History
Hello and thank you for visiting johnnyphi.com. In the winter of 2007 I stumbled onto a large collection of new/vintage/dead stock men's fur-felt hats at Hisch's men's store that was going out of business after 85 years.
After getting to know the owner of the store, he agreed to show me his storage rooms, where I soon found dozens of Lee, Adam and Stetson hat boxes, each full of untouched, unworn fur-felt hats of various styles and sizes. I decided that this collection was an opportunity, and I decided to buy the entire inventory. I made an offer and the owner accepted.
Suddenly, I was the proud owner of this amazing collection of hats, not to mention rack upon rack of vintage clothing, dating all the way back to WWII. All of them were unworn, with the original tags.
Since I had little experience with hats, I went looking for information and answers to my many questions. I have found the Fedora Lounge, www.thefedoralounge.com to be a great wealth of information and a community of members. I hope you will visit their website.
There are many hats available for purchase in our store section. Hats will be added as they become available for purchase, so make sure to stop back in the future. To view all of the photos from Hirsch’s men’s store visit the slideshow.
