Henry the Hatter

I like this place, all the ladies sit around w/​they’re newsboy caps on that look great, and I think I even ran into the owner/​manager, Joe. But anyways, Ive nevr bought a hat here but I always take my vintage fedora’s here to get stretched, brushed, and reshaped if need be necessary. I like going in here because I like the experience and service. Go in there and know what you’re talking about or have an idea of what you want. I’ve even bought a few temperary interchangeable hat bands. Next time I want a grosgrain band though, since they are much thicker. I’m very crafty so I wont pay $ 25 for my hat to be «sent out» for a little bit of hat stiffiner spray when I can just go online, order some stiffiner myself to do what neeeds to be done. But I love how the employee’s inform you of all you’re options. I’ve also went to the dwntown original store, but its been awhile. I seen a $ 375 Christy’s bowler, cough cough, I’d search around online for that one, But I really like this place and I feel like they have something for everyone just about.

This place is the greatest.
I decided to have a «Treat Yo’ Self» day to celebrate my upcoming birthday.
Was looking at cool hats online and thought, I can’t pick out a hat online, a hat needs to be tried on to see how it fits the shape of your face etc…
So, I headed over to Henry’s and I’m glad I did.
At first I was a little put off by the sign that read something about not touching the hats or something like that, then I met Wayne the sales associate and he explained that he’s there to help me and that he knows where my size is and it just got messy to riffle through the hats when he knew where everything was at.
Makes sense, so with Waynes help I tried on dozens of hats. I ended up picking out a cool short brimmed wool fedora and a more neutral looking hound’s tooth Newspaper boy hat.
I have a couple more in mind for next time.
I don’t know why Men stopped wearing hats, but I’m glad I decided to take the leap away from beat up baseball caps and try out some more traditional styles.
Henry’s is a Detroit tradition and has a rich history. Wayne was really helpful and the prices were competitive with what I found on-​line.
Thanks Henrys.
