ARTH - Headwear Store

On a recent trip to the west coast I had an opportunity to visit the ARTH hat store. Located at The Lab on Bristol St. this should definitely be on your spots list to check out. The clean & clear layout of the store is impressive & the hat assortment expansive. They carry everything from fedoras, gatsbys, military, beanies, handcrafted wool hats & a few fitteds. Arth seemed to carry mostly independent brands along with the regulars such as Kangol, Goorin, Dobbs, Stetson, & others. The only fitted cap brand being represented here was New Era & the styles being carried were a bit dated. It would be interesting to see if Arth starts to offer more fitted assortment in styles & brands? Regardless of their fitted game this is a spot to see & pick up a hat to expand your headwear game. Check back for more updates.
