Hats for sale

Where would be a good place near the square to buy a winter hat? I'm looking for a simple wool or synthetic knit hat, in a neutral color.

Roach's Sporting Goods in Porter, next to the post office?

Go to Downtown Crossing, and shop at Kenmore Army & Navy store. It's at 477 Washington Street, which is located across the street from the Macy's there, about a half block from the exit to the Downtown Crossing T stop. I found a great hat there in my husband's size (XXL, which is hard to find). Prices are really good, and the people who work there were really helpful to me. Not only do they have good ole wool hats, but they have everything from cheapo synthetic to bomber style to rabbit-fur Russian style hats.

I bought three last week at Marshall's in Twin City Plaza (quick bus ride on the #87 or #88) and another at Shaw's grocery store. I bet CVS or Rite-Aid might have some. They were in odd spots and on sale, but easy to find.

Am I the only one who totally went here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caps_for_Sale) with this?

Not initially, but now I'm thinking of this old Perspicuity cartoon:

Not at all the only one, no.

Rodney's in Central (yes, the bookstore - it's a little weird) has tons of the knit sherpa hats in all kinds of colors.

Didn't they go out of business a few months ago?

[ron_newman]

No, they reversed course and decided to stay open after all.

[syntheticnature.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Guess it's been a while since I was in Central, though.

I bet Family Dollar has some.

I know Davis Squared sells cool Goorin winter hats. They are at 409 Highland Ave.

I'll second the army navy story in Downtown Crossing.

Alternatively, there are TONS of knitters around... someone on here is sure to need a project...
