So I walked around all day today, looking for a black fedora hat. I lost my old one in Taiwan, so now I need to find a new hat.

I did find some hats, but they were either one-size or too small for me.

Are there any real hat shops in BKK? Preferably a shop who has larger sizes.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

(Feather is not necessary.)

There's a haberdashery of sorts in the JJ Mall part of Chatuchak market. It's not far from the entrance (of the mall, not the Gate 1 of the market) on your right as you walk in. Lots of cheap stuff out front, but they do have a display case inside with some quality products. I've got a big head, and the ones in the display case fit me.

I'm looking for a man's hat, too, but Panama-style. Not the cheap variety that is trendy among youngish females here, but actual Panama style. (Yes, I know, likely made in Ecuador.)

Apparently its 1932

In Central Westgate i saw a shop called hat's only and that was all they sold. I can't remember if i saw real hats but many caps and the lot.

It's at the escalators above the bakery's, infront of Tops there you go up and will see it.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll be visiting these places tomorrow!

Well, here is a place you can visit next time you are in Chiang Mai.

Top quality panama hats, and apparently they are all imported from Ecuador. I haven't been there yet, but I will go next time I'm in CM.

A buddy of mine in Phuket is from Ecuador and he supplies genuine Panama Hats. Jorge is a great guy. https://www.facebook.com/ThailandPanamahats/

Was going to mention. Montefino has a FB page. Perhaps they can ship to you.

Looks like they can! Thanks

Just an update for others who are searching. This tip is spot on. Very nice collection of hats!
