Service was great, loved the hats. I have bought two but am in the market for a few more. My daughter lives in Dayton and whenever I get over there I want to visit "Brim on Fifth". But in the meantime I can look at their website. Value is also excellent. Highly recommend this store, Diane Johnson read more

Fantastic and very welcoming hat shop. Very helpful with the entire process of fitting and getting exactly what I was looking for. Great selection of high quality hats will definitely be back for more read more

During a recent visit to Dayton, we explored the Oregon Historic District and enjoyed the plethora of unique shops, eateries, and architecture. One of our favorite shops was Brim, the store that put the 'H' in hats! Brim has a wide selection of hats for both men and women, many of which are unisex. The sales person with whom we dealt was very knowledgable and helpful with choosing a size and variety. They have everything from fedoras, patch caps, flat caps, bucket hats, boleros, derbies, beanies, and more, with price points for every budget. Be sure to check out the back right corner of the store for a wonderful selection of sale hats! In addition to hats they have jewelry, gloves, scarves, shaving supplies and other accessories. My hubby left with two hats that he absolutely loves. I can't imagine there is a finer hat store anywhere within miles! Be sure to check them out if you are in the Dayton area! read more

On a recent visit to the Dayton, OH area we found a true gem of a hat store, BRIM, located in the middle of the Oregon Historic District. You can't miss this three story eclectic shop painted neon yellow. Brim has a wide array of hats for men, women and a myriad unisex styles. I personally purchased two hats, one a grey Irish Lid and the other a Summer weight 'Indiana Jones' hat. The sales staff were exceptionally helpful choosing the right style and size. Include this establishment on your next visit along with the countless others in the Oregon District. read more

Can't believe I haven't written this review yet. I love, love, love this store. For one thing, it has a dog for a greeter. He will get up and run around the counter to welcome you! Secondly...the hats. So many hats, so little time. I've bought many a hat here, for both myself and my husband. Don't tell anyone but there are always sale hats in the back corner of the store. Any often times the offer an extra discount on the markdowns. There's also jewelry, gloves, shaving supplies. It's just fun to come in and look around whenever in the area. And right around the corner is the Dayton Inspires selfie station. How fun is that? read more

Brim on Fifth - Did Brim close? That makes me sad - Hats Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Brim was really an impromptu stop after lunch for myself, brother, mother and grandmother. And we all left with hats as diverse as our personalities. As I'm not a huge hat aficionado, I can't name them all unfortunately, but they ran the gamut from wooly baseball cap to adjustable diamond top straw hat with flip brim. Bonus points for awesome owners, penny countertop, yellow chair and free French Bulldog pats. If you love hats or think you might be at that point in your life where you need a hat... make this a priority stop. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. The last time I had been in the neighborhood, it was outside their business hours and I was so sad to not get to poke around. However, going back especially for ChaCha's House of Ill Repute trunk show made it that much more special when I finally made it back. The place was packed, but everyone there was so helpful and friendly and knowledgeable. Loved the mix of hats--plenty of men's and women's--and mix of jewelry and other interesting accessories. Shop dog? Yeah, big bonus! If I lived in Dayton, I'd be here on the regular. It has such a fun vibe, I wouldn't be surprised if people come by begging to do photo shoots in here. Kudos to the amazing staff! I'll be back every time I'm in Dayton. read more

Completely in love with this store, this is my first time being here while it's my dads second. They were very cooperative and let us try the sizes on. They also had a very wide selection of hats, the customer service was outstanding to me and my dad as well. The store is also very well organized, and doesn't have any messes. I'm glad I went, and I plan on coming back soon. We are in love with the hats as well. No complaints at all, they also had sunglasses, a selection of bracelets, and types of bandanas. There is some very beautiful rings as well and everything is a reasonable price. read more

Great selection and service. I rarely write reviews but this place deserves it! I signed up to be on their mailing list ... with the over saturation of emails in our in-boxes, that says a lot. read more

Yes! As GREAT as it gets. I've purchased a couple Egg Cup hats here now and have loved wearing them. The hats here are beautifully curated and displayed. The owner and employees also understand that purchasing a true/classic hat (that requires some level of investment) is a time consuming purchase. They are always ready with suggestions and ideas on how to wear, care and accessorize your existing chapeaux or new purchases. Prices range from affordable and fantastic to beautifully indulgent. read more

I love hats! I don't necessarily have a head for hats, but I love them! This place is fantastic! The staff and the selection of hat are awesome! I highly recommend this place for hat lovers! read more

I wanted to wait to wright this review with a picture of my stylish outfit. However, I couldn't hold my excitement any longer. I had my first magical experience at Brim on Fifth. Ana was insightful and fun to work with. She helped me put together a complete look. Her love for hats and fashion put a true smile on my face. Sometimes we don't realize how one act of kindness can change a persons entire day. Thank you Ana for your great conversation, love of fashion, energy, and hat runway (lol)! read more

Amazing store full of quality hats. You won't find rastafarian costume hats here. The staff was helpful and friendly. I've purchased 6 hats here and have been thrilled with them. I don't live in the area, but visit the shop when I'm in town visiting family. read more

This store was an experience I will endeavor to repeat every time I make it back to Dayton. I love hats and this store had a fantastic selection for both men and women. It was a lot of fun walking around, trying on the various types of hats. The hardest part was choosing just one! read more

I stumbled on this shop while at the Oregon District Taste festival. I was moderately surprised at the selection. Would definately recommend visiting. read more

Really loved my time at this store. The owner was very charismatic, friendly and knowledgeable. If you think you would like a hat that ventures beyond your baseball cap collection give this place a try. read more

Dont shop here unless you are you are ok with customer has no value. Bought a hat, tried to return it three hours later with receipt and they said sorry no exchanges without tags which they cut off!! Clearly no interest in customer satisfaction! I am a big believer in supporting small business owners, so it was very disappointing when their "rules" were so inflexible. There was a human element here, I was in the store three hours ago, and the person at the counter knew that. I would have had better luck at a walmart and thats not a good thing. read more

Used to shop here. The owner and I disagreed a year ago on a legal issue I as a citizen had the right to question. This issue was completely unrelated to the store. I stopped in last week to ask about something and was treated like garbage. Glad we're all adults in business. Never again. read more

This store is amazing! They have an incredible selection of hats. The staff is very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and have helped me find 3 great hats that fit my look and my budget. I've visited twice over the last three years and I thoroughly enjoyed both visits. This is a fun place to browse even if you aren't looking for a hat. They are located in the historic Oregon neighborhood--among some great local shops and restaurants. read more

I love, love, love this place. On a trip with my dad and I up purchasing a hat for myself and my son. My dad purchased his 3rd hat. read more

Amelia was wonderful to work with! I walked in expecting to be rejected with my large hat size needs. Not only did they have a hat for me but multiple to slchoose from. The only place I will be buying my hats in the future. read more

I got an actual hat with a fake bird in it. It is awesome and that's all this review needs to say! I want my boyfriend to get a top hat so he can wear a monocle with it, but he doesn't seem too keen on the idea. Maybe someday. read more

High quality, artisan items. The feel of the shop is interesting (in the best way possible). Make sure to stop in if you're downtown Dayton or running around the Oregon District. read more

If you're in the market for a hat, this is the place to be! They have just about every type of hat, including TONS of fedoras of every color. They even have XL and XXL sizes for people like me with gigantic melon heads. The staff is always attentive, and they've got a knack for finding a hat that goes with your style. read more

I go visit Brim every time I'm in the Oregon Dist. Love the selection. If you don't think hats are for you, stop in and chat with the knowledgeable staff. They will help you see that there is a hat for every head! read more

The growth of hat shops (sure, there aren't really that many) is a great thing. Brim is one of the few independent shops on offer (lots of Goorin Bros., out there, but that's not bad, either.) The selection of really high quality hats is stunning, the staff (owners?) are welcoming and knowledgeable; the layout and design is great. I have enough hats, if that's possible, but I ended up with a great leather belt - they do have some accessories. If you don't think you need a hat then hit Brim and they might change your minds. A great shop in the Oregon district. read more

Amazing Hats! It's hard to find great hats in Dayton Ohio, but not anymore. Thank you Brim.
