I'd walk out happy clutching a new hat box in my hands.. I'd chat with other hat wearers i only visited the new JJs twice. I asked about repairs both times, with almost 2 years between visits, I got the same response both times the repairman got sick & we're between repairmen An authentic hat shop experience should be easy to achieve with just one old-school, experienced hatter from that generation . Someone who could teach the crew & top brass how to run a real old fashioned hat shop. When I come to Manhattan I want to see that old neon Stetson sign and hear the whoosh of the steamer. I looked forward to it, like a piece of old New York. I miss that.

The trim was fairly priced, basically at market value. So not a discount spot, but you aren't being ripped off either. The shopkeepers are eager to assist, and while some might call it pestering, as long as I assured them I was ok, they wouldn't keep at it. Certainly a fun spot just to walk around in; so many sparkles!

I bought a blue one. They also have a large selection of bejeweled bikinis, or maybe they're underwear sets. Not sure, didn't look too closely. Prices are much better than M&J Trimmings, although the selection of silk flowers is much smaller and not as fancy. Most were $5 or $8 and come with a clip, ponytail holder, and pin already attached, although some just have the clip, for your hair or a lapel. Or a hat. The hats are mostly polyamide and come in every shape, style, and color. This is a fun store, and the cashier was friendly and helpful.

A few weeks later, I walked by again and there was no hat class in progress. I popped in just to see what EVH is all about, as I love super niche businesses like this. I walked in and the owner was helping out a few other people, so I just perused around for a second. I had my airpods in with no music playing, hiding in plain sight. I heard the owners AWESOME British accent and thought to myself "wow it's really a vibe in here." At this exact moment, I spotted a hat that really caught my eye. It was a hat that had a mix matched denim pattern that could be paired with almost any outfit. I had a vision of me buying this hat and it becoming an integral part of my personality. "Oh, there goes the guy with the cool hat walking up 1st ave" onlookers would say as they walked by, jealous of my cool new hat. Cute girls would come up to me at the Wayland and or Ding-a-Ling saying "Oh my god, I love your hat!" ... "You haven't been to East Village Hats!??!?!?!" I would respond to them with a cheeky, endearing smile. However, when I picked up the hat it was like $130 and that's just out of my price range for a hat at this moment. Also, I have an extremely large head so the hat was probably a pipe dream all along. A man could dream can't he...?
