Just off the main square in Gettysburg is Dirty Billy's, a small, dark, curio shop selling old…read morestyle hats. The walkways are dark, the shelves pile to the ceiling with wares and cabinets display custom made specialty hats, and the whole place has a somewhat magical feel to it. Yes, you have to like hates but if you do there's a vague sense of a wonderland with different surprises found in the corners and if you're only interested in hats, which are no longer as fashionable as they once were, this is a place to further explore your interest. They not only sell hats but also make them so if you see something you like but they don't have your size, they can probably make it for you. His main market seems to be historical re-enactors, but he also makes fashionable hate like fedoras and Derbys and is more than willing to talk to you about design, look materials and the price for this customer made hat is on a par with well known brands like Mcgill and Stetson (I like hats) So why only 4 stars? Two things. 1 is convenience. the store is only open on Fridays and weekends, great for tourist trade on the weekends but otherwise difficult. I'd been visiting Gettysburg for years before I happened to be there on a day they were open. the other is a little more twitchy but it was reliability. I did have a hat made and when I got it, it was perfect. :) BUT it was weeks later than I was told at the time. I wasn't informed there would be a delay, I just let a few weeks pass over the estimate i was given and then reached. Then they told me they were a little backed up. It would have helped me had they reached out to me, rather than me having to sit and wonder.

Not really knowing what was inside. First off, the clothes. Most of the boutiques in the area have clothes I wouldn't really wear. There were so many cute finds in this store.

While there, we sampled many delicious dips and jams. We ended up purchasing a few. The service. The people working there were so friendly but not that annoying friendly way. They had actual tips to make our shopping experience better. We will be returning to this store! Maybe even to get that rain jacket I fell in love with.

Not in a big way but all the small things you keep in your home- key chains, picture frames, charms, candies and countless nick-nacks. It is almost aggressive in its 'not a part of the civil war' theme that flows through the rest of the town and that alone makes it refreshing. The souvenirs sold here will not remind you of your trip to the town but they are nice and if you've any Irish in you, great grand father Andrew Burke thank you very much, it has an appeal. The one thing I would like to see to push it right to the top are more proper clothes insteado f the few patchwork patterned items and t-shirts they display but this may well be a direction they don't want to take the shop.

I've been going to Fishbone for years and they've always been nice. Same people have been there for EVER so they know what they're doing. It's a fun place to go because they have a bit of everything. Lots of shoes, especially. Like, skate brands, urban brands but also ones that your mom would want, like Vionic or Dansko. Plus all the trendy ones the teenagers love like Vans, Converse, Adidas. In the winter they got some killer boots and I got a fantastic pair of Hoka One One running shoes there before. They also have sportswear and outdoor brands like Patagonia and Mountain Hardwear (which they just started carrying in women's sizes, whoo-hoo!!). Some Marmot too, I think? And disc golf discs! But also they got trinkets and fun stuff. Like Funko Pops, hemp necklaces, Manic Panic hair dye, tie-dye everything, posters, concert tees. Also THE BEST place for hats in the mall. Hands down. Hanover Mall doesn't got a Lids, so this place kinda nails that vacancy. They change their inventory a lot. I remember seeing yo-yos and juggling equipment back in the day. Give them a try, it's always changing.

Don't know how the same people could have worked there for years when I only saw teenage employees on both occasions I went in the store.

Clearly too big for the kid and was never used, not mounted, and they would not take it back though their policy clearly states exchange for store credit accepted with receipt. Error by the staff means customer problem. They even have sizing charts on some of their complete boards and ignorant employee failed to utilize it!! I won't take my business there again.
