I also do not buy my straw hats right before summer or during the summer. I wait to purchase a straw hat after the summer has ended. The sellers (around where I live) generally put their remaining straws on sale and at times are open to a bit of bartering. So I may not have the overwhelming...
I would suggest visiting your local hat shop (if available in your area) and asking if they have any older hat bands that have been left behind. I know that a local western store near me has a box labelled "old hat bands." I poked around through it and was told that all of the bands were $5...
I wear my straw hats until they start to come apart. No need to throw something away when it is still able to be used. The stains, dirt and so forth just add character.
$75,000 for a hat? I might be able to invent that money into the equipment needed to make hats and then make one for myself. Yet, I suppose some people have excess money to spend. C'est la vie and all the best to them.

I only wear hats with cattleman creases. It is a personal choice. I do not personally care for the look of other modern creases. I suppose I am just set in my ways and very picky. Hahaha
I have over 100 baseball caps. I have a few that wear I when I am not wearing a western hat. I posted a comment on another thread about baseball caps as well. I wear baseball caps when I go shooting, hiking, or camping. I also wear them at baseball games. :)
Most of my baseball style caps have...
i have a custom hat that was made by Gene Baldwin of Baldwin Hat Company of Sister, Oregon. I did a great deal of searching for a custom hat maker before contacting Gene. I have had a great experience with Baldwin Hat Company. Gene sent a conformateur, directions on how to use it properly, and...
