As the title says - I’m going to a theme party tomorrow, and I could use a fedora. Does anyone in DC know where I could buy one at short notice?

There’s a hat shop in the mall in Georgetown. Second floor, hard to miss.

Years ago there was a hat shop in Old Town Alexandria that may have been called Hats in the Belfry. I don’t know it it’s still there.

There’s always Brooks Brothers as well, though a quick check online shows that they have boaters and Panama hats, and are thin on fedoras for the spring.

Actually, I need the dingy office, drinking problem, and dame who I’ll know is nothing but trouble as soon as she walks in. (Great gams, though.) 😉

So where did you buy your hat and how was the party? 🙂 If I’d seen your post in time I could have lent you one of mine.

Good place!
I bought my Borsalino fedora at the Philly store last year. Wore it today in the snow, as a matter of fact.
