Goorin Bros.

How many hat stores are there? Whaddaya want? It’s a hat store! Excellent and knowledgeable staff. Writing this review reminded me I have a hat on hold… gotta run… to the hat store.

This place is absolute paradise – it’s situated in an old heritage building, and the feel takes you right back to the early decades of the 1900’s. Lovely, inviting, and classy!
This place has all the shapes, sizes, and styles of hats that you could want – boaters, fedoras, flat caps, baseball hats, cadets – if you love hats, do not pass this place up. If you’ve seldom or never ventured into the world of hats but considered doing so, this is a great place to get yourself started with something of great quality, with really friendly and helpful staff on hand. Some of these hats can get pretty damn pricey, but for the quality I’m happy to spend a pretty penny to grab a great hat that I know I’ll be wearing frequently and for a long time.
So far Vancouver and Toronto are the only cities lucky enough to have Goorin Bros. branches in Canada, so I’m thoroughly disappointed to be out in Calgary, but I’m hoping they will one day be able to open up some more Canadian stores :) Be sure that every time I do visit Van though, I pick up a hat to bring back with me!

This is hat shop is cooler than it has any business being. Similar to another hat shop in Gastown whose name I will not mention, however, they specialize in specific styles in various colors. Great customer service and prices are very competitive.

This place is adorable and the hat selection is top notch. The BEST thing is they carry several sizes in hats which you think would be a more common occurrence for hat shops? You’d be wrong! Tiny melon people and big melon people can hold hands in unity; this shop understands your needs. Staff are very friendly and helpful too!

Every time I’m in vancouver I ultimately drop by this place and can’t stop buying a new hat. The staff is great and the quality and range of hats is great! They give you a buy 10 get one free card and you’ll say to yourself ’10 hats — that’s crazy!!)’. A couple years later and right stamps down the road tells another story.
I also recently bought a toque and scarf in the Toronto location to avoid the cold, both are also excellent products.

Hat heaven!!!
You had me at fedoras… Amazing store in Yaletown. Some of the styles bring you back to the 1920’s to 40s to todays present styles. I love hats in general and this store is made for and hat lovers and those who are just looking to add some swag into there wardrobe. The hats themselves are great quality, the Goorin Bros know there hats.

This place came up repeatedly when searching for a hatter in Vancouver to buy a Panama hat. My wife, stepdaughter, & I checked it out an walked away with two great quality hats.
Selection and service were top shelf. They also have stores in Toronto so check it out!

How I manage to fight temptation and walk out of this place without a hat is beyond me. Their selection is amazing. They really do have a fit for every head/​face. The staff here really does know their product and they usually don’t mind sharing the company’s history!

Got lousy servies at Edie’s, so went here. Glad we did.
Now that I’m on the other side of 40, I tend to slot young people into demographic age categories. The young man who was helping my wife was 15 – 25 years old, with a scraggly beard, multi-​colored high tops, and his pants waist hanging somewhere just north of his knees. He was also helpful, insightful, friendly, knowledgeable, and heck, even charming.
My wife, god bless her, gravitated towards the $ 150 handmade in PIttsburgh, structured wool hat. It looked so cute that I would be an ogre to object to her buying it. So she did, and she’s super happy about it.
Great shop, great hats, great staff. Highly recommended.

I’m not in the habit of wearing a hat, but we went to Goorin Bros. for my husband. He was looking for a snazzy new flatcap and this is the place! When we arrived, a live jazz ensemble was playing and a bartender was pouring drinks at the open bar. «Isn’t this a hat shop? Have we crashed a private party?» I wondered… but no! It was the Yaletown 30’s swing social! What a great place. My husband had pre-​measured his head before going so he knew what size he needed. He ended up purchasing the Matias flatcap, the first one he tried. The prices are very reasonable and the quality appears good, too. He was given a 15% discount towards his next purchase and a card to build up to his 11^th hat free. The staff were all very friendly and nattily dressed. And I enjoyed a refreshing drink while he did his shopping. We look forward to our next visit to Goorin Bros.

I’m not a hat addict. Even while living in San Francisco and I still haven’t come across one of their shop. I’m that person who will wear a hat on a sunny day or a bad hair day for a morning trek.
My son loves wearing hats. We bought him a fedora in a baby store and I was intrigued by the make and quality of it that I actively searched foe the brand — Sand Cassel — and which led me to Goorin Brothers at Yaletown.
Wow this place will definitely make you a hat addict. The interior is old school classy straight from your Grandpa’s den. The service is friendly and cool. They will help you out, chat with you, or leave you alone as you try on the hundreds of hat styles and fabrics. It’s next to impossible leaving without being enamoured into falling for and walking out with a hat.
Prices range from «oh that’s all?» to «are you serious?». Keep a look out for specials as well as incentives to buy 10 hats to get the 11^th free.
Before zeroing on a hat. Check your head sizing prior or at the store to know your proper fit. From there you can now start spending the rest of the day trying one hat after another.
The lighting isn’t the best for scrutinizing the hat materials so feel free to check yourself outside the shop.
With Vancouver missing out on so many other shops, we’re lucky to have this one because they feel we are that cool enough. And with that I tip my hat to you, Sir.

Back to the future at Goorin Bros hats, the old is the new and a very satisfying selection there is walls & walls to choose from male female & uni as well. Staff super friendly, and they a special hat stretcher which makes the fit that much better. My last 3 hats are from here a bit of an addiction actually… with that said Im off to see my hat therapist

Just bought a BEAUTIFUL hat here!
Service with a smile, and they weren’t even guaranteed a sale from me but let me rip around and try on 25+ hats until there it was. And I was sold.
not to mention they had a ‘prohibition party’ that night so it was quite easy to like them ;D

I love hats. Aviator, Beret, Bowler, Bonnie, Cloche, Fedora, Flat/​Newsboy, Homburg, Straw… you name it, I can think of someone who should wear it and I will love the whole experience.
Goorin Brothers has a really fabulous selection of colours, sizes, shapes and designs of all sorts of different hats. You looking for a hat? Go here, they have hats and the help to match. Although they don’t have fruit hats. Not that I was needing one, but you might, but I’d still ask, you never know what you’ll get.
The store is quite large and the hats are spread out really nicely with access to a bunch of different mirrors so you don’t have to fight your way to see yourself in your fabulous new chapeau.
They also have all sorts of different sizes. Being blessed with the largest head known to this part of the world (slight over exaggeration) I often have a hard time finding hats that fit in the style I like. Well Goorin Brothers does a great job of keeping all sorts of hats in stalk.
The staff are friendly, the prices are reasonable and the hats are fabulous.
The lighting in the store is pretty sad, the staff even admit it so I’d hop outside to see the true you with your new hat, but all in all, it’s a winner!

Cool hats of ever shape and color. Have to go back when I have some free time, I was in here like an hour trying on different hats.
Ended up with one of their limited edition fitted caps, so awesome. You can tell the people that make these have a passion for what they do.

I absolutely love hats! I also absolutely love hats on men. Our 2^nd anniversary came along and the theme is cotton. I suddenly had the inspiration to find my husband a cotton hat so I went to Goorin Bros. The man working (Sumid? Not sure of spelling or if I remember correctly) was so helpful. The hats are stunning and priced fairly considering their quality and unique-​factor. I found a gorgeous linen/​cotton blend, fold down brim hat for summer with beautiful blue trim that will make his blue eyes pop. They have a card that you get stamped and the 11^th is free. I will definitely fill that sucker up!

Perhaps if I told you that my prized possession was a Schiaparelli hat box from the early 1940’s (in my imagination, it once held the famous Dali shoe hat), or that I have bags and drawers full of hats and scarves you would understand my love for chapeaus.
So, when I wander into the month old Goorin, the only one in Canada, just to gaze in wonder at the feathered fedoras, to grin at the sight of beautifully appointed linings, to try on hat after hat just for fun all the while fantasizing about cool places I could rock this look or that, you’ll have to forgive me. I have an unhealthy addiction, infatuation really… some would argue it’s hat-​acular.
