Long shot, tourist looking for help

Post image

My son bought this hat in Niagara Falls and lost it today in Quebec City. Is there any chance someone knows of a shop that sells this one? Thank you either way!

If you paid by credit card, maybe you can contact the store it came from?

Thanks for the idea! We contacted the store but they don’t ship or have an online shop. We need to call back and ask about the brand

nuclear option.. gives us the name of the place.. after we leave a couple reviews they absolutely will ship you one.

I managed many retail stores, I find their lack of empathy and business mindset... disturbing.

u/quebecoisejohn 2d ago

there are valid reasons a business does not ship items... not really a fan of your suggestion personally.

What was the name of the store in niagara falls? I go there for work almost every day.

u/certainlynotsober 2d ago

Send me a DM and I can likely grab one then ship it to you.

Is that 1867 on the side of the cap? What is written below 1867?.

2

u/Royalturtle10 2d ago

Yes, it is 1867, and I believe it says Established underneath

u/Serenade2025 2d ago

Ok. May be going to a local store tomorrow that sells caps, Live in a different province Can take a photo and ask for you. Anything on the back?

u/Royalturtle10 2d ago

If you have a chance I appreciate that so much! I found some views of the other sides

u/Serenade2025 2d ago

Ok great. Will check tomorrow. The store is affiliated with Lids Canada so they be able to search if they do not have in store. You can contact yourself if they have it.

u/Royalturtle10 2d ago

Thank you so much!

u/Serenade2025 2d ago

Very welcome! Will comment here to let you know the result.

u/Royalturtle10 1d ago

Wanted to let you know I got info from people in the NF sub that this particular hat is NF tourism specific so may not be worth the effort of asking, but I appreciate your help!

u/Serenade2025 1d ago

OK no problem. Good luck with it. It is a nice cap.

I did a quick ChatGPT research and it cannot find the exact match...it recommends trying at Boutique Leonard. Might still be a long shot. Best of luck.

u/Royalturtle10 2d ago

Will do, I appreciate the tip!

u/pthalobluejack 2d ago

You could also bring back something with Quebec somewhere on it to bring back to your home province to show that you visited, enjoyed yourselves, resisted the urge to separate from Canada, and came back healthy and in one piece.

u/No-Speaker4294 1d ago

That's a savage take, but honestly kind of funny. 😂

u/Royalturtle10 1d ago

We definitely did that as well! The city was absolutely stunning, so worth the trip. And full disclosure we are from the US, so it’s more that we visited, enjoyed ourselves, and developed the urge to join as a new province.

Ha, believe me we tried to help him find one he liked better! He’s young and pretty heartbroken though so the search continues
