Burk's Bay or Sportsman's Guide?
SG can be a good deal, but you must research their prices on third party goods. Overall, I like SG. ~Caveat -The SG branded merchandise is in my experience total shite, oversized & under flea-market quality, likely made by Chinese Political Prisoners IMO.

Good alternative to Indiana jones style boots!
While on the subject These Duluth Trading Co. USA (Wisconsin) made cap toes, though they bear precious little resemblance to 405s, have thus far (6 months) been just super boots.

Observations on DIY hat cleaning.
