Albuquerque's Historic Hat Shop
Welcome to The Man’s Hat Shop, a cherished landmark in Albuquerque, NM, nestled on the historic Route 66 since 1964. Our story begins with Carl Dunlap, a World War II veteran, who first opened our doors as a humble hat cleaning business. With hard work and dedication, Carl transformed the shop into the thriving retail destination it is today, offering thousands of hats in an array of styles.
Located on Central Ave., The Man’s Hat Shop stands out from the crowd by emphasizing the personal touch. We believe that understanding our customers—where they live, their style, and how they'll use their hat—is best achieved face-to-face. Our commitment to in-person service means you can experience the perfect fit and style that online shopping simply can't provide.
Our enduring success is bolstered by the vibrant film industry, which has found a trusted partner in us for authentic headwear. Thanks to the solid foundation laid by the Dunlaps, we continue to be a unique and nostalgic destination on Route 66. We invite you to step into The Man’s Hat Shop, where tradition, quality, and personalized service are always in style.
