Our online store is open but
Brick & Mortar Store Temporarily Closed
Our brick and mortar store is going to be closed for a while.
A section of one of the exterior wall from our historic storefront collapsed on March 24, 2025. The good news is that no one was hurt and our structural engineer says the building is fixable. We're working with him and the City of Dayton to get a plan in place to make the building safe, do the work, and reopen as soon as possible, but we don't have a timeline yet. We're hoping for a few weeks, but with old buildings you never know what might come up along the way.
In the meantime, our online store is still open and we appreciate any business you might send our way. We wouldn't be here without you - thank you for your ongoing support. It means the world to us.
This whole situation is scary and anxiety-inducing and definitely brings back the overwhelming fear that we lived with in the early days of Covid when we didn't know what would happen to the business. We survived that and have every expectation that we'll make it through this too.
We'll give updates as we have them on social media and through our email list (to sign up scroll to the bottom of the page and put your email address in the box).
a few of our favorite things
staff picks
We know it can be a little overwhelming - we have a lot to choose from and our stock is constantly changing. So, every couple of weeks, we each chose nine of our current favorites - from hats and caps to scarves, jewelry, and skincare - to help you get started. We hope you find your favorites too. And as always, if you have questions about our products, drop us aline. We're here to help.

We recommend starting here. Like jeans and a t-shirt, these hats are the things our customers turn to time and time again.

Your local hat store
With thousands of hats in stock, visiting in person is well worth the trip. We encourage those who can to visit our brick and mortar store and try on our wide selection of womens hats, mens hats, and gender-neutral hats. We offer everything from fedoras and pork pies to fascinators and cloches, from dress hats to outdoor hats, as well as the midwest's best selection of caps (including newsboys, flat caps, driving caps, ivy hats, and everything in-between).
We carry a wide range of brands including well-known names like Stetson, Dobbs, and Bailey, luxury millinery brands including Cha Cha's House of Ill Repute and Romer Millinery, and hard-to-find European hatters.
Our team will help you find the best hats for your face shape and personal style. And if you can't shop with us in person but want that personal shopping experience, drop us a line to set up a video call.
Drove over two hours and crossed state lines just to browse in-store; BRIM did not disappoint... I will make the pilgrimage again and again even to just catch the good vibes this place exudes.
These people know hats. Hat etiquette. Hat styles... Ways to wear a hat. Casual hat vs formal... Funeral hat vs black tie hat... Helpful. Kind. Stylish.
While Brim might be labeled a hat store, they offer so much more. It's literally an experience in itself to have such a wide selection of quality but even more so to have people that will go above and beyond to help you style an outfit or coordinate accessories.
Brim is a little jewel where big headed guys can easily find a variety of hats that fit. You made it very hard to settle on just one. As a matter of fact, I bought three.
I love this store. The selection is huge from top hats to berets and everything in between. They have sizes for all size craniums. The staff is super friendly and love spending time picking out accessories.
