Have you heard? Henry the Hatter turns 130 this year, making it the oldest hat retailer in the United States! Joe Renkiewicz continues to lead the business today. Hats have been a part of Renkiewicz’s life since he was a little kid and now, you can be sure to find him in many hats.
Behind the diverse hats is a history full of grit. The spirit of Detroit is alive and well, which is reflective of how the business has risen from ashes in recent years. Detroitisit rounded up an exclusive list of the best hats worth showing off as we all pay homage to the birthday of a business that serves Detroit through thick and thin. Not to mention, the shop’s two locations (Detroit’s Eastern Market and Southfield) will celebrate with a new sale promotion each month this year.
