I think these bad reviewers have never dealt with:…read more 1. Dry-witted hatters 2. Dry-witted Québécois 3. Dry-witted older store owners In any case, I had a lovely experience here, after the gentleman stopped tailing me through the store (I get this a lot--I'm apparently too young or disheveled to be shopping for serious items of luxury, so the store keeps assume I'm a thief) and helped me find my size, I had a grand time with him and, yes, the quite polite, good-humored Bibi herself. If you go in for ten minutes, ask questions, try more than one hat on, then get rudeness when you leave without purchasing anything and so leave a low review, you deserved the shade that was thrown your way and your reviews mean nothing. I am quite happy with my wool hat and my experience with this fine Chapelier. Post-script: the reason hatters don't want you trying the hats on without them is not simply because they're detesting of tire-kicking (which they very rightly are)--it's because you can damage many hats with your hand's natural oils, and brimmed hats are meant to be handled on certain areas of the hat to avoid premature degrading of the wool, felt, straw, etc.. The more you know...

I was in Quebec City around Christmas time in 2010. We were staying at a B&B only a few steps from…read morethis hat shop. I was greeted very cordially by an older gentlemen. He spoke to me in French but when I said I was from Pennsylvania on holiday he immediately spoke to me in English. He saw I was wearing a Borsellino fedora and he directed me to an area that had many beautiful fedora' s. He helped me choose a couple in my size and made sure they fit properly. I purchased one and still have and wear it every fall and winter. I took a picture of the shop from the outside on a very snowy day.(I'm a photographer.). I have the picture hanging in my den. Out of curiosity I decided to see if I could find this shop on-line, and today I found it. If and when I get back to Quebec City I will surely visit the shop again!! Al C. 3/30/2022. Jamison, Pa.

I didn't speak French so he was very nice about walking me through my shoe options available for my size. I told him my size and luckily he brought several shoe options and a 1/2 size larger, because I ended up get in his selection! Overall, good experience. Only minor drawback:There's too many American brands in this store;). Tip: Make sure you know someone with a membership in order to purchase something.
