Sidewalk Fashions Hats

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! DO NOT TAKE YOUR HATS TO GET REPAIRED HERE SHE IS AN UNPROFESSIONAL BITCH. A year ago I brought a baseball cap to this store to be repaired (back straps), I was pleased. I brought in 3 baseball caps to be repaired and they were not fixed properly. I wanted the brims and the straps to be repaired. The female owner is so disrespectful/​unprofessional and I dont recommend doing business with her. I brought my hats in ²⁄₅ it is now ³⁄₁₁ and they still arent fixed properly. Ive gone to the store on 6 different occasions and she was not there. Glen had no explanation as to why the hats were not fixed and he suggested I call and speak to the female owner. I called as he suggested, and she did not pick up. He even tried to call her and she ignored his call as well. The hats were tried on in front of Glen and he saw that they didnt fit anymore ”after she repaired them”. She actually made the hats smaller and replaced the brim with a weird cushion brim (which I never asked for). Ive driven back and forth from Santa Monica to get this issue resolved and I was not pleased. Before coming in today, I spoke to the female owner over the phone (she finally answered) and I asked her if the hats could be repaired, or should I just come pick them up she said she didnt care and hung up in my face. Once again I drove down there to speak with her and she had a very nasty attitude. Glen was there ⁵⁄₆ times that I came into the store and he even said,” yeah you came here quite a few times”, and he seemed to understand how frustrating it was to have to constantly try to resolve a problem that his wife shouldve fixed the first damn time. If they couldnt be repaired she shouldve called and communicated that to me and I wouldve taken the hats somewhere else. I left my cell phone number as well as my boyfriends cell phone number and she didnt call us at all (we had to call her each time). She went to an event about 2 weeks ago (when I was supposed to come in and discuss the hats) and didnt let us know the shop would be closed for 2 extra days, so I drove down there again for no reason. She has very poor communication skills please DO NOT BRING YOUR HATS HERE FOR REPAIR. She cheated me out of my money and the hats were not fixed like she promised. There’s thread sticking out of the hats, she cut fabric, and now the hats are small. THEY DONT FIT ANYMORE! IF YOU NOTICE the good reviews are from hats bought from the store, not hats that are repaired. She did a hideous job and she should be ashamed of her «FAMILY BUSINESS». Im not sure what happened from a year ago until now, but the service is terrible. I paid half up front and planned on paying the rest after she completed the work and she never did. I explained to her money wasnt and issue, but i guess she was too stupid to understand that. I tried on the hats for her and showed her they were too small she shrugged her shoulders and said «oh well im sorry».Ive washed my hands with this lady and her store, because she’s not a good business woman. There’s no reason why my hats arent fixed properly, she was given over a month to repair them. I FEEL LIKE THIS LADY IS UNPROFESSIONAL and she CHEATED ME OUT OF MY MONEY. SHE MAY DO THE SAME TO YOU

Glen the owner is amazing… probably took a good 30 minutes helping me to find the perfect hat and did it with a smile… and prices are just right go see him first instead of giving your money to corporate America… help the lil guy

Variety of hats. Went in and immediately saw the hat I had been looking for. Fair pricing. Would definitely go back.

Pro:
The owner is friendly
Cons:
No exchange or return policy
Selection of hats is limited; few if any different sizes for the same hat
Price much higher than other place
The owner, Glen, is genuinely a nice person and the experience of going to the store is pleasant. However the lack of size selection and of course no return or exchange policy means that the buyer must beware. Also, for the more expensive hats, a search on the internet will get you the same hat for much less. I purchase a hat for around $ 110 which I found out the next day was being sold for $ 75 (from the hat company). This hat was too large for me but with no return or exchange policy I had to «resize» it using draught tape. The other two hats I bought there were cheaper and for cheap hats I think is store is okay. Finally, Glen was reluctant to give a receipt for the purchases as well but only relented since one of the purchases was a gift that I said wasn’t sure was right for the person. The receipt was made out, but only for that one item. With an exchange/​return policy and better pricing this store would be good, but as of now, there are other hat stores that I have been to which have offered quality, no marked up prices, and reasonable return policy. Try those first.

Went here to buy a hat the hat was $ 35 got it for $ 24 love them thanks… great business check them out

Went in here a couple weeks ago and wanted to write a review and forgot. I hadn’t bought a nice new hat in a while and decided to check out a couple of places near home. This was the first stop and there was no need to check out another one. They had a good selection of the style I was looking for, ranging in the average price range to a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. I got a great quality hat, and the service was killer too. I wish I remembered the guys name, because he helped a lot. They clean hats too, so I’ll be back for sure!

Bought a hat a few months ago for a Gatsby party. was thinking I would only wear the hat once and it wouldn’t fit that well anyways…
I was wrong.
When my friend and I first walked in, we were greeted instantly and asked if we could be helped pick anything out specifically. We had an idea of what we thought we wanted. but after putting a few hats on, looking in the mirror, realizing we both looked ridiculous, he stepped in. we asked for his opinion and he said that we both needed to switch to start. the opposite hats were better for the shapes of our heads. something we both never even thought mattered… well it did.
after putting on the opposite hats and picking out the correct size. It was night and day difference.
very reasonable and very willing to give discounts for multiple items.
definitely recommend.
To add… we left the store. my friend thought it was a good idea to wear the hat driving home with the window down… the feather in his hat came out fairly quickly and flew out the car. we searched and couldn’t find it. the hat store was about to close. we called and he told us to come back. he stayed open past hours. gave a new feather of my friends choice, for free.
awesome service!

Came in for a pair of sunglasses which range from $ 5 — $ 9.99. That’s a definite deal! And there is a wide selection of hats, hats for every occasion. Well anyways I came in and got a pair of sunglasses but I will probably come back for a hat soon :)

Just bought the most bangin hat here! This is the only hat shop to go to! The owner is extremely helpful. A+ customer service.

SIDEWALK FASHIONS HATS has a cornucopia of head gear for all tastes, from the sophisticated, the urbane, hip, cool, & the classic. In the past four months alone I’ve bought six hats from them: a white English driving cap, a straw cap, a diamond wool fedora, 2 beenies, & a pull on beenie with a hole in the top for a friend with dreads (she LOVED) it. I’m about to go get me a leather cap. OK I’m human, I only have one head, so I MUST have a hat fetish.
Glen & Len are the owners. They are both knowledgeable & helpful. They have a hat, cap, beenie for every occasion, in every color, style & size. They also do cleaning or can make you a new headband.
They promote a buy one get one free & I always take advantage of that. They are cordial & personable, & their store personifies quality & service.
They are a small business in my neighborhood & I believe in supporting small business owners.

Was in the neighborhood for a meeting over at Berlin coffeehouse, and happened to park in front of Sidewalk Fashions Hats. If you are looking for a hat, you are likely to find it here. They have a wide selection of styles, colors and sizes. The prices are very reasonable. Glenn, the owner, could not have been sweeter or more helpful. I was there with my mother, and between the two of us, we ended up buying 3 hats, 2 scarves, and 2 vintage I. Magnin hat boxes. They are currently celebrating their 4^th anniversary at this location, and are having a half-​off sale. It is so wonderful to see a small business thriving in the LBC! Will definitely be back!

Great selection of hats! I walked away with a cool looking beige Fedora and striped beret. Glen, the owner, was really helpful.

I was visiting Fiesta Hermosa (09-​02-​2013) when I came across Sidewalk Fashion Hats stand.
Sidewalk Fashion Hats operates a brick-​and-​mortar store in Long Beach, CA but also attends local street fairs and festivals. Sidewalk Fashion has quite a deal of different hats on display. Sidewalk Fashion offers buy one hat; get a second one for 50% excluding Kangol, Bailey, Stetson & Stacy Adams hats.
Sidewalk Fashion Hats comes in every possible size including XL, 2XL & 3XL. Sidewalk Fashion offers hat cleaning & repair services.
During my visit to the stand /​booth set up at Fiesta Hermosa I checked out several hats and ended up purchasing 2 for Christmas gifts so I could capitalize on the buy one get the second for 50% deal.
The staff operating this booth /​stand was top notch, they were friendly, knowledgeable about their products and the prices were great especially when you are receiving 50% off your 2^nd hat purchase.
If you are in the market for a hat no matter the name brand, no matter the style, no matter the time of the year and do not want to spend time driving around various cities jumping from store to store then you might want to start you search at Sidewalk Fashion Hats.
I am very pleased with my purchases. I am very pleased with the level of service I received especially when simply walking into a stand /​booth set up at a street festival. I am very pleased with the quality of the product I purchased. The only thing I did not care for was the staff did not really know where the hats were made when I asked. I know this is a small detail but I am a stickler for details.
Sidewalk Fashion Hats is also now offering a $ 20 for $ 30 Unilocal deal=) Get you Christmas shopping done early so you are not one of those folks on the news on Christmas Eve shopping at the Mall=)
Also with Unilocal check-​ins you receive 10% off.

8÷14÷13:
So now this business is politely accusing me of lying even though I have the Square email receipt for $ 81.50 on 7÷18÷13. It was a regular black Kangol Tropic Playa that Village Hats sells for about $ 50. So although the vendor doubts having anything as expensive he sure as hell charged me. Now any potential customers can know how they’ll be treated.

One of the few places to get a XXL hat in the whole of southern California. Bought a great stylish Panama hat from them on a booth at the Queen Mary, very nice people and a good price.
[ If you want a Clippers hat go to Sports Shack/​Hut you idiot (see moron below). Why make trouble for this small business. You obviously are a peasant who doesn’t recognize classic hats. ]
Cheers,

I have driven by this store before today. It truly has curb appeal. Today I walked a record breaking three miles and visited this store. I wasn’t going to buy anything as I was under the impression that their hats were out of my price range — Wrong!
To be sure they do have high quality name brand hats, but they also have affordable great looking hats. While I tried on several hats, it turns out my first pick was the best choice for the money. After buying and wearing my new hat, it was apparent that my sunglasses weren’t in sync with the hat. They have a nifty selection of sunglasses — and cost the entire new head ensemble was under $ 30. I already received one complement on my walk back home.
Additionally this is an owner operated store. The owner was very patient and pleasant as well as helpful with my selection. Guess I won’t be wearing my Home Depot painters hat anymore — and that’s the truth. I walked in wearing my white painters cap and out with an entire new and faltering look.
Oops, I almost forgot. I also was given a leatherette case for my sunglasses and a cleaning cloth. I will return — one hat isn’t enough. Now onto eBay to buy a hat rack.

Last week I was looking for a cowboy hat for an event that I was throwing that weekend. I had stopped by but they didn’t have any in stock that were anything that I was looking for. The owner’s wife suggested I leave my number because they were getting a shipment of cowboy hats in soon and would let me know when they arrived.
Fast forward to Friday, the day before my event, right before closing they give me a call and let me know the hats arrived. I had been hunting all around for the right and affordable cowboy hat for me (those are EXPENSIVE hats!) and when I come in, I find the perfect style, but the hat band is a little feminine for what I was looking for. No problem! They took the time to try on all these different bands until I was happy with it!
The best part was the price, $ 20 for a nice black cowboy hat and a hatband of subtle brown beads. Perfect! It fit like a dream and was exactly what I was looking for! They have great customer service, affordable prices, and happy to help out and make sure you leave satisfied!

Came in last week for a buddies birthday and the service was tip top. I not only bought my friend a killer looking hat for his beautiful balding head but I got a hat for myself as well. Lots of choices and they run some awesome sales.
Check it out!

I’m afflicted with an oversized cabeza, so sadly, hats have never been for me. For the mister though? Yes, he’s an avid hat-​lover. So after driving past Sidewalk Fashions Hats for time and again, we finally decided to stop in after a visit to Fingerprints this afternoon.
I was taken aback when right after we walked in one of the guys working there came up and greeted us and told us about some specials and a 20% discount they were doing that day and showed the different sections of the store (not that a hat store needs much explaining). Yes, taken aback. You see, I’ve driven by a million times and just assumed it was some small shop where someone sat behind a counter and would ignore you and be reading a book. But nope. They’re the real deal with service.
As far as the hat selection, it’s okay. They have mostly men’s hats, but a nice assortment of headwear for the ladies too. They are definitely more budget-​friendly than stores like Arth, but they don’t have as many hats too fall in love with.
Overall, definitely a thumbs up to Sidewalk Fashions Hats, and I’m sure Mr. Q is glad to have another local hattery to visit when his head is feeling especially bald.

Just ran into this place but at the Farmers Market by the Marina. They had tons of selections & was told that they are located on 4^th Street & they carry more.
I guess I have to go check out the store to finish this review but so far I liked what I saw.
I’m a big fan of fedoras & I was looking for a more summer style type, found it at a great price!
