[Justdog]

Thought I would share a few pics of the Toronto Hatter.
One of the very rare remaining hatters.

Website

Where in toronto? Do they have a website?

No website no computer. The hatter has been in the business for 30 plus years.
Have to go down and visit or phone. The last one that went out of business did not even have a phone:eusa_doh:
And all the hats including the Borsalinos are in Canadian dollars

It's the only store in Toronto that I know of that offers hat cleaning and blocking services
It is located in North York at 1794 Avenue Road Tel. 416-783-8233
They used to carry Akubra but stopped a few years back because of poor sales.

They were ordering Akubras the last time I was there but only certain products.

In one of the store pictures you can see some large Akubra boxes.
I'm going to try and get over there tomorrow and see what came out of them.

Cool. One of my recent e-bay purchases is from there, nice to see they still exist.

I'm finally close enough to visit. I'm also planning a trip to Guelph to check out the Biltmore facility and shop.

I purchase caps from them once in a while. A pretty good selection. Nothing to suit my tastes in fedoras. They had a couple of older stock Borsalinos in smaller sizes that were nice.

I once took 2 fedoras to them for some work and was VERY disappointed. Anyone in the area should consider Gary Moore in Buffalo. Workmanship doesn't come close to comparing.

MisterCairo,

As I remind everyone, the Biltmore store isn't open on Saturday, but they are open late on Thursdays.

just so people aren't confused, I beleiver you mean Gary White, the hatter in Buffalo. there is also a Major Mike Moore here on the lounge who is a hatter.


both come highly recommended.

I'm up there every 5 years or so and I think I'm do. Looks like a place to visit.

From what I know, they started out cleaning and blocking then later started selling hats, yet don't make their own.
