The Carmel Hat Company

I've never seen so many hat stores in my life as I did in California. Each city we passed had at least one store dedicated to hats. This one is in a small gallery on Ocean Avenue, the busiest street in town - in fact, the only street in Carmel crammed with shops and restaurants. It's a very large store, and it's just crammed entirely with hats. It's beautiful, but quite expensive, about $80 for a hat. If you're a hat wearer, this is the place to go.
