and newer names. If you like being helped by someone who knows hats, that is part of the pitch here: the store promises personalised, expert service in person and online. Worldwide shipping is available too.
