A hat shop in Taipei

Taiwan Where Can I Find...?
1

Looking for a light fedora similar to this: http://www.villagehatshop.com/product/all-fedoras/451139-3094/jaxon-hats-toyo-straw-safari-fedora-hat-black-band.html

New to Taipei and need to (somewhat fashionably) keep the sun off my neck. :slight_smile:

Looks like a Panama hat. I bought one two weeeks ago out in Jiufen, but it’s pretty low quality. I feel like tourist spots would be more likely to sll them, maybe try Tamsui?

Try Wu Fen Pu clothes market next to Song Shan TRA and MRT station.

Do be careful, it’s a maze in there.

A couple huge hat shops in Huayin street shopping area just NW of Taipei train station. Taipei city mall exit Y15.

Thanks for the info!

Spotted yesterday when I went to XiMenDing. There’s a shop directly behind the Uniqlo that sells what you’re looking for.

To follow up on this… tango42’s suggestion proved to be the easiest for us to check out first, and we found hat shops galore there. At first, we sat a few shops that sold hats along with other things, but as we plunged further into the warren of shops, we found several gigantic hat shops selling nothing but hats. Thanks for the suggestion!

Rather than start a new thread, I thought I’d just piggyback off of this old one. We’ll be traveling to Taipei this long weekend, and I’d like recommendations for men’s hat shops. I’m looking for a cap/hat that:

  • is for summertime wear

  • is made of 100% natural materials

  • can be flattened/unflattened easily for storage under a scooter seat

  • is made in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea (Canada, US, and Europe are OK, too)

I’m not looking for anything cheap, synthetic, or formal/dressy. I’m fine with baseball caps and flat caps, but maybe not bucket style, straw, or anything overly floppy. Do you have any suggestions for shops where I could find something like this?

Thanks!
