    Hat price perception in an inflationary environment

    I read just recently about a Swedish hatter that was defending his price increase (or perhaps perception of price increase), where he argued that he was providing a $1000 hat value for half that price. It made me think this would be an interesting topic for discussion. I have bought custom hats...

    Any idea what the hat weave is?

    This is a Borsalino Optimo. On their site it says Montecristi but according to a local salesperson this is not a Montecristi. It looks quite different too. Very fine and light and different from a Montecristi weave. They have higher priced hats in Montecristi and these are clearly different.
