The verdict

If you want a proper felt hat for fall, this is the obvious stop: the official site lists around 50 brands, from Kangol caps and berets to Borsalino and Stetson felts. Come to try things on and ask about reblocking an old hat. Budget real money for the good felts, and check Monday before you walk over since Thanksgiving hours are unconfirmed.

Why maybeOperating and well sourced, but Thanksgiving Monday is unconfirmed and it only suits travellers who actually want a hat.

Our estimate from posted prices, CAD, before tax and tip. Québec purchases carry the 5% federal GST plus the 9.975% Québec Sales Tax (QST, TVQ in French): 14.975% combined on taxable items. Tourisme Montréal: it is customary to tip restaurant servers, taxi drivers and hairdressers 15% of the bill, before taxes. Bellhops, porters and doormen generally get at least $2 per bag or service; coffee and food counters often have a tip cup by the register.
