Ever buy a hat online?
« on: March 15, 2017, 08:37:23 PM »
Any suggestions where I will get a good price/quality for my son who is becoming bar mitzvah?
I'd love to take him to a store but we live out of town.
Has anyone tried this guy who advertised on DDMS?

It's a great weekday style hat. Excellent value.

Wasn't there a thread about bringing back the casquette a while ago?

3" Brim is a bad idea. The bigger the brim, the faster the hat will lose its shape, also more sensitive to winds.

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

It's a $55 hat. Obviously it's not going to compare to a $300 hat, but it's a great value for what it is.

Not disputing that, it would be even better value with smaller a smaller brim. Would probably be easier to manufacture, and last longer.

I'd suggest emailing them in that case.

Just let someone make them aware of this thread. Could end up being great for business.

Not in the market for one at this point. Just got one during a recent trip to Eretz Yisroel.

I bought a nice 'Christys' Hat' from these guys. My advantage was that I actually went to the hat shop before buying it online for much cheaper. This is a UK shop that has low shipping rates to USA http://www.hatsandcaps.co.uk.

Description of this one sounds super practical, though it seems mostly out of stock.

Knightsbridge in my opinion is the most similar to the current look
