Best hat store anywhere. 5th generation. Congratulations to Mr. Meyer on being named by France a Chevalier of the National Order of the Legion of Honor!

My favorite hat store. I just returned...in person...and bought two more hats.
Meyer The Hatter is the South's Largest Hat Store. Located in Downtown New Orleans, Meyer The Hatter offers fine hats and caps for men and women from the world's leading headwear manufacturers, such as Bailey, Betmar ,Biltmore, Dobbs, Kangol, Mayser, Selentino, Stefeno, Stetson, and Wallaroo.
Meyer The Hatter was founded in 1894 by Sam H. Meyer on the first block of Saint Charles Avenue and is now run and operated by the 3rd, 4th and 5th generation members of the Meyer family.

LARGEST HAT STORE IN THE SOUTH proclaims the sign in front of Meyer the Hatter, just off Canal Street on St. Charles Avenue. In truth, it actually doesn't feel all that big inside. That's in part because it's so packed with hats, but also because it's often crowded with customers trying on fedoras and porkpies and jockeying for mirror space. New Orleans has long been Hat City: Thanks to the relentless summer sun, hats never fell completely out of fashion among men. (And Meyer, it should be noted, has traditionally been a store for men-bonnet seekers should keep seeking.) The shop carries a wide range of headgear suitable for any occasion and (almost) any head shape.
