In my hometown for a first visit since the pandemic hit, I stopped by Henri Henri to have a look at the selection, catch up with the owners, the delightful father and son team of Yannig and Joël Plunier, and to try on a few hats for size, I took a few rough and ready pictures which I'll share with you here.

Plunier père in front of the Borsas, a wonderfully personable and knowledgable fellow, we discussed hats, travel, and the joys of the well lived life. His son, who left before I took some pictures, was equally open and charming, and a fountain of knowledge and experience

Stetson Westerns, including a gorgeous rabbit fur Tom Mix.

Blocks, a Conformateur which they no longer use, and a functioning register older than I am

Front window, couldn't get a shot without the reflection

The ever present sign, a feature of the downtown shop that was there as long as I remember

Fantastic! Thanks for posting. As a hockey guy and a hat guy, who knew I'd come here and pick up such an amazing piece of trivia regarding the Hat Trick origin. I've been sharing their site with some hockey buds of mine.

I loved their original storefront with the shiny black tiles and silver letters. They should have kept that. :) I remember many stores in that style when I was a kid and I loved it.

Thanks for the trip to your local hatter. Just grand to see a brick and mortar hat store in operation.

Cheers, Eric -
