Please allow me to appologize for the "Cold Service" that you may have received at our store. This is not a common occurance, and will not be tolerated in our stores. Please pm me with the particulars as to which store, and if you can, which salesperson. It is hard enough getting the customers...

It's great to see the young men in the music industry getting into hat wearing. If you watch the new Kid Rock Video "Roll On", it showcases some of the finer points of Downtown Detroit. At about the 1 min, 8 sec mark, look for your favorite Metro Detroit Hat Store.

Best Hat Store? I'm sure that each retailer that sees this thread would like to see their name on this list. Each has a distinct customer base and would easily consider their store to be the best. For our stores, with only the 3rd owner in 116 years, consistincy in Customer Service is key...

Store Closing Kind of sad for me. As a newly married, fresh faced kid from Hamtramck, I was hired by The Wassermans to operate that store for them. My first 16 years were in that store, since then I've been working in Southfield, Detroit, and working the Internet store. Here it is 25 years...

Store Closing Yes, it is true. Henry The Hatter is closing the Hamtramck Michigan location. The stores in Detroit, and Southfield Michigan WILL REMAIN OPEN. The retail district in Hamtramck, MI seems to be even worse than the surrounding communities. In 1985, when Henry The Hatter...

Jim in Detroit Jim from JW Hats and his son visit Henry The Hatter in Detroit, to look at some hat manufacturing equiptment no longer in use. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v732/joedahat/72.jpg Photo shows Joe Renkiewicz, Manager at Henry The Hatter, Jim, and Paul Wasserman, owner of...

Pliofilm Undertow, with the size of 7 5/8, the only size that we would ever stack on top of that would be a size 8, and as you know, not many of those around. I believe that Sharptoys had mentioned Capas Headwear sells the pliofilm in more reasonable quantities of less than a case of 3,000...

Nice pick up Bud, I wish we could still get those here in Detroit.

Hat Stacking Here are some photos of how we stack the hats. It really depends on the trim and the finish of the hat.

In Detroit that is what we called "The Robin Hood". Very popular in the late '60's. We still get them in for Cleaning & Blocking. 3 years ago we even sent samples out to see if they could be re-made today. No luck as of yet.

Hat Stacking At our stores, we do stack 3 sizes apart. Stack 1 = 7, 7 3/8, & 7 3/4 together. Stack 2 = 6 3/4, 7 1/8, 7 1/2, 7 7/8. Stack 3 = 6 7/8, 7 1/4, 7 5/8, 8. Pliofilm in between each. Sometimes if the ribbon treatment is thicker, we will use the sponge rings to prevent any damage.

Hey Daniel, That's the exact hat he's looking for. Do I smell an offer? Anyway, D00R, It's really more of how the proportions of the hat will look on you. Of the Trenton Hat, the crown is smaller and tapered, thus giving the brim a wider look. We carry a hat called "The Dillinger" which has a...

Hey D00R, What you need to do is visit your local hat store, if nothing else but to see if that style you are looking for will suit "Your Style". Just because you saw someone else in a hat that you thought looked good, dosen't mean it will look the same on you. As a hat salesman myself, the...
