Any good place to get a black (litvish) hat in Montreal?

Someone in my family needs one there. Would love a Borsalino, but I assume you can't get one there? If not, what's the best option there?

TIA.

Be very careful when driving into Montreal with USA plates. They are stealing cars and the police can't or don't want to help. Call Montreal Chaverim press 9 they will help you secure your car.

Aside from Cheskie's which is a must, what are the not-to-miss kosher spots in/around YUL? Need a lunch and a dinner.
