Located just around the corner from the historic battle ground of the Alamo, a shop called Paris Hatters has been on the same spot in downtown San Antonio, , since 1917.Here the Cortez family have been selling Stetsons to cowboys and fedora dress hats to oil barons and movie stars for more than 100 years. They supply hats to the Texas Rangers, to the local sheriff and his deputies. They still steam each one to custom fit and ring up every purchase on the old hand cranked till that has sat on the counter since 1930. The Cortez family have seen everything and everyone come and go in this former colonial outpost, now known as the Texas Triangle. Today, they find themselves catering to a surprising new wave of incomers — Californians.
