Cowboy Hat in NYC

September 19, 2008 8:06 PM

Where in NYC can I buy a cheap, used cowboy hat. Nothing nice at all, just something. If convenient to the upper west side, all the better. Mostly I'm just looking for a place I can go and more likely than not actually find one.

I don't know about cheap, but there is a Western store on Broadway south of Canal. I don't know the exact cross streets. Near white st. though, I think. If I walk by it over the weekend I'll get the cross streets and see if they have cowboy hats.

Billy Martin's western wear, 62d and 3d. Not going to be cheap.

Personally, I'd order online from Sheplers. Save a fortune.

Arnold's Hatters on 37th and 8th (sorry, not the location you want) will certaily have one. And it won't be cheap. But thinking of that, a trip to the garment district right around there might net you what you are fishing for.

if you are up for a trip to brooklyn, beacon's closet on 5th avenue in park slope will probably have them, as it is a hipster thrift store.
