On long term travel in Denver. Hat shop and hat cleaner recommendations please?

[freakdog]

Hi,

I'm on long term travel in Denver and I'm looking for a recommendation for a hat shop. I'm looking for either a new or vintage Homburg. Also does anyone have a recommendation for a hat cleaner/reblocker in preferably the south Denver environs?

Thanks!
Larry

I don't know how mobile you are, but the only thing that comes to mind is a place called Greeley hatworks, which I think is about an hour north. I don't know a thing about that shop, but they have a website: greeleyhatworks.com.

Good luck!

Yeah, the problem is that everything around here is cowboy hats

Larry, when I lived in Denver from '97 to '01, there was a men's haberdashery in the Five Points area that specialized in fedoras. I bought my mink Stetson Chatham there. Unfortunately I can't recall the name, but the shop was on the major shopping street. Ask someone how to find Five Points -- it's at the northern end of the light rail that runs through LoDo (downtown).

I'd guess the big western wear outfitters that sell lots of hats could also do cleaning and reblocking.

In Denver, for hat cleaning and blocking you might try Sheplers western wear on East Orchard Road, just off I-25. Here's a link: http://www.sheplers.com/storelocations.cfm
For nice hats, you could try Ted's Clothiers on So Broadway, Downtown Englewood. Link: http://www.tedsclothiers.com/
For vintage hats, try Antique Row on South Broadway, just south of I-25, in Denver.

I also think Ted's is a good choice, but be aware, they are not cheap. Contact info: 3476 South Broadway
Englewood, Co 80113 (Just South of downtown Denver)
Tel: 303-781-1382 . Good Luck and Welcome to Colorado!

Greeley Hat works would be worth the trip north. They do more than cowboy hats. Knowledgeable, friendly folks. The restoration work they have done for me is top notch. Nice custom work as well.
Highly recommended.

They've done good work on my vintage hats too. Also on a fine Panama hat. Actually, the only reason I ever heard of them in the first place was because Village Hat Shop recommended them to me once for work on a Panama I bought from Village.
