Is this company worth the money, what could the difference be between this hat and other custom made hats, that are $300.

I'm with you on that one Robert!Panamabob said:Man, I'd love to see one of those $30,000 hats.
Yeah, I would love to hear the sales pitch that goes into selling a $30,000 hat and then meet the genius that falls for it. Actually, I would also like to meet the guy that shells out $1500 for a hat. I wonder who ends up with the $30,000? I wonder??Panamabob said:Man, I'd love to see one of those $30,000 hats.

1911 Man said:When it comes to the actual felt, there can't be that much of a difference. I've learned a little about felt hats over the last few years from the hat makers over at indygear.com. They will tell you all felt for hats comes from one or another of only a very limited number of suppliers (I think 8 in the whole world). Some have better quality than the others, but Steve Delk and Marc Kitter of the Adventurebilt hat company will tell you, beaver felt is beaver felt. You can get the same quality in a beaver felt hat for much better prices elsewhere.
As a side note, I know absolutely nothing about Panama hats, and can make no comment about quality versus cost on those. But personally I would rather buy a brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle for that kind of dough. Plus I would still have enough cash left over for a nice new suit, tailored shirt, new tie, new cordovan leather shoes, and an evening at a nice restaurant with my beautiful wife. But maybe my priorites are different than other people's
