Take some time to find the perfect hat from their incredible international inventory. The expert team will give you honest answers about what looks great on you! Little known fact: hats need upkeep, and Eclipse is the place to go. Steam, shape, replacing an interior band--Eclipse does it all. I love bringing family and friends to this local shop that makes Seattle unique." I get so many complements on my sun hats from Eclipse read more

I'm so happy I popped into this shop! I was searching for the perfect hat for a "hats off" holiday ball and was pleasantly surprised by the warmth and selection this shop has. The service was great and they offer high quality products at a reasonable value. They even threw in a free hat pin and handkerchief. I don't consider myself a hat person, but I am absolutely now shopping for outfits to pair with my new hat. What a great endorphin booster - thank you! read more

Every time I get a chance to stop on by, I'm greeted and treated extremely well. Both Sharon and Diego are great to work with, and so knowledgeable. I've purchased a few hats here, and since Sharon had to order more product from CAPAS, she let me put in an order for a 6-panel patchwork cap from CAPAS. When it came in, she notified me and I came into the shop. Such great customer service. I miss Byrnie Utz but I'm so glad I found Eclipse. read more

We came by here in search of some sun protection and left with 4 hats and stellar customer service. Diego was great measuring my partner's size for his first ever hat - he had never found anything before that was sized correctly. And I found several stylish hats I fell in love with. Diego was exceptional - no a hard sell more just introducing us to the styles and choices then letting us decide. He listened to our feedback and helped us find what we didn't even know we needed. read more

They need to get their hours straight. One site says 6:00 their front door says something else and then their VM recording says another. Drove down and was disappointed to see they were already closed. Waste of trip read more

This little hat shop is bigger than it looks. They actually have a lot of inventory in the back, and a highly skilled staff. When they didn't have quite what I wanted at first, they were able to order some options to find the perfect hat. Highly recommended! ~Cannon EyeCare @ Pike Place's Market Optical read more

Due to my schedule, it took me a while to get there when they are open, but well worth the wait. Extreme high quality personal service with attention to details and very knowledgeable of their product that they carry. Highly recommended. read more

My experience at Eclipse Hat Shop was astronomical. I got exactly the high quality I was looking for from Sharon, the efficient and super knowledgeable owner. My Indiana Jones hat lives again. Thank you Eclipse for the great experience and my treasured hat is revived. I found this hat shop to offer affordable and excellent service. read more

I work as a dispatcher, and as part of my work I like to wear a good hat. It's a philosophy - you put on the hat when you walk in, you take all the crap the job has to throw at you, you take it off at the end of the day and leave all that stress behind you. Sharon found me the absolute perfect hat for the job. I feel like Indiana Jones. Work is an adventure with it on. And outside I don't have to worry about my face getting sunburnt. She and Diego both are super knowledgeable, and the collection of hats they tend to are so so cool. With them on you're saavy, stylish and can handle whatever the world throws at you. Definitely the best haberdashery in Seattle. I'd check it out if I were you. - Sharon's #1 fan, Nikki read more

I am a hat person, but my fedoras are the hats closest to my heart. I have a couple dozen, vintage and new. When JFK went hatless at his 1960 inauguration, fedoras were yanked out of mainstream fashion. That's too bad because they look infinitely superior to baseball caps. After studying about fedoras, I purchased a few new ones, and a whole bunch of vintage hats. Now the pandemic lock down is over, and I am ready to don my fedoras once again. Finding the Eclipse Hat Shop for a fedora aficionado, is akin to discovering an oasis in the Sahara Desert. The owner/proprietor Sharon is an expert, and knows her stuff. She will sell you a quality hat, one that flatters your face and fits your head. Too many men buy hats too small for their head. Sharon will take care of you and your noggin, and her gregarious personality will provide entertainment. Go and discover the Eclipse Hat Shop yourself. It is a Seattle treasure. read more

What a great find!! While vacationing we stumbled upon Eclipse Hat Shop. Diego and Sharon were very patient and helpful. Both offered constructive opinions and picked out a variety of styles and colors for me try on. I ended up buy a hat that I would have never considered before, Thanks Diego. I ended up buying two hats...really wanted a third but was concerned about packing them for the flight home. If you like hats, or even if you don't think you do...stop by and see Diego and Sharon you won't regret it. read more

Sought Eclipse out since my old DT fave closed to make room for a new condo. Was very happy w/ great selection of panamas. Broke tradition and bought a soft brown colored hat from a German owned Co. making hats in Eqyadore. It is super high quality, the price was good (not a cheap purchase) and the fit was nothing less than perfect. The lovely proprietress fit me w/ a jaunty but understated band feather, and threw in a spare (my second choice) just for good measure. I'm a for real hat guy... Eclipse is all that! read more

Small shop behind the market with a nice collection of hats and good service. I ended up buying one and I have been happy with it.

Sharon and Diego at Eclipse are so welcoming and helpful. They saw that I left my dog in the car and invited her in for a bowl of water. There was hot tea for the customers and they treat you like a friend. They have a large selection of hats and patiently helped me find the perfect one for a gift. They also repair your hats. Sharon is very talented at what she does and dedicated to her work, she knows someone's hat size just by looking at a picture of them. Very cool hats and great deals. ~Laura & Sadie read more

Still the coolest hat shop in town she is so knowledgeable she truly loves hats all hats she fitted my son perfectly we will definitely be back your a hat ROCKSTAR read more

This is a rare find! An artisan and restorer, Sharon has talent and an eye for style and is a perfectionist when it comes to a hat. She knows her stuff. She renovated my Dad's 1950s hat. I am so pleased with it. She cleaned it (it had years of dirt and was stained) and sourced new ribbon and redid the inside too! Brings me so much joy to have the hat restored to its previous glory. read more

Sharon is great and she knows her hats! I was there about a month ago and spent close to an hour trying on a variety of cool hats! Ended up leaving with a couple! Great, personalized experience! If you need a hat or want to learn about hats, go here! read more

Nice collection of hats, but very rude and disrespectful staff. The only hat shop in the area which I think is the reason why the owner (or a staff member) feels free to treat customers however she wants. When I went into her shop, at first I thought she was joking with another customer when she told them that their dog farted and that they need to leave the store.... My son (7 year old) liked a flat cap so we took it and were looking for a Fedora for me which was the main reason for our visit. While looking at the fedoras the lady suddenly took the cap from my son and put it back on the stack of hats. Unfortunately I didn't take this very serious and I ignored it, but I wish I had not and had left that store right then and would have had a better day. She then gave me a couple fedoras to try on. She said that the one of them looked good on me hence she's going to sell it to me at a lesser price. The price of that particular hat was a bit high while it also felt a bit loose around my head with the crown sitting on top of my head, so I asked her if she could give me the same discount on the other hat instead. Her response to my request was that I cannot afford to wear these hats and suddenly grabbed the hat and pushed me out of the store. (not forcefully but very disrespectfully by tapping on my back and directing me towards the door). And closed the door behind us! I was speechless of her rude attitude wondering how could someone treat people like this? I wonder how the other people in the store felt about what she did... Bottom line, if this were to be only hat shop on earth I would not go there nor recommend it to anyone. Very rude and disrespectful... terrible experience. I wish there was a zero rating option... read more

I despaired of finding a real store with a good selection of hats, but this place is a FIND! Easy to find, near the Pike Place Market. Very good inventory. The owner knows the inventory thoroughly and spent all the time necessary to find what was just right for me. Seattle is fortunate to have this little shop. read more

Its hard to find a good hat shop with a lot of quality selections in Seattle. Eclipse hat shop was easily accessible, Sharon measures your head as you enter and happily assist with finding the perfect hat! read more

Once again, a truly great hat store in Seattle! The owner, Sharon, really knows her hats and has just a terrific collection. She's a pleasure to deal with, too. Many different kinds of hats are to be found here, as well as accessories like hat bands and other ornamentation. I got a fabulous Panama hat (well, from Ecuador) hand made by a master craftsman, highest quality, just beautiful. They have expensive Italian designer hats and more modestly priced everyday wool hats. Lots of styles. If you're a hat person, you owe it to yourself to check this place out. If you miss Bernie Utz, this is your new place to go for your hats. I'm grateful we have another great hat shop in Seattle! read more

Go see Sharon, the owner of Eclipse. This is a woman owned business. Wonderful hats, plus years of experience refurbishing and repairing. Sharon is the real thing. I love this shop! read more

Looking for the perfect hat to provide coverage from the Hawaii sun and on a recent trip to see family near Seattle, found Eclipse hats online. After reading all the reviews, and Sharon's responses, decided to give her a call today, just before the shop opened, to decide whether or not an hour long trip up the 5 was worth it. After speaking with Sharon for one minute, I knew I made the right decision and headed to the shop. Sharon was great! She showed me a variety of styles, tried on many, and found two perfect hats. However, then I was left with a choice between two Stetsons, one felt and one straw. What a dilemma! So,... I bought both, one I will certainly use in Hawaii and the other on all the other less warm days. Mahalo Sharon! read more

This is a REAL hat shop -not some touristy place with cheapo hats. Yes, they have hats for all budgets, but their selection is well-curated and every hat is a good one. I'm a hat guy, and was very impressed with their knowledge of hats. They did not try to sell me the most expensive hat, but really worked to find me a hat that suited me. I ended up with a beautiful vintage hat that will fit in well with my hat collection. Highly recommended shop! read more

Sharon is awesome. She has lots of energy and gave me lots of recommendations. I had a challenge keeping up with her, in the end we purchased four hats that made me fill good how I looked and made me feel younger. I would certainly recommend this shop to anyone wanting something other than a baseball cap! read more

This is absolutely my favorite hat shop in the country! I live in Chicago but make it a habit to visit this wonderful store every time I'm in Seattle. Sharon sure knows her hats and knows what's going to look good on me. I'm amazed at the fantastic selection she has in her store. read more

** The shop entrance is located on Western Ave, not in the market building ** Great selection, and Sharon was very lovely and really made us feel welcome. I will happily buy from her again in the future. read more

The owner is absolutely wonderful! I came in to get a wool hat sized up and she could not have been more genuinely happy to help me. I wish I had more time to browse and buy something, but I had to run. This will be my first stop for my next hat needs! read more

my partner and I followed chalk drawn hats from pikes market in deep curiosity. It was like we were in a Alice and wonderland scavenger hunt for what the hats could mean. As we followed the hats and arrows, we found ourselves wondering where we'd be ending up. Could this be some sort of underground tea party? Are we going to be seeing a magic show? Sure enough it was all of the above when Sharon showed us just how great we looked donned in hats that made us wranglers, French artists, Irish golfers, guests of a Gatsby party, or even as Carmen San Diego. She shows me a hat that changed my look entirely, a red carpet worthy experience and I would recommend everyone visit the store to have an incredible experience and warm their hearts and heads in a supremely beautiful store with fun in every drawer read more

My husband was in search of a Panama hat during our stay in Seattle. After doing a quick Google search, we headed directly to this shop and were greeted by Sharon (owner) who knows hats and her merchandise. She spent a solid 30 minutes with us helping my husband find the perfect hat for him. When he settled on a gorgeous hat which needed some special care, Sharon immediately realized it was not the right hat for him based on his lifestyle and directed him to an equally beautiful, albeit slightly less expensive, hat. It was more important to Sharon that he own the right hat. We left giddy and satisfied. I urge anyone who wants a true hat shop to make a beeline to this gem of a store. You will not be disappointed! read more

Excellent selection of hats and accessories! And the owner is very knowledgeable! Great service too!

The staff was very friendly and the selection was very cool! Right on the waterfront under pike place, a fun shop to visit!
