In my 80th year, after discovering flat caps, and what in the midst of what must be a late-life…read morecrisis - I'm in love with the Village Hat Shop - there, I said it! On the positive side: Inventory - This neighborhood shop carries a huge inventory with a wide variety of brands, styles and price points. Prices - From what I can tell, each brand and style may offer a variety of price points and the shop does sometimes offer discounts and specials. Availability - The shop offers convenient and customer friendly hours, check web site for the details. Staff - In my experience the staff has invariably been welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. When I recently mentioned that a flat cap I'd purchased there seemed a little snug, they insisted on enlarging it a half-size at no charge, and the result was perfect. Location - It is absolutely perfect for me to have what I've heard is the country's best hat store only 15 minutes from home. I often arrive with questions only and they are always welcoming and helpful. Negatives The traffic is awful because of construction work going on along 4th Avenue. Parking anywhere nearby on the street is nearly impossible, but there is a small lot at the rear of the building in the alley between 4th and 5th, and Robinson and University that I've never seen more than half-filled and is free for customers.

Huge store with tons of hats. Definitely the largest hat store I've ever seen. Not great service…read morewhen I visited in the store. They sell lots of hats on their website too, and there is no coordination between the website and the store - they are run like separate businesses, which is a bit frustrating. Great place to actually try on hats though.

Excellent service, staff was knowledgeable and helpful. Wound up with two great hats.read more

He tried on a brand and fell in love; didn't even blink at the price tag, which was over $50. He wore it every day for the rest of our trip! I'd say the hats lean heavier toward men's styles than women. I didn't see anything I'd purchase personally, but they do have a good selection overall.

I am obsessed with the hat I got from Village Hat Shop…read more I window shop every time I walk by and have been in a few times trying to find the right hat in the right price range. They have hats of all kinds from high end baseball caps to fedoras and cowboy hats. I have a small head so buying hats online doesn't usually end up working out. It's great to have a local option! I think the prices are a little high, but so are PB rent prices for businesses so whatever. I'm glad I can try things on before making my purchase. They seem to refresh their window selection often and always have something new to check out. Next time I need a hat I'll be back!

I've tried for the last 3 days to pick up a hat after my workout but the person attending the kiosk is too busy on their phone to bother helping anyone, makes me wonder if they actually sell hats. Just order your hat directly from new era, this will be a huge waste of time and you'll get treated like shit. Pricing will be the same as the website and you won't have to deal with rude employees.

Vonte helped me choose the perfect hat and walked me through the customization options to get my girlfriend's name stitched on the side with a little heart, which came out clean, centered, and exactly how I pictured it. He was patient, friendly, and made sure everything was spelled correctly and placed just right before sending it to be stitched, which really made the experience feel personal instead of rushed. The store was organized, the process was quick, and the final result looks amazing my girlfriend loved it and it definitely made the hat feel one-of-a-kind. Huge thank you to Vonte for the great customer service and attention to detail I'll definitely be back here for my next custom hat. @neeks93 on insta

We got a SD New Era one for my son! His first sports "name brand" hat. To my surprise we can get it customized! So for his first hat we did! The worker was super friendly and told us any color! We just did gold yellow to match but also added extra diamonds (they called it stars). We chose the Kindergarten font since it goes with him being an infant! It's super cute! I love it so much and we will keep this hat even when he outgrows it! Took about 30 mins to complete which was fine, we went to eat while he worked on that. The letters seem a little crooked to me like it's descending but with the font (which we did all caps), it's fine. The cap itself was $27.99 but with customization it came to almost $50. I did try to look online to see if it was sold anywhere but those are hard to find so it was worth it for us.
