What's the most you have spent on a hat? Just curious. The medication I am on causes my face to break out in the sun. Enter an el cheapo replica hat like Eastwood wore in a Fistful of Dollars. I am liking the style so much, I am having a custom hat made to replicate the replica. It's going to be made with a special mink/beaver mix in a color called "mink", which is a dark grayish brown black. It's the top line of the top line. It's going to be stunning, but the price? Owwwww. ____________________________________________________ New and improved super concentrated me: Proud rebel, heretic, and Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal.

I can't remember exactly how much but I spent around $150 for a Stetson beaver hat many years ago. It's still like new. Admittedly I don't wear it much anymore. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

It's too bad I can't get priced by the size. I have a small head apparently, 7 even. I have to go the custom route because my head is tapered oddly. The store uses a rather strange metal device/crown from 1904 with all vertical rods every 1/8 inch in a circle. Boy my head has some flat areas, no wonder standard is a poor fit. ____________________________________________________ New and improved super concentrated me: Proud rebel, heretic, and Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal.

You might want to visit a site called Fedora Lounge. More WW2 era styles but there are some very good looking hats there. If I recall there are several makers or at least links to them. Yes custom built hats are not cheap but they fit right and last.

I paid $70 for a guy to create a digital file of the Magnum PI VMO2 Da Nang logo because I wanted it embroidered instead of on a patch. Then add the cost of the hat and shipping and I spent over $100 for a baseball hat. It was worth it. I love that hat. Enjoy yours and please post a pic. Year V | |||

Never been a fan of cowboy boots or cowboy hats. The boots tough to walk in and somewhat uncomfortable. The hats a PITA to store and tough in the wind. Just don't get the affinity for them. And both more expensive than I can rationalize. | |||

My Tilley is the most expensive hat I've bought at about $65.00 ish. While I'm not really a hat guy my bald spot and the FL sun dictates otherwise. I got a Tilley because they are pretty much indestructible.

I had to buy a new Stetson after resuming my Texas residence. $250. Don't laugh. The boots were even more!! Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Itchy was taken |
I wear straw panama hats all of the time to keep the sun off of my bald bean. I'll usually spend between $75 and $100. It's easy to find hats that cost many multiples of that. _________________ This space left intentionally blank. | |||

I used to work in a shop that was next door to a custom hatter. His cheap custom hats were $350. The good ones $600. I was fortunate enough to swap a police trade-in Model 10 for a $600 custom hat. It's too good to wear.  I wear a boonie every day. When they start to draw gnats you can throw them in the washing machine, and they're cheap.This message has been edited.

Spent a good sum on a very nice straw Resistol for summer use. Kinda bums me out that it's impossible to wear one while driving these days because of the head rests! My nicest is a Stetson, but I don't know what it cost as it was a gift from one of my best friends. And somewhat ironic as he got it by cashing in Marlboro points, as that's what killed him. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

I have a couple Filson hats I love. They're my "lucky" fishing hats. Neither is expensive, probably a $75-80 hat. Heavy canvas, looks good to me. ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

Although I don't wear them anymore, the most I ever spent on a hat was around $175 for a Stetson felt cowboy hat. For working out in the yard, I just wear a hiking type hat which provide great coverage and are under $50. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

Yeah, don't even start with the boots. My last Luccheses were cheap at $500. They've got some that go for 10 times that. The Stetson Broken Bow was ~$280 (close to the Tom Horn style mentioned above). ———- Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for thou art crunchy and taste good with catsup. | |||

I've got a couple of Tilleys. They are kinda expensive, but really great hats and I wear them a lot. They can be washed repeatedly and come out fine. Very comfortable. They will even stay on your head in a wind. "Ride to the sound of the big guns." | |||
