| - The staff here are definitely wanksters. Too wankster to say much without being spoken to first, but if you like salespeople to leave you alone then it's fine for you.
The hats: there are lots of hats here, and the tri-level store design makes for nice browsing. Husband wanted a Maple Leafs or Bluejays hat from Canada to add to his ginormous hat collection, and we have never seen a New Era store, so why not get it at the source (well, the source and then a factory in China and then back to the source I guess). The hat displays are very minimalist and the additional sizes are stored in pull-out cabinets behind the displays themselves, very nice in my opinion. That means you need to ask to get a size. Great selection of local team hats, and good size selection - my husband's head is larger than life we have had to walk away from multiple hat sellers because his size is just not within normal range. This brings me the gem of this store: the magic hat sizing machine. This is a machine that uses heat and steam on metal hat forms to customize the fit of a standard hat. I have not seen such a thing at baseball cap stores before. You would think that sizing to within an eighth of an inch is pretty damn good, but alas, not for my hubby. His head requires special attention. So purchasing a $42 Maple Leafs hat, he promptly has the wankster increase the size ever so slightly, a sixteenth of an inch. Fits perfectly. Even comes in a black and gold gift box. Husband has officially entered another circle of male accessory whores.
