33 1/3 Things NOT to Change About Cleveland '#11. Mike the Hatter
For more than 70 years, Mike The Hatter has survived fickle fashion, the near-demise of downtown shopping and President John F. Kennedy (whose public disdain for chapeaus did for the hat industry what the Bay of Pigs did for Cuban liberation).
The store on Prospect Avenue, named for a distant relative, carries an inventory of 40,000 hats - enough to top every man, woman and child in Berea - ranging from $5 knit caps to $400 mink hats.
You learn something about both hats and human nature in this business. Women buying hats for men "look for something solid, substantial, something that's going to be around for awhile," Kapottos says. "A guy wants one for tonight."'

Don't know your size? How to measure your head for a hat:
Using a tape measure, measure the widest part of your head (just above the ears and eyebrows) to the nearest 1/8th of an inch.
If you have not purchased a new hat recently, please remeasure your head, as sizes may change depending on hair style, weight loss/gain, and age.
Please also keep in mind that hat sizes vary depending on the manufacturer, so if you are unsure of which size to order, please contact us at customerservice@mikethehatter.com and we’ll be happy to advise.
