I've been a longtime customer of this hatter and have had positive experiences here in the past,…read morewhich is why today's visit was so disappointing. I brought in a Rockin' C wool felt hat to have it shaped. The female hatter who assisted me was dismissive and condescending, stating that the hat "could not be shaped with steam," and adding that "it's unfortunate that some people are just uneducated about hats." This was said in a way that felt unnecessary and unprofessional. While I fully understand that not all hatters choose to work on wool felt hats -- and that results can vary -- there is a respectful way to communicate that. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. I was also told I could leave the hat for the weekend "to see," as there were two men ahead of me, which felt dismissive given my prior history with the shop. I've brought higher-end hats here before and was treated very differently, so the inconsistency in service was disappointing. Craftsmanship is important, but so is customer respect. I hope this feedback helps the shop reflect on how returning customers are treated.

When I mentioned how I thought this was insensitive to the children recently murdered in Florida by this weapon, I got weak replies along the lines of their inability to control what people sold in their store. "We are all sensitive to what happened in Florida", one said. "Not if you condone this," was my reply. So, as far as I'm concerned, this store is doing their part to glorify one of the most deadly weapons society has seen.

The owner greeted us, gave us some history of the building, and told us they have been in business 26 years!
