    If someone does not leave BM Franklin a five star review then I can 150% assure you that they are not of sound mind!!! I grew up in Buckhead and lived in Atlanta nearly all my life! These two guys are one of the best dynamic duos this town has ever seen. Their style is impeccable, and they are literally hand, making some of the highest quality hats in the entire country if not world, I would put them up against the greatest hat makers of our time. Best of all, they are two of the nicest most genuine guys you will ever meet and anyone who says otherwise Lacks moral aptitude.

    Hats off to the swag of this Black-owned small business on high street Buckhead Ave. Eye-catching merchandising draws in passersby. The artful and more importantly novel, creative setup allows patron to not only select from a variety of styles and trims, but also invites their participation in customizing. Namesake of the store and owner has a charismatic presence that both grounds and heightens this retail experience. Unlike hat shop of old, the vibe with a nod to millinery tradition yet a very current pulse and hands-on service, enhances the personalized purchase that is quality, sentimental and timeless.

    Super dope spot! This modern, eye catching hat shop is a creative store with beautiful custom products. How many black owned businesses do you know that make custom hats!? My mom and I stopped in during a Mother's Day afternoon of shopping at Buckhead village. These hats are gorgeous and there are so many designs to choose from! The owner was super kind and so passionate. We experienced watching a customer pick up a hat she ordered the day before, who was extremely satisfied with his service! The hats in here are just beautiful. Although we did not purchase anything this time, we will always keep this shop in mind and definitely spread the word!

    Rude and aggressive staff. They will get hostile if you are taking pictures outside their store.

    I don't recommend. I found them to be extremely rude when I visited. I believe it's the owner that I met.

They have so many beautiful hats and accessories that I got overwhelmed. However, they both were patient and offered great suggestions after asking me what I liked. It was an absolute privilege to witness how their staff all worked together and collectively created some beautiful hats for my friends and me. I went to an event later that day and got a ton of compliments on my hat, the quality of the material, and how unique it was. If you want an amazing accessory to take your outfit to the next level, get yourself a real hat! This is the best place ever!!!!

Placed a custom hat order in July 2026 with a $160 deposit, promised for August delivery. The storefront on Ponce has since closed. I have made repeated attempts to reach the owner, Stenzell -- by phone, email, and Instagram -- with no response of any kind. No refund has been offered or issued. If you are considering ordering from this business, be aware that as of this writing there appears to be no way to reach anyone associated with it. I will update this review if that changes.

    UPDATE: I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SHOE IN THIS STORE.. sorry Jeff I was rocking with you…read moreunfortunately, I came into Walter's to use store credit from a pair of shoes I returned in January. I was told when I made the return that all I'd need was my ID -- the store keeps the slip on file. When I gave my name and ID, the associate couldn't find my slip. Instead of continuing to look thoroughly, he accused me of already using the credit or that it wasn't in my name, suggesting I was trying to get over on the store. This was said in front of other customers, which left me feeling humiliated, disrespected, and singled out. I later found a picture of my slip and saw the store had made the error -- my name was written incorrectly on their end. Which was funny because I was told it was my fault and that in all the years the store had been operating, they had "never made a mistake." My name starts with an "S" why was there an "M" on the slip, I have no clue. Even after it was clear I was right, there was no apology or effort to make things right. In that moment, I did not feel I was given the same respect or fair treatment that another customer might have received. The entire interaction was unprofessional and extremely disappointing.
