Well color me happy, there’s a hat shop in the Paseo! And if you haven’t been, you are missing out my friends. As the clever name suggests, there are hats for men and women! Number one best thing that happens in here: true, old school, personal service, one on one. Directly from the owner-shopkeeper-milliner to you, the customer. From talking with you about what you want your hat for, to helping you select the perfect style, materials and colors. Number two best thing that happens here: you get to hang out with Marla, the owner, who is likely one of the most darling humans ever. Ten years in a Brooklyn hat shop before moving home to settle down and set up shop in Oklahoma will do that to a person. Number three: you get a badass hat. You may have to wait a few weeks, but the end result is so totally worth it. And don’t think it is cost prohibitive. I’ve spent more on some dumb rags at TJ Maxx when I was bored than this thoughtful, handmade, wonderful hat cost, and I’ll have it forever. Number four: You get a hat box, yo! It is so cool. Like, I hope to one day have a whole closet, just for my hatboxes. Number five: If the phone rings while you’re here, you’ll get to hear this: «Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen.» And that is just too funny. Do yourself a favor, and go see sweet Marla, and buy a hat!
