What arguably is considered located within a "Tourist Trap" district, simply due to the level of tourism and the proliferation of shops that sell various forms of "I've visited" or "I've been there" merchandise that shouts out the location when worn, is Malee's of Newport, RI. Actually not sure the spelling used on Yelp is accurate, but this will not be confused with some competing location of similar name.
My credit card listed this shop as "MALEE' INTERNATIONAL", so with an apostrophe after the last "e", but no "s". Frankly, I think it is not an apostrophe, but rather the French accent aigu!
In any case, of all the touristy merchandise available in and around d Newport, this shop had as wide and as varied a collection as any. In looking for something that would fit my ideal of a baseball-style cap, the shopkeeper was helpful in finding just what I was searching for, which started with color and badging, but also had the sort of rear adaptive sizing closure I wanted, which was NOT with Velcro, but with a moveable clasp. It is also high-quality 100% cotton and handmade by DPC.
You be the judge, as I offer to you here the photographic evidence of my purchase. Even if this is would not be your choice, there is a wide selection in this shop and it is one to stop in when looking for this type of souvenir in Newport. read more
