Right next block to the busy Empire state building in Manhattan, there is this great Men’s hat shop , JJ Hat Center. But what really attracted me was really the sign of ” Borsalino”, the high end Italian Hat House above the boutique’s sign. Since 1875, Borsalino hats have been loved by many Italian men and celebrities as well we by many others around the world till today. There are about 10 boutiques in Italy through out the country and one in Paris but also many tongue in chick Men’s shops would be carrying Borsalino worldwide. www.borsalino.com


Since 1911, JJ Hat center has been carrying Borsalino’s exquisite hats and other names like Kangol and Stetson, and the boutique still keeps the old fixtures and carries traditional charms. And I love it!!!!!!

Walking in. Tall ceiling and chandeliers do enough of first impression to me. Very nice!
It feels like almost a library. It’s a nice feeling. I feel the beautiful manly vibe in here. Properly dressed Sales Staffs, old posters and hat station for steaming and brushing, 3 way mirrors along the solid Oak shelving. Very cool.



Emi trying one on. What do you think? This one costs about $275.00 Borsalino.
