I found this store while aimlessly strolling down Broadway with my daughters on a sunny Friday afternoon. We were visiting from out-of-country and wanted to get a flavor for the city. We decided to pop in and browse after seeing a 20% off end-of-summer sale.
First off, the store carries both men's and women's hats, which in my experience, is rare. They also carry all kinds of hats: fedoras, panamas, newsboy, wide brim, straw and more. Despite the wide selection, the store wasn't overwhelming but nicely organized and the inventory was easy to see at a glance.
There was one person working; I think her name was Deb. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about everything in the store. I was interested in a wide brim straw women's hat; she brought it down off the wall for me to try on and told me where it was made and the material it was made of. She showed me other similar hats which I also really loved. I ended up buying two hats and I've been so happy with them.
The prices were lower than I expected. I ended up paying $89.99 and $159.99 (before the 20% off) for two hats; considering the construction and material quality, I expected to pay much more. I paid $175 for a high-quality straw Panama hat in the United States and I'd say the quality and craftsmanship of the two hats I bought in Saskatoon is comparable.
I really loved this store. It carries a wide selection of high quality hats at low prices. Honestly, I was quite surprised to find this gem of a store in Saskatoon. It beats many hat stores I've seen in much larger cities. Saskatoon is very lucky to have this caliber of hat store and next time I'm in town, I will definitely drop in! read more
