What arguably is considered located within a "Tourist Trap" district, simply due to the level of…read moretourism and the proliferation of shops that sell various forms of "I've visited" or "I've been there" merchandise that shouts out the location when worn, is Malee's of Newport, RI. Actually not sure the spelling used on Yelp is accurate, but this will not be confused with some competing location of similar name. My credit card listed this shop as "MALEE' INTERNATIONAL", so with an apostrophe after the last "e", but no "s". Frankly, I think it is not an apostrophe, but rather the French accent aigu! In any case, of all the touristy merchandise available in and around d Newport, this shop had as wide and as varied a collection as any. In looking for something that would fit my ideal of a baseball-style cap, the shopkeeper was helpful in finding just what I was searching for, which started with color and badging, but also had the sort of rear adaptive sizing closure I wanted, which was NOT with Velcro, but with a moveable clasp. It is also high-quality 100% cotton and handmade by DPC. You be the judge, as I offer to you here the photographic evidence of my purchase. Even if this is would not be your choice, there is a wide selection in this shop and it is one to stop in when looking for this type of souvenir in Newport.

She went back to the store she bought the first sweatshirt, but they wouldn't let her return it. She was super sad, and when she came back to Beachcomber, the kind woman overheard the story and gave her the new sweatshirt for free. She is super kind and knows her products, marking them at a super duper reasonable price and choosing to sell things from companies (eg pura vita) that provide jobs to people in poverty in other countries. Everyone should stop by this store, and remember to spread the kindness that she showed my friend in your day-to-day life

They have Panama hats and fedora's and bowler to top hats. They also have a great selection for women. The people are wonderful. They take hats very seriously but in a very fun way. I was looking at a Panama and Jessen suggested a hat that was sturdier and it was a lot less money. He measured my head and they have this machine that helps to mold the hat to your head. The energy is great. A young mom went into the store with her 4 year old daughter they let her try on hats and she walkede the floor like she was on the runway. They also sell jewelry ties and other treasures. I have never had so much fun buying clothes.

Salmagundi is, hands down, the finest hat shop I've ever set foot in -- and I say that as someone…read morewho has spent the last 40 years frequenting some of the best haberdasheries in New York City. I visited the Jamaica Plain shop today with my brother, on what happened to be the 27th anniversary of my father's passing. What could have been a heavy, emotional day was transformed into something unexpectedly meaningful, thanks in large part to the experience I had with Jessen. He spent well over an hour with me, patiently walking through countless combinations of styles, shapes, and colors -- not rushing, not upselling, just exploring what really worked. He was thoughtful, kind, and extraordinarily knowledgeable, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed the process of helping me find the right hat. That enthusiasm was contagious; time absolutely flew by. I left with a beautiful hat and a matching scarf, each with its own story -- down to where the wool came from and how it was made. That level of care and passion isn't something you can fake. It's obvious that Jessen and Andria care deeply about their craft, their customers, and the experience they create in the shop. This was, without question, the best experience I've ever had in a hat store. The selection is fantastic, but it's the heart, expertise, and hospitality that make Salmagundi truly special. If you're anywhere near Boston and even thinking about a hat, do yourself a favor and go see Andria and Jessen. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

She stayed late to meet me, she gave detailed explanations of the different wig types, understood the challenges, and made the experience fun.

Unfortunately, the correct size was on back order however Bruce put a rush order and everything worked out fine. I also strongly recommend buying your Tilley hat from a reputable hat company like Holland Hats. The first hat I ordered from another site had no tags and was folded like it was stuck in a car glove compartment for 2 years. Bruce told me Holland Hats will never send a hat without original Tilley tags. The packaging was in a box and wrapped so it arrived without creases and wrinkles. Tilley hats aren't cheap and Holland Hats prices are tough to beat. You can also be sure you are buying a new hat purchased directly from Tilley
