In town for my sister-in-law's wedding, the Hat Box was the obvious choice for any of the guests…read morewho needed to buy the proper hat for the event. The space is small and packed with beautiful hats. The crowd of Americans somewhat overwhelmed the space, particularly in the warm July weather. But Gillian worked with each of us to find the right hat. She selected the perfect hat right away for most of us. I continued to try on hats while the others arrived, not wanting the fun of hat shopping to be over. There were several that I loved enough to consider buying a whole new dress to match... but in the end, it was the first she'd recommended that I selected. After talking more with her, she said that she could add some feathers that matched my dress if I would bring it back. I paid for the hat, but left it there so that she could add the feathers after I brought the dress back to match. While wandering around the rest of the covered market, I saw the most gorgeous exaggerated brim hat with curlicue in yellow and black that I just had to have. My husband asked Gillian to see it, and she fetched the porter for the key. The hat was amazing, but because of the price and because I was coming back for the feather matching the next day, Gillian advised me to sleep on it. The next day I returned for the feather matching and the yellow hat. With feathers selected, and yellow hat fetched, I asked about hatboxes, since I wouldn't have been able to get these beauties back to the US without one. Gillian at first mentioned that her boxes were quite large, but the yellow hat just fit at an angle, with room for my wedding hat underneath - perfect. Another of the wedding party was able to pick up my hat with the feathers added next day. The wedding hat was perfect (love that most of the hats are on headbands now to secure them to your head) and brought many compliments, as did all the hats purchased by my fellow American wedding guests. Both hats made it back to the US unharmed, though the rope of the box tore through one of the carrying holes in the process. I highly recommended for your hat needs in Oxford! 2019 Reviews #16

It's unwearable and when I sent it back to the company they gave me a ludicrous response that bleach as been spilled on the cap.

This is an overpriced company that treats their products and specially their costumers very poorly. Don't buy from them, you've been warned!

If you're planning on walking along Brighton beach in the autumn or winter, you'll need a hat…read more Really. The Brighton wind is relentless and if you don't have a hat you'll end up with a head cold AND your hair blow-dried into a weird style. Staying wrapped up with a scarf, gloves and hat is the only way to survive the seafront intact and luckily, Mad Hatters is a shop that specialises in hats. They sell felt, cord and wool trilbys in every colour and fabric imaginable. For the more daring, they also sell berets, spanish panamas, stetsons, top hats, bowler hats and leather caps. As we all know, I love cowboys and cowgirls but a stetson would last about, erm, 3 seconds on the seafront...

Old Hat is *the* place for vintage menswear / vintage men's suits. It's a great shop. My boyfriend…read morewas always moaning that East London and other vintage shops just don't have really high class, proper matching suits for *all* sizes (he's quite slim and not a big tall buff guy, if you know what I mean but not a whippet either), he always finds it hard to get fitted suits that are vintage. This place is now his mecca. The attire is proper gentlemen's clothes / suits and something a little more special than some of the trash in East London or the cheap nonsense in Central London. If you are a man and a fan of vintage clothes, this should be your first stop - these guys pride themselves on specialising on vintage suits and they really are the best I've found.

Such a nice touch and factors into what you are getting when you purchase a hat. They were even so kind to offer to steam and pack the I came wearing bc I was eager to wear the new hat I purchase. We LOVED this beautiful spot.

Titferfat Hats is a glorious little shop tucked away in an alley near Richmond Green. It must do a…read moreroaring trade, because the ladies of Richmond attend a vast array of hat- wearing events. I am not much of a hat wearer - I have a ginormous head with a thick thatch of hair, and hardly fit any hats (I don't mean I am big headed in an egotistical way - not humble lil' me!). I'm sure, though, that I would find something to fit here. Especially because the designers can make bespoke hats to order. You can find, or have made any style of hat here. Titfertat are known for wedding hats, but they also do a wide range of casual, trendy, seasonal (plenty of warm winter hats), as well as hand made feather head pieces.

I had quite an unexpected surprise when I took two hats to the till and had to pay £170. The hats I…read morehad in my hands weren't made of gold or of such significant craftsmanship, and neither my brother or I received any assistance that would justify such an absurd price for items that could be had anywhere else for a fraction of the cost. It would be helpful to make the cost apparent. Maybe it was a matter of two brown men walking into a shop in a certain part of London, thereby breaching some sort of unwritten rule, but the staff were inattentive and ignored us the entire time we were in the store except for when I went to pay. If you want a quality hat, take the train to Brighton and go to Mad Hatters where you will find better service, selection, and have enough left over to get a meal after the cost of a hat and return train fare.

I dropped some major coin today on Pitfield Street…read more Within one block I got my hair done (ESHK Salon), a hat to go on top of it (CA4LA), and then some lovely gifts and lunch at Pitfield. Literally...within one little street there are just so many ways to spend hard earned cash. Such is life. Sometimes you want a ridiculous hat. Ok, so its not really that ridiculous, a beautifully handmade knit cap with fluffy ball atop it, just perfect for the days when you don't wish to do your hair, but need to look presentable. In a burnt orange with brown "floof" certainly I can pass as...not only passable, but fashionable. At 71 quid, let's hope so. I poked around for a bit more looking for a few gifts, but couldn't find the "just right" things for a few others on my list. The gal working was quite nice, the selection luxurious but down to earth. Things of course are a bit pricey, but it's surely one of the most charming hat shops in all of London. A shop entirely devoted to hats. Imagine it! Imagine them. Draped over antiques, displayed artfully in trunks, laid neatly on the counter. If you couldn't find something to cover your head here...you probably could not find it anywhere. I'm going to cherish my purchase (my gift to myself this year!). *Japanese designers. *No refunds or exchanges, no kidding.
