Goorin Bros.

We stumbled into this store on a rainy Friday night while we saw a live band playing in the window. The guitar player saw us in the window and came outside while playing, he really lured us in but during his break he said he was going outside for fresh air since the lights get hot in there. Hilarious but it worked.
My husband has a hat obsession and this store was right up his alley. He was greeted immediately by a sales lady. She brought him over to the stools and counter area where she took his measurements and found him a hat perfectly suitable to his liking and size.
Someone said he looked like Bruno Mars. The live music was so awesome, why can’t every store have that all the time?!
Overall, this is the place to come if the man in your life needs a hat. They also carry women’s hats. You can find a really unique and one of a kind hat in this shop.

I happened to stumble upon this store today. I am extremely tiny and can never find a hat that fits. They had a kids section and two of there hats fit me perfectly. The woman that was working was extremely nice/​friendly and made me and my partner feel so welcome. I will definitely be coming back when I am in town.

What a surprise to find our favorite hat store in the had lamp district. My wife now has over 10 hats but we didn’t know there was one in SD. What great service we had!!! She was very accommodating and service levels exceeded our expectations!!! We will be back!

Amazing hat selection and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and freindly.

Great hats. Between the two of us, my wife and I own 14. We always get compliments when we wear them.

I’m over baseball caps. With that being said, I have been looking for a fedora for what has been forever. I was in downtown San Diego and walked inside just to browse their selection of hats. David greeted me and was very knowledgeable about the history of the company and the hats.
You’ll find all kinds of hats inside Goorin Bros. I ended up buying the Good Boy fedora. It looks amazing. Definetly walk in and browse the selection of hats. They are all eye-​catchers!

This store is the ish. Lots of selections to choose from and the hats here seem to be a step up in quality compared to the Village Hat Shop (don’t get me wrong I still dig that store also). Found a great messenger cap here for $ 40.00 which is comparable to the competition. Very friendly store associate (Kathryn) who offered help. There’s also a customer punch card for a bonus when you buy 11 hats from the store. Definitely coming back.

I had planned a murder mystery weekend for my parents, acting as detectives. What every detective needs is a great disguise, and a hat, right?
Nathaniel is the man. Bad ass, awesome guy. He went above and beyond, and turned the weekend into an epic memory.
I had begun talking with Nathaniel in June inquiring about what types of hats they carry (looking for 1920s esqe). Again in July I called and he and I set in motion the plan to turn my parents into detectives in August.
The weekend has come and gone, and my parents’ favorite part was Nathaniel. Equipped with his measuring tape and champagne (I swear the man went to outer space for my parents) he made them feel like they were the only thing that mattered!
Thank you Nathaniel, for everything!

My husband and I are very familiar with Goorin Bros. We often visit the stores in SF, so were were happy to stumble upon one during our visit to San Diego.
The ladies here are wonderful! They helped my husband replace a hat that he had lost. The hat is hard to find as I believe they don’t carry that hat anymore. Thankfully I remembered the name of the hat and she stretched it out for my husband so that it would fit nicely.
Thanks for the excellent and friendly customer service!

Beautiful selection of very fine hats, vast and varied in a gorgeous antique-​themed store.
This old hat company has an enormous selection — we tried on lots of different ones: you can feel the quality in the material and the fit! And they really know how to display them, surrounded by tastefully chosen antiques showcasing the company’s long history. A great place to pick up a hat — we did!

Staff is always friendly and attentive, never pushy and always offer great advice. I have a couple Goorin Bros. hats and shall soon buy a few more! The location is great, (next to Ghirardelli, huzzahh!) and the décor is sooo classy and stylish. The vintage presentation makes me wanna grab a hat, cigar and glass of wine then kick back in my beach house in the Caribbean. If you’re looking for the best hats in town, Goorin Bros. has you covered!

Good services! From here I had the first hat in my life. But will not be the only one! People speak about hat with passion!

These hats are the shit and they have killer service. All the guys who work here are super cool.
If you’re looking for a quality hat, definitely swing by and take a look.

I knew nothing about hats, and they took great care of me. The store was recommended to me by a stylist and they didn’t disappoint. Walked away with 2 great hats after a quick and easy selection process, I can’t see going anyplace else than here!

Great selection of hats ranging in price from moderate to expensive. All kinds of styles available (knit beanies, baseball caps, fedoras, pork pies, panamas, etc…)
I have purchased 3 hats from this location, and am pleased with each one. Every time I have gone the staff have been very friendly and helpful. They are more than happy to help you find a style, make suggestions, and work to get the right fit for you.
They also have a frequent customer card where you get a free hat after purchasing 10. (A lot of hats I know, but it’s still nice that they show appreciation for repeat customers).

Truly amazing. The store and it’s experts know EVERYTHING about hats. After 30 minutes, I learned more about hats than I knew in my whole life. John & Nathan are true professionals.
Will be back for another hat soon. Thank you guys.

Wandered in during the day on a Wednesday. Two employees and just me. We had a hat show. They were cool, nice, honest, and really helpful.
I quite liked the hats. Well made and I think reasonable prices for the quality.
All sorts of styles. Cool place

Had the pleasure of visiting the gaslamp district and stepped into this gem of a place. We were immediately greeted as we walked in and were given immaculate service by two men who worked there. I actually had the pleasure of being taken care of earlier over at the vans store by one of the Goorin bros employees working his other job. He was very helpful and helped us with any questions we had. We picked up a few caps and were impressed by the build quality of them .
Overall we had a great experience here at goorin bros hats and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Five stars straight up for the excellent customer service!
The hats speak for themselves. Goorin Brothers stands up to their reputation of having one of the best line of hats around for generations. Yes, it maybe more on the pricey side but you are getting a quality hat (affordable for what you are getting) and depending on the style you are getting, should last you through the years because they are classic.
Came in here one day as we were killing time before an event and my only intention was to browse. I didn’t want to bother the associate and on the other hand, I didn’t want to be pressured into buying something.
Two gentlemen, one with dreadlocks and the other one with a beard, were super friendly, attentive and were not pressuring. The one whose was helping me more, Nathan, still remained helpful and attentive even though I told him I was just looking. It didn’t stop him from helping other people on the floor and he went out of his way just to show me how the hat would fit and how it can be fitted to me. He showed that he is really knowledgable with the product and he genuinely love the artistery of it.
His customer service inspired me to go back home to Los Angeles and buy the hat when it is convenient for me. He also went as far as telling me that if in case that location did not have hat, to contact him and he will send the hat down from his store.
I truly appreciated the experience and attention.

This store is super sweet. I now know what a cloche is! I also learned the difference in meaning between wearing a bow, a knot or an arrow on said cloche… and I’m a better person for it. Thanks, Goorin Bros.
The products here are all the most gorgeous materials, from wool to straw to whatever they use to make strap backs. The staff are friendly, pretty helpful, and if you have questions, they know the answer! The décor of the shop is awesome and old timey. The selection of hats is extensive. They have multiple styles for some hats, most styles are unisex, and everything comes in TONS of colors and sizes! Really, they have something for every head.
Hat care is explained fully, you can have your purchase waterproofed, and if you ask nicely they’ll give you a shot of whatever they have behind the counter after you purchase a beautiful, new, well-​made hat!
