I do love my hats!…read more Like fine wine, I matured towards certain styles & brands as the years passed by. My favourite hat brand is Kangol. But I easily love the Bailey brand just as well. I've also worn Goorin Bros & Göttmann hats over the years. Fedoras, pork pie, & the mowbray styles are right up my alley. I'm not much into baseball style hats as they just don't fit my head quite right. Hats to me are part fashion & part protection - my bald head needs cover in the summer & cold winters. I recently needed a hat brim adjusted - my shooting range hat for when I'm firing away. I took notice of Cappelleria Bertacchi (Italian Hatcrafter) whenever I was in Gastown previously, so I'd thought I'd give it a go. It's not cheap, but I'm very happy & who can dare have issue with fine Italian craftsmanship!? Service was supreme - so feel free to pop in & ask anything hat related. CB specializes in hat cleaning, repair, reblocking, & hat customization. They also sell a wide range of hats & other fashion accessories. Located near the tourist popular Gastown (is it ever on time?) Steam Clock = easy to find.

I stumbled into this hat shop while on vacation and was provided with excellent guidance and…read moreservice from Saoirse (sp?). It was my first time shopping for a hat, so I appreciated Saoirse's questions, hat suggestions, and active listening skills to help me find something I would like. At one point, Saoirse had to step away, and her colleague tried to help me, but she unfortunately overwhelmed me with hat after hat, not really listening to what I was looking for. Saoirse came back, saw that I was overwhelmed, and insisted that I take a break and come back, which I really appreciated. I didn't end up going back because they didn't have the style and hat that I wanted in my size. However, I did order the hat directly from the milliner when I returned home. Thank you Saoirse for helping me find my first hat!

As a lover of hats and keeping my head warm in this damp often chilly climate, a shop devoted to…read morenothing but chapeau's is my idea of fabulosity! I have to say that this is one of the largest hat shops I have had the pleasure of being in and the selection of head-toppers is astronomical. From more familiar brand names like Kangol to obscure, imported and local types, if you cannot find a hat that you adore in this store, then it simply doesn't exist or you are simply too much of a picky bugga. Anyhow, one could spend hours searching out the perfect hat for the perfect occasion, from fedoras, straw hats, toques, fancy women's hats (for the races you know, or your next wedding), baseball caps and everything in between.

When Anyhat first opened last November, I was one of their first customers. I didn't think that…read morewe'd ever use a stand-alone hat store, but now that it's so cold outside, the owner musty be doing well. The styles and selection of hats are really cool: They have the hunter-style with flaps and faux-fur, they have regular top hats and touques. Knits, felts, leather and suede the colours, styles and selections are really great! Kangol, and other UK hard-to-find brands are also available. Oh, pet the dog while you can.

This review is not about their products but their attitude about the environment, neighborhood and…read morecustomer service. I had joined their Earth Day event: plogging. Plogging is jogging with picking up litters. However like this event organizer said, as they sells hiking shoes, not running shoes, we walked picking litters around Mount Pleasant area for 1.5-2 hours. We gathered quite a lot of litters and enjoyed walking with strangers. After we came back to the store, they served us nice refreshments (from neighbor bakery and coffee roasters!) and raffle for their jacket. $50 shopping voucher for all participants. What a generous gift! Repeating of pick and walk made me tired honestly but I'm glad they organized such wonderful event. I want to try next time too :)

Quality/Quantity: For being a fairly small store they still have a lot of souvenirs. Value: The prices were not bad. We grabbed a hat and a small bag of some rocks for $16 (US) so not bad. Overall: I'd stop in again if I'm the area.

Yes, their prices are higher than if you're shopping at Winners lol. And sometimes, I don't think it reflects the (lower) quality of some of the materials in some of their clothes. But if you shop there with intention and peruse the sales racks early, you can definitely find good value, because I think most of their stock is good quality.

It never seems to be that busy in the store so the staff are able to help you quickly and let you know which piece looks the best on you. They offered me complimentary tailoring to hem the jeans which was great, although the turnaround time was almost 2 weeks. If you were in a rush to wear them then this would be an issue. Overall, I would recommend this spot for quality items at a fair price.
