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.

But he gave me the information of the manufacturer, correct hat size, how the hat should fit, etc. Fast forward a couple months and I ordered the hat from the manufacturer and it was nowhere near the same as I tried on - but it's on them completely, I found the service and attention to detail at Ibiza fantastic and would recommend this shop to anyone interested in a fine hat/cap.

CENTRALLY LOCATED DEPT STORE IN OLD QUEBEC…read more During our visit to Quebec City, we dropped by the Simons department store that is centrally located in Old Quebec on Cote de la Fabrique. It is near the Notre Dame Basilica de Quebec. Simons is a very small and quiet department store. Convenient for the tourist who forgot to pack something or now needs warmer clothing for the cold Quebec weather. We were surprised that Simons did not have a small giftware section where we might purchase a unique souvenir of our visit to Old Quebec that would not end up being a dusty tchotchke.

Don't let Québec Urbain's web site fool you: They're not just a trendy fashion boutique…read more Oh sure, they have plenty from brands like Desigual (trendy, colorful fashion), Pook (hoodies and fleece), Adidas (needs no introduction), Tilley (hats), and Robin Ruth (travel, "casual lifestyle" clothes), and hip-brand sunglasses. With profiles in publications like the Quebec City daily paper Le Soleil (https://bit.ly/2Fa0zmm), it's a hard to ignore Québec Urbain's role in the local fashion scene. If you are fashionable and young and have some money to spend, you'll definitely love Québec Urbain. However, in my humble opinion, the heart of Québec Urbain is more in the "Québec" than the "Urbain." Shhh ... don't say it out loud, but Québec Urbain is kinda sorta in some ways ... a "gift shop." But a "gift shop" in kindest and highest-quality sense of the word. For one, Québec City gives themselves constant reminders of the Nordiques, their long-departed NHL hockey team (1995). As far a I saw, nobody in town provides more Nordiques gear -- and more fashionable ensembles to wear your gear -- than at Québec Urbain. The store just generally LOVES Québec itself. I haven't seen the Q word on so many hats, t-shirts, sweaters, snow globes, scarves, mug and cups, plaques, keychains, pens, and other ephemera then I saw here. And if you dig on the that beautiful azure flag of Québec called "Fleurdelisé," you'll find plenty of it in many form and fashion at Québec Urbain. Then there are some cool, somewhat out-of-place knick-knacks: Christmas ornaments, dreamcatchers, nutcrackers, big animal wood carvings, lawn ornaments, and the requisite maple syrup products section. While some prices are ludicrous, all of the items are worth a long, hard look. If you wanted to find a store to symbolize Québec (both the Provence and the city), you'd be hard pressed to find a better representation than Québec Urbain!

This cozy store in Old Quebec is a one-stop shop for souvineers and all things Quebec.

The good: even balance of offerings for both males and females. The bad: slightly on the pricey side but you have to keep in mind these are not mass produced items.
