Taos Travel Forum

On a visit to taos in 12/06 we visited a store that sold hats in teh back. the shopkeeper had an antique hat sizer so measure your head and was extremely knowledgeable about hat styles. We would like to make a special trip there to buy a hat but want to make sure that he's still there and that he's open this Wedmsday morning (our ONLY chance to get there). I can't find Hats in the the yeelow pages. Anyone know who I'm talking about? The front of the store sells something else but I can't remember what! Any leads? ASAP Thanks

A hat maker is otherwise known as a 'milliner'.

There's a place called Horse Feathers at 109B Kit Carson in Taos. Could that be the one?

Don't know of a hat shop with an antique hat sizer in Taos but there is one in Sante Fe. O'Farrell Hat Shop has a whole line of hats with all styles. Scott O'Farrell is the owner and will help you out. The shop is located across the street from the La Fonda Hotel on San Francisco Street. I have a southwestern style hat and love it.
