JJ Hat Center

There is a standard of bias and prejudice in the world, and for once it has merit. This world, of course, is the realm of headwear.

A hat is not just a hat. Show up to a black tie affair in a tattered Yankees ballcap and prepare to have the red carpet pulled beneath you. Arrive at a white table cloth restaurant with a stunning woman and a bandanna, go home with take out and a lonely couch. Since 1911, JJ Hat Center has steered aspiring distinguished gentlemen away from such societal and fashion faux pas.

They are New York's senior experts, recognized globally as one of the most esteemed and renowned hat boutiques. For 101 years, the Gotham based purveyor of the classics has served generations, from nervous novices to well-versed veterans. The precise and polished art of the fedora, pork pie, beret and cap is not merely a job for the gentlemen at JJ Hat Center-it is a lifestyle. They will teach you the history behind each hat, as well as the proper care and ideal style. And, inadvertently, they will teach you Sinatra-like swagger.

And for that, JJ Hat Center … we tip our cap to you.
