As far as I'm concerned, there is only one hat shop in NO- Meyer the Hatter. Been in the same location for over 100 years. Perhaps RedPop will weigh in...
Have a great time in the Big Easy!

Definitely THE best hat shop in New Orleans.....in fact the best in the entire region as far as I know. It's a relatively small shop....but PACKED with hats! Plus, there are untold numbers of hats "stored" in the rooms upstairs. Easy to find, located on St. Charles, just a block off of Canal in downtown NOLA.
Enjoy your visit!

Meyer's is great -- absolutely packed with hats! I guess Shushan's is another hat store in the Big Easy, but I've never actually been there. Anyone know anything about it?

Don't know if it's still there, but...
I bought a real nice Dobbs straw years ago at Hats In the Belfry in Jackson Square.

Shushan's is a very nice shop located on Jackson Square. They have a nice selection of hats......very much worth the time to check them out (especially since these two stores are probably only a quarter-mile from each other). If you are looking to pick up a distinctive shirt such as a nice Guayabera(sp?) or the like.....you CERTAINLY should check this place out.

Like most residents, I don't get to these places because they're off MY beaten path. I've been in Meyer a few times, but since it's down in the Central Business District, I'm usually too busy, I don't get down there. Lack of funds is always puts a damper on things as well, between not wanting to pay to park well,I'm a cheapskate.
Anyway, it's a classic, the few times I've been there.
Sadly, their repair guy retired a couple years ago, and he hasn't been replaced. I forgot about Shushan's. They DO have nice shirts.

Meyer
I go out of my way to visit Meyer. For anyone visiting New Orleans, it is only two blocks from the Quarter. Their great selection has been mentioned, but I've also always found their customer service to be first rate as well. My last purchase their was a green bowler for Mardi Gras and St. Patrick's. I don't normally buy hats for specific events, but down here the green bowlers are really something else at St. Patrick's. My wife loves to go down there as well, because they have great hats for ladies, and Mrs. Meyer is quick to offer the use of her rest room to a pregnant woman. I have learned a whole new appreciation for places with good bathrooms since my wife and I started having children.
