I have two VS hats by Art. I love them but my wallet can't afford every hat to be a VS.

Where do you like to get good mid price range hats? Something nicer than what you'd find at mass market retailers like h&m and the like but not $300-400.


Someplace in the middle - around $100-ish

Hopefully something I can access via the Internet

Let's give him a touch more info:

Great prices/inexpensive shipping, but not much in stock - often requires the dread three-month wait:

Higher prices/expensive shipping, but nearly everything in stock at all times:

I have had good success on Etsy. Try FineVintageFedoras. It is run by Bond, a member on the lounge. He has great product and excellent pricing. My success on Ebay has been spotty. It has acted as a great place to learn about fedoras but alas, most often I learn from my mistakes.

Second Akubra especially given the favorable exchange rate.

How about looking at any of the online catalogues like Bencraft or Delmonico or any of several others?

You can easily set it to show the US Dollar prices at both of those sites, but here's a very handy link:

Agree.
Bought a great beaver felt grey fedora from FineVintageFedoras. Bond was a pleasure to work with, fair priced, and reliable in shipping. Good hunting.

Northwest hats are still pretty reasonable. The webpage doesn't show their products very well but Facebook shows the mans work very well.

I've bought from Mike , too , at www.one2miniranch.com . He was super kind and helpful . Actually bought 3-4 times so far , and I'm sure I will again . eBay and the on-line site .

Plus Akubra I will say at www.everythingaustralian.com.au has a currency exchanger , you pick the currency and it automatically changes to that price (top right of home page) in your currency . I think www.hatsdirect.com do , too .
