I like hats. Some of you may even remember the time I wrote a song "Red Beret" about my favourite hat, a red woolen beret my mother purchased in London in the 1960s. In high school I used to wear a vintage grey wool fedora I stole from my father. Sadly, some cruel person (with great taste) stole my hat from a pimps and hos party and I have never seen it since.
It was only recently, however, that my grandmother casually mentioned that her grandmother used to work at a milliner shop and created hats for the Queen Mother. I just about died when I was told this. And it was the final push I needed to splurge on the summer hat I'd been ogling at Goorin Bros.

The Toronto location just opened this summer at Queen and Spadina. Stepping into their shop is like taking a step back in time, it is so rad! I am a firm believer that there is the right hat out there for everyone, so if you're shopping make sure to try on every shape and style. The staff at Goorin Bros. were really helpful. I actually visited three times before I purchased and tried on almost every hat in the store.
