Hats In the Belfry

If you want quality hats sold by employees who care and know about their product and who care about their customers, this is the place to go. We have been there numerous times and dealt with all of the employees. They are all knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful, without being in the least bit pushy. They have a wide selection of hats in a wide variety of styles. There is something there for everyone. Their prices range from average to pricey, but you will be getting a quality hat for your money. I thought I looked horrible in hats until one of the employees took one look at me and put just the right hat on my head. A couple dozen hats later, I’m addicted! I can’t say enough good things about this store.

Very clean and organize store. The employee was very helpful. Came here to buy a fedora for my fiancé little brothers wedding. A nice selection of modern, casual to fancy hats for men and women.
As far as prices, a little pricey but considering the quality of hats it was worth the purchase. I bought myself a summer hat which came to $ 40.00. I’ve seen hats similar in target or Walmart but the quality is very different. I hope this hat will last me for a couple of summers.
If you want nice piece of head gear for special events, definitely check this place out. If your looking for baseball caps, this isn’t the store your looking for.

Just brought a hat from this store, nice selection of quality hats, and great customer service!

Though this Hats In the Belfry is bigger than it’s baby sibling in Baltimore, the service was not all that. I felt the service had an aura of entitlement and privelage (chill man, it’s a hat shop), that they were doing ME a favor by helping me (kinda didn’t care whether I bought or not), and reeked of cigarettes (please… some mints and cologne after breaks).
The Baltimore shop was just an amazing experience. I bought TWO hats and I was treated like royalty: Service, with a capital S. So… it was very disappointing to experience Philly like this… WOMP WOMP

Was in Philadelphia for work and went to a restaurant across the street, saw Hats In the Belfry and went in. Great place, great selection, great employees. Of course I found a hat that looked great on me. Of course it did. Will definitely stop in the next time I’m in town.

The sun was out. Walked in, bought a hat, walked back out. End of story.

Best and nicest hat store I’ve been into, and you can ask my wife I have way to many hats! The staff is always friendly and not pushy at all. The new location is also a great update and layout compared to the older one. It’s located in a great place in Philly if you happen to be visiting and want someplace cool to walk around.
Hats in the Belfry is a multi-​location and online hat company and the great Philly store is only surpassed by their online customer service. Recently I ordered two hats and one I received was the wrong model. In all fairness it is an almost exact copy of the correct one, just a lower end model. Even the color was similar. I emailed about the mistake and without delay the next email I received was an apology and tracking number for the new shipment, with upgraded shipping I might add. I was also told to keep the other hat, which was nice and saved me going through the trouble of shipping it back. After I received the replacement I noticed the tag on it had a lower price then online. When I emailed to let them know, they promptly replied and said it was an error they were aware of with the printed tag and that the online price was correct. They still immediately refunded the difference even though they really had no reason to. Just amazing! I can’t say enough. So if you are in Philly, Baltimore, Fells Point or Annapolis stop on in or check them out online

I wish they’d open a location in AZ! An excellent selection both for trying on and laughing, and for purchasing and wearing. Style, warmth, glamour — whatever you’re looking for, they carry the hat for it. Great prices and a wide range of style and quality.
We just had a wonderful customer service experience with these folks. My husband and I often say that you can never really know about the level of service at a place until there’s a problem.
He ordered two hats by mail — one of them was awesome, but the other wasn’t what he ordered. They must have put the wrong item in the box.
As soon as they heard this, they mailed the one he actually ordered immediately (none of this «send back ours and thennn we’ll send yours»), with profuse apologies and expedited shipping, no less. They even let him keep the wrong one.
That’s incredible service from a shop that has really nice wares, and for mail customers (I’m sure a small part of their revenue). Well, they’re definitely keeping our business.

I’ve been going to this store since it opened on 3^rd street, but I never got any real help until it moved. The woman who works on 6^th street was so kind and helpful with the hats. She helped me try on all kinds of hats and I actually picked a hat that I would have never considered if it weren’t for her. In addition, the space is so nice and large so that you can walk around looking at the different hats. Plus you can get a reasonably priced hat there. I’ll be back!

Kind of pricey ($ 60 for some of the fedoras), but the employee who helped us here the other week was very good. They have a big selection of men’s hats and a decent amount of women’s hats and headbands. I would have never come in if it weren’t for the Unilocal Elite 1920’s Great Gatsby party on Tuesday, so if you are in need of an accessory for a costume party, this is definitely a good place to go!

I was here over the weekend with the boyfriend. Note that they changed their location on South Street and are now just past 6^th on South St.
The woman working in the store was very nice and knowledgeable about hats. They had a nice selection of straw hats among other hats. They have the ability to measure you if you are clueless like me about your hat size. My boyfriend was looking for a very specific hat so our only wish is that they would make costume hats or be able to change out bands on the hats they sell or at least have a larger variety of hat bands.

Needing a hat for a Halloween costume and subsequent theme party, I knew I needed to go somewhere to try hats on. I’m faced with the challenge of having a very large head; I’m not kidding, this boy’s head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts.
They had a limited selection of hats that would fit me, which already gave them a leg up. I found that in a fedora I liked, and amazingly the XXL was slightly too large for me, while the XL was just slightly tight. The helpful staff searched for other options in XXL, but when the fedora proved the best option they offered to stretch the hat to improve the fit.
I really do wish more hat companies offered XXL, because there were some truly excellent hats in there that I would have preferred, but found the XL perched comically high on my planetoid of a head.

When the A Clockwork Orange costume that I had ordered for Halloween came with a sorry plastic excuse for a derby I found myself needing to purchase the real deal in a hurry. Fortunately I knew that South Street is the epicenter for finding hats in a hurry, and the Belfry more than delivered.
What everyone said about the bulk of their stock being better suited for costumes over wearing during everyday situations is true (Although I do plan on getting some wear out of mine). And a good majority of their product did seem to be a bit overpriced. But their own line of hats were a lot more reasonable. And I was able to come across a well Haberdashered derby with a feather that was a steal at under $ 40.
So while its not a spot that I’d recommend for every hat need, Hats on the Belfry is definitely perfect for tying any costume together on a whim.

Despite my recent affinity to photos of me in random hats as my profile picture on Unilocal,I am not one to wear anything atop my head. I ended up in Hats in the Belfry with a friend who was in search of a new somewhat uncommon hat and thoroughly amused myself trying on random hats that all inexplicably ended up being entirely too large for my head and covered my eyes. He, however, ended up making a difficult decision between many different hats he loved, which I’d consider a win. Plus they were having a sale, woo hoo!
So for those who are the opposite of me (wear hats and have normal sized heads) I’d say this is a great place to find a new head accessory!

Belfry has really been trying to step it up with expanded merchandise and new fixtures. They have a nice selection of scarves now ranging from cotton, to cashmere, to alpaca, to Harris Tweed. I’m more impressed each time I go. The miscellaneous things they’ve added (gloves, tie bars, cufflinks? hat bands, canes, and bags) don’t detract at all from the hats. Pocket squares wouldn’t be a bad idea.

I simply love this store. Every time we are on South, I have to stop by, even if for a minute.
They offer a great collection of hats of all styles and for what they offer the prices are mostly fair.
Over time I’ve gotten a few hats from them and haven’t regretted a single purchase.
If you are looking for a hat (and I mean more than just a cool/​trendy headgear), check them out, chances are you’ll find what you are looking for…

Liked this shop a lot.
The hats here aren’t cheap, but you can get your bowlers, your top hats, your feather hats and more. For ladies and gents, there’s something for everyone, other than baseball caps. Plenty of selection, you can custom-​order, and play around with the hats and find what fits you best.
Certainly fun to play around in and find if you really want a different hat — I personally liked the Indiana Jones fedora.

Great location along Philly’s famed South St area. I don’t know why everyone is so down on this place. It’s a nice shop with a ton of great hats for men and women. Despite previous reviews, 95% of the hats here are normal everyday hats, not costume or novelty hats (maybe it used to be different). It’s great to find a hat store that doesn’t just do baseball hats (like Lids). They have the complete line of Kangol hats and have everything from the affordable to the ultra high end caps. If you’re looking for baseball hats, look somewhere else. Want a cap or a fedora? This is your place. The guy working wasn’t the most friendly, but I didn’t really need him to be, I just wanted to check out the hats and try them on without any pressure and that’s what I got.

4 Stars for an impressive collection of hats. Many are trendy and/​or practical and this place is far from a costume shop. One star for the cool clerk in the hat that clearly didn’t give a shit service wise. When I asked about XXL hats, I got a blank stare and hurried attention to the next customer.

What a weird demographic this place is aiming to sell to. But it’s really a fun place for Halloween and tourists I suppose.
Here you can find trendy stuff like Kangol or cowboy hats, but you’ll also find the eccentric like a dunce cap, jester caps and other things you will probably wear while skiing.
If funky hats are you’re thing, I suppose this is the only place to go.
