I was wondering what is about an average or good price for a fedora... on the whole.
Depends on what you are looking for. folks her seem to think you cna get a good hat for 100 bux but its truly ot possible. A good hat will cost around $450.00 - $2500.00 ,, That is in a custom hand made hat. Our baseline hats are 450.00 or 225.00 for first time buyers we give 50% off.
Akubra's are not a real fedora, but instead more of an out back hat that is full of stiffner.
A fedora will have .4- .7 degrees of stiffner and its all that is needed to shape the hat as it is a GOOD fedora. An Akubra has 4.7 -5 degrees of stiffner and does not qualify as a fedora accordingly.
Not to say its not a good enough hat for the money but it is not a fedora it just has a semi fedora shape to it.
The akubra is a rabbit fur hat and your better fedora's are fur blends or belly beaver. We offer hats up to 12,000.00 . I would not consider 100 dollars for a good hat a lot of money. That is 3 tanks of gasoline . A hat is an investment that should last at least a life time and if its sterling beaver it will last generations or around 200 years.
