Tom in Portland, O.
This place is dangerous! I was able to find a hat in my style and size (which is so hard to do) but was served up a few others that I loved too! An experience that is far too rare nowadays.

This is our first purchase from, JJ Hat Center. We are currently waiting for an authorization to return; the cap we ordered was the too large. I believe we will wait to evaluate and have better experience with JJ to comment then.
