It depends on your idea of inexpensive. Generally speaking, you're not going to get much for under $100. Check out the threads on Akubra and you'll find what many regard to be the best value in modern production hats. -

You might well be right with your first estimate. Like I said, I'm just guessing, too. I concluded a bit earlier than you based upon the onion skin liner, but I don't know when Borso was using those. Along with characteristics such as having unreeded sweats long after American hat makers were... -

Generalizations about style are more often wrong than right. 1951 1953 1955 -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I believe that price designation is far more rare than recent auction results suggest. There has been a glut of 20s and 40s lately. That binding style is always indicative of one of two things - either a broken-down homburg, which this does not seem to be, or a Bold Look hat. -

Here you go. Borsos are tougher to date that other makes. Just as a preliminary guess, based upon the style of the hat, I'll toss out a guess of early-50s. Others might help you get closer. -

The Dobbs Diner...
I like it, but keep in mind that a 1938 ad for that model doesn't mean that yours is or isn't from right around that time. Stetson used some names, like Stetsonian and The Avenue, for four decades or more. Dobbs may have done the same. -

We don't have such a thread, as we have nowhere near that kind of information on most models of hats by any maker. The thread with the most Dobbs info in one place is The Dobbs Diner, which has a lot of hats, ads, and info. I also ran a quick Google search for the model name you gave and... -
Return of the Broad Brimmed Hat
But if green car owners would educate themselves, they'd see that red cars are better. The impulsive purchase of poor quality colors by the average car buyer shows his ignorance. There is no possible way that, with further knowledge about green cars, anyone could possibly choose to buy a green... -

It's another day in the mid-60s, and we managed to get a nice walk in at the Seiberling Nature Realm before the rain. My wife is in her thrifted semi-colado and I'm in my new-to-me Optimo milan. We saw last year's tomatoes, fields ready for Spring, trees that have made many...
