New Hat Shop in Fitzroy
Posted by Miroslav under: Hats; Stores .
A new hat shop has opened at 71 Smith Fitzroy in the inner urban part of Melbourne.
I’ve only had a chance to gaze through into the windows of “Smart Alec”, as it doesn’t open till 10am, but they appear to stock quite a few panama hats from what i can see. I will try and pop into the shop next week and check it out in more detail.
I only ran across it because I get my morning coffee and croissant during the week from a great little cafe (run by a Frenchman, Anthony Sergent) called “La niche CafĂ©” which is right next door to it.
One Comment so far...

I also chanced upon this shop on the way to a fave eating place: Birdman. It looked fascinating.
On the way back to my car, I mentioned it to my brother Eazy and he laughed. He’d already purchased a very suave hat from there. Oh yes, everything’s falling into place. As we peered through the window, admiring the merchandise lighting the owner Michael was just leaving.
After a delightful conversation, I decided to return the next day when the shop was open.
I bought three hats. One of which was Australian made!
I’ll be back. :)
