Akubra's from Hatsdirect...up in price-?

Spatterdash...I agree completely; let me re-iterate that those are someone elses' opinions, and like I said -there are 2 sides to every story- we're only reading what a couple of unsatisfied people thought.
From the JPD hats I've seen, and reviews of them I have read, I see that his product is top-notch. My posting wasn't intended to harm JPD's reputation, just to explain my hesitation in ordering one.
Also, let me add that Jimmy did return my messages, I just haven't followed up by calling him.
Donato- those KOCS AB's are going to be nice, but I want a lower crown and a wider brim than that, and I'm guessing since they will be a 'production' hat, they will come 'as-is'

Oh- the Deluxe is a lighter brown than the regular Federation, isn't it?

I like the Peters Brothers, but he's about 3 months out for new orders from what I understand. I've been meaning to call Jimmy, but quite frankly, the feedback I read here and on other forums has kept me from dealing with him.

I recall an old the lyrics from an old Sly Stone song,
"The higher the price, the nicer the nice, Happiness is what you pay for what you need"
Buy it if you really want it, what really holding you up funds?
If thats it save for it.
Just think what you pay for at some fancy hotel, a weekend get away
with wife or girlfriend plus,
gas, meals, entertainment, you see? its the enjoyment.
You own it!!!
Basically prices go up these days, its a given.
I've done business with Hatsdirect and
Soon I'll be ordering Akukra's Federation Deluxe
