I drove 45 minutes just to check out a "real" hat shop: the customer service and customers were amazing. Felt like I made new friends. The hat selection is a wide variety of every style. I came in looking to buy one, maybe two fedoras since on vacation I can never find one to fit my BIG head. With the closeouts and great service I left with 4 and some great socks too. read more

You want a nice hat and want to go in store to try it on. Then you need to check out Levine Hat Company downtown. I bet they've been there over 100 years. The lady at the counter was helpful and friendly. More people need to check them out. They have so many nice hats! read more

Levine Hat - Men's Clothing Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Awesome customer service . . . These folks know their stuff! We were looking for a Kangol 504, and although they didn't have the Made in USA versions, they did carry a broad selection of the 100% wool Kangol 504 hats. The staff - two ladies and one dapper gentleman - were so nice to us. So many fedoras, and Stetsons, and all sorts of lovely hats to try on, as well as a busy online business as well. When we asked for a particular size in a couple of hats, both ladies knew exactly what the particular item was and where extras were in storage (and actually went to hunt them down). Impressive! Unlike other stores these days, the staff at Levine Hat Company took the time to care about each of the customers in the store, talking with them about what they wanted and boxing up their new hats to take them home. If you don't want to mess with street parking, there's a nice $10/hr. paid parking lot immediately to the left of the store, on the SW corner of Washington Ave. & 14th St. We walked out with a Kangol 504 as well as helpful instructions on how to care for and store the hat. Thanks, Levine Hat Company! read more

Amazing selection of hats and other accessories! Great customer service from all the staff! Parked right out in front! I will be returning. read more

Levine Hat Co has a great hat selection. Their return policy is terrible however. Their return policy states you'll be charged the free shipping charge on a return ($20), but they fail to tell you that you also pay the same on the way back. Unless you exchange a hat you're out $40. FYI Shop in-store. Not online. read more

I ordered the Stetson natural Open Road hat with the gray trim, but received the black trim instead. When I tried to return/exchange the hat (on the same day), I received a message that said the hat was not returnable per their policy. That would be fine if I received the hat I actually ordered, but in this case I did not. I emailed them twice and received no response. Be warned everyone, the hat you order might not be the hat you get, and you may end up with a Viking helmet or velvet Mariachi hat instead...or whatever hat they want you to have. read more

Garbage company with dishonest business practices, and a complete lack of customer service. They literally provide an invalid number on their website. If I could leave a 0/1,000 I would. The fucking hat wasn't even sized correctly. read more

The BEST. Bar none. A real St. Louis iconic business. I've bought these hats since 1985 and never been disappointed. read more

My old straw hat had a big hole in it. I wanted, I needed, a new summer hat, something more aesthetically pleasing and effective at shading than a baseball cap. I couldn't imagine making such an investment online - how would I really know that it fits? I looked for some local possibilities, and discovered a listing for Levine's. I've probably driven by it a hundred times, but never noticed it was a hat store. One afternoon, I showed up with Therese H., and spent a fun 45 minutes inside trying things on. Covid-19 precautions? Yes, staff and customers must wear a mask. The staff was awesome, by the way, pointing out options, letting us browse, answering questions, helping us find the right size, even doing a final fitting adjustment. One of the fun elements of a purchase here was the hat box, one for Therese with her Stetson gardening hat and Greek fisherman's cap tucked underneath, and one for me with a Panama straw hat, hand woven in Ecuador, and finished in the U.S.A. read more

Levine Hat - Panama hat. I like it. - Men's Clothing Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This place has some of the nicest, most fashionable Hats of all sizes, colors & styles! They also have sweaters, shoes & active wear. The hats range from formal to casual & when I Was there today, they were having an awesome sale.

It's worth a stop for that one of a kind piece to set off your outfit or, the whole outfit. read more

This particular cap was hard to come by. None of my local hat stores in Detroit. Carried this Kangol cap. I like that it is Detroit Lion's color. A great summer cap to wear to Eastern Market, Hart Plaza, Ford Field and the Aretha Franklin Amphitheater .Can wear with Detroit Lion's jersey. Also with a nice pair of slacks and summer dress shirt. Thanks Levine Hat Company for a great looking cap!!! read more

Great little visit in the city, epecially if you're looking for a men's dress hat. We popped in for a man's derby day hat and the options did not disappoint. The hubby will be looking good thanks to Levine. Stores like this are sadly a dieing breed. Their tradition and place in our city should be appreciated. I'd recommend them and would likely visit more if there were as many options for women as men. read more

Levine Hat - Men's hats! - Men's Clothing Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Excellent service and quality merchandise! Fast delivery on products! I have been buying hats from this company for well over 3 years!!

This place is wonderful! I am just tickled to death that there is a hat store that sells such high quality hats. Yes, I am one of those girls that goes just as ga-ga over hats as she does for shoes. The people here are very friendly, but they'll ask you to leave your bags with them and they'll give you a head cover - so don't be insulted, they do it to everyone. There are a ton of hats to try on of varying styles, and I think the staff has radar because they were right there exactly when we needed help, and gone when we didn't. read more

These people know real hats. Fedoras, Panama, kangol's- - they have them all. Need a bowler - here they are. Add to the fact that the sales staff is all friendly and focuses on what you want and how to make it fit your style- this is why I come back here for a hat. read more

I ordered two hats online. The Levine was the worst hat I ever purchased and I own numerous hats including beavers, milans, ecuadorian, panama and rabbit fur. I was charged city tax and had to file a complaint with paypal to get it resolved since I did not live in the city. They also promised another refund which I never got, papal is still working on it. In my opinion, Just a bunch of liars with bad overpriced products. You can get hats this good at wal mart for a lot less. Too many other good suppliers out there to deal with these people. I have used Village hats and Delmonico hatter with better results, better service and better products.. read more

Touring St Louis, we stumbled in here quite by accident when we found ourselves trying to get into the City Museum on a day when it was closed. Finding Levine's turned disaster into serendipity. This is a nice store--clean, well-staffed, nicely organized, with hats galore. They hand you a head cover when you hit the door so you can try on hats to your heart's content. The staff were not obnoxiously hovering but were there when we needed them. They've got gorgeous imported hats in expensive felt but also some less-expensive options. Choices for kids and women, too. We left with a great hat for my husband and one for my nine-year-old son. Only our luggage constraints kept us from going a bit crazier. On the train to the airport, a well-dressed, behatted stranger complimented my son's hat . When I said we got it from Levine's, he gave us a big smile and a nod like we'd done something smart. If you have concerns about the neighborhood, it seemed okay to me (visiting tourist). There are some eateries nearby and that section of Washington Street appears to be increasingly taken over by new residential lofts. read more

This place is tops. I brought in a hat my grandfather wore to work at United Airlines back in the day, and they pretty much rebuilt the inside so it fit my head (and wasn't so beat up for being 40 years old!). I was a little surprised when they said it would take 3 weeks, but no bother, I wouldn't even be back in town for a month. Even more surprising was when I got a call a week later that it was done. They held it till I got back in to town and oh boy is it the bomb. Love it and Levine's! read more

Last year I was looking for a fedora to wear for a fundraising project I was doing where I was planning to go with an "old school reporter" in support of the Montgomery County Cancer Association. I have kind of a big head, so I had some trouble finding something that would fit and look good. I finally found what I was looking for at Levine Hat Company. The staff was fantastic and were extremely helpful in my efforts to find the perfect hat. Mr. Levine was especially helpful in picking one out, telling me stories of reporters who used to cover boxing back in the day. I ended up with a brown Stetson Sovereign that fit perfect... or it did until I wore it to the Illinois State Track meet and the leather hat band became soaked in sweat and shrunk in the back of my car. Since I put quite a bit of money into the initial hat purchase, I emailed Levine about my problem. They quickly answered, suggesting a "hat jack" and providing a link to purchase one from them online. Just a couple days later, I got the item in the mail and I am back in business for another year of fundraising. All told, I have helped raise more than $1500 for the MCCA and I couldn't have done it without Levine's help. It's the only place I'd buy a dress hat from. read more

Went in looking for a hat for a twenties themed fund raiser. A gentleman named Richard asked what I was looking for and what I was planning on wearing. I replied, and in less time than it took to write this, he picked out the PERFECT hat for what I needed, both in style and in budget. After this visit I plan on adding more dressy hats to my wardrobe. I definitely recommend Levine for all your haberdashery needs. read more

I wrote a review a couple of days ago but I guess it didn't take. Apologies if this is a duplicate. My experience with Levine Hats goes back a few years. Needed a couple of new spring/summer ivy hats. Looked at the website and found some I liked but with the, understandable, no return policy from covid, I had to go to the store. Never disappointed. Fantastic selection and excellent service. They like what they are selling and the knowledge is second to none. No question goes unanswered. They had some new arrivals and HAD to have three. My first Panama straw ivy feels great and I don't think the price could have been beat. I challenge you to find a hat they don't know about. Will continue to be the place to go to. read more

I started shopping at Levines when I was sixteen I'm now seventy two years young originally born and raised in ST Louis live out of state still shop at Levine's merchandise is still top quality they ship to you package arrives in tact especially the hats read more

Best place ever! Over 100 years in St.Louis. I go to Levine's every time I'm in town.

Levine's has it ALL when it comes to hats. And they can even fit them for you. One can find almost any kind of American-styled hat there. It kills me when I see someone overspend on a hat at the mall. Or when some fedora-wearing hipster kid buys his from Target. I think people should go to the Real Deal at Levine's. It's not that expensive for a decent hat, and you'll know it will fit right. read more

I love shopping for hats here. This store has been in Downtown St. Louis since Washington Ave. was the largest garment district outside of New York City. It's been family owned and operated by the Levine family for generations. The first time I bought a hat here, I was assisted by Mr. Levine (I didn't know it at the time). He was so kind and helpful. Everyone else who's assisted me there has been great too. You can certainly tell they're all happy to work there. If you don't live in the city, it is worth the drive! Washington Ave. is very safe and bustling with hip loft dwellers. I hope someday Downtown St. Louis is full of clothing stores again. Washington Ave. would certainly be the best place to have such a shopping district. read more

my father loves hats, and so i have learned to love hats. when visiting St Louis i stayed downtown and had a chance to walk over to Levine's. downtown is not a bad place to be in general, but it lacks in a lot of shopping, thats not to say there is none. Levine's externally does not have a lot going for it, its across the street from what we call "A thug apparel outlet" and next to a bus stop in front of a dilapidated lot. walking in was something done more out of boldness than comfort. but when i entered i was moved back in time to when they actually had hats in stores and there was a nice selection. i was greeted by a nice woman and my bag was taken most likely to protect their merchandise from sticky fingers, but instead of what we get in California: "You need to leave you bag up here", they pitched it with a very courteous attitude: "May i take your bag so you don't have to lug that around while you're trying on hats?" I know what they really want, but being told nicely is pretty good in my book. after relinquishing my bag my lady and i were given plastic head covers and let lose in the store. being given and told to use plastic head covers made me feel good again (it means that no ones stank, lice infected head has been in the hat while i have not been there). i was given attention by the sales people, but not too much, and not too little. they made sure i knew they were eager to help and they searched out sizes and styles for me when requested without any complain or sign of displeasure. due to the service and selection i walked out of the store with 3 hats and my lady with 2, they also seem to be able to do embroidering some other modification work, though i didn't have a chance to ask them about all of it. they sell jackets shirts and purses also and have a catalog and website you can order from if you're from out of town. but i left twice without my messenger bag and they didn't even try to let me know. so i kinda gotta take a star away for that. and one cause it was in a crappy location. read more

Huge selection of high quality hats. Great service. Helped my husband find and fit the right hat for his oblong head.

I tagged along with a friend and he loves hats. This place had friendly and very knowledgeable sales staff. There's plenty of options and sizes in stock for him. His hardest part was making a choice. read more

I needed a nice fedora to match my suit for a special event. It had to be delivered fast; overnight shipping to California. I searched all night for a specific hat on the internet. Finally found what I was looking for. It came down to 3 stores, one in California, one in New York, and Levine Hat Co. I contacted all three. Long story short, one shop was way too expensive and the other had really bad service. Mike at Levine Hat Co., however, was extremely professional, thorough and knowledgeable. I told him what I was looking for and when I needed it and he took care of everything. Price was great, too. Received it all the way in Cali in less than 24 hours! AMAZING! One of the smoothest transactions I have ever had. I highly recommend this shop. Thanks Mike! read more

This is probably the best hat shop I've seen in a long time. They do cleaning, shaping and blocking of your hat, they have a great selection of new hats, and customer service is what you would expect from a place that has been in business for over a hundred years. stop by and get yourself some real headgear. read more

If you want a hat this is the place to go. Levine is what's left of the old school garment district business's. True to old school nature, you get classic styles and top quality hats. The staff will tell you exactly what you need and are buying. read more

My first visit was great. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I purchased a hat for around $160. They let me know that if I needed the hat reshaped their would be no charge since I had purchased a quality hat. I left pleased with my purchase. The second visit was not so much fun. I picked up a friend and we were going down to purchase another hat and get the hat I purchased earlier reshaped. I walked in up to the front counter and the man their told me I need to go to the back of the store. I walked to the back and another gentleman said (I don't know why he sent you back here you have to go up front.) So I went back up front and was told that is is a $30 or $40 dollar charge to reshape the hat. I explained what I was told about free reshaping but they wanted nothing to do with that. If you are buying they love you, but if you want service after the fact don't count on it. read more

Great selection in a variety of styles and price ranges, shown you by a friendly and personable staff. Bought a beautiful brown, beaver Stetson, and could not be happier about it. Go in and browse! No pressure, and it costs nothing to release your inner Sam Spade on just a temporary basis, or Philip Marlowe. The salesman blocked the open-crown fedora I got while I waited. (Nice straws too, but I am full-up with them at home and the summer wanes.) You'll be happy you visited. read more

I have not been to this store but I called to ask a question and the phone etiquette was very disappointing. I called to ask a question about alterations and was cut off mid sentence several times by an impatient staff member. Then I was made to feel stupid for not knowing correct terminology. They couldn't help with my alteration but even if they could I am not sure I would want to deal with this poor customer service and disrespect. read more

Had a bad experience in 2012 where they sold me a hat off the shelf when they said they would get my size but they just resized that same hat. Had to come back several times where the resident hatmaker altered the hat to make it fit but it never fit properly. Ended up throwing the hat away and sending a letter to the owner which went unanswered. Foolishly went back recently to give them another shot to get a different hat of mine reblocked/resized. Was told hat would need new liner, sweatband, and reblocking for $60. Things were even worse this time! Had to make two more trips back to receive a shotty handshaped crown with a visibly recycled liner and sweatband (which they lied about) and complain to the owner who thankfully scolded the employee (same who sold me the hat in 2012) for the shotty blocking and tried to make it right himself. He refunded half of my $60 and explained that they do not have the hatmaking equipment that they used to. But if this is the case, why are they still offering these services? Got home and had to fix the crown myself only to find that the sweatband had come detached because it was not stitched in properly. The help wanted sign on the door for alterations should have been my clue to go back outside and give my money to the panhandlers that kept harassing me. This business is not the reputable hatter that my family frequented years ago. They are just out to make a buck on a new and overpriced fur felt. It's a crying shame. read more
