How do you justify charging £821.61 for this hat? More to the point, who would pay such a price?
Holy COW! The place must be owned by hat "timinthecloset's" relatives....his cousin "Mortintheloo"......hahaha!

Price is a product of demand.How do you justify charging £821.61 for this hat?
My guess is there is some demand in some circles with mucho dinero who want the "MM" on their stuff as a status thing. Here's Maison Michel's catalogue. IMO, there are some truly inane-to-hideous items in there.More to the point, who would pay such a price?
I agree. You're paying for the designer's name (or, in this case, the logo) more than you're paying for the hat. It's just another example of people with more money than brains....My guess is there is some demand in some circles with mucho dinero who want the "MM" on their stuff as a status thing...

Maybe, but I'd find it more acceptable if that wealth was going into my pocket.IMO, an acceptable method of wealth redistribution.

Oh HO! NOW I see...those are the famous missing Elmer Fudd hats! How else can anyone justify those prices! Perhaps for this next spring, that Maison Michel's will feature the hats from the 7 dwarfs! HA! Miner's Hat anyone? ( Yes I know don't give him any ideas)!Price is a product of demand.

Well true but this hat was so super nice. I am just so shocked as to this happening! Most Resistols we have had we have liked even more than similar year Stetsons. No one issue like this on any hat. And I would not relish putting a ton of money into the hat as it was not a cheap purchase, a bit more than $200.00 I think with the shipping involved. I've not actually attempted to sprinkle something like baby powder on it and let it sit to see what happens. Perhaps it is some sort of an oil in the felt? The DYO cleaner I used on it, is actually much stronger than Lighter Fluid, (Naptha), and this is the very first time it did not take out a stain! The DYO cleaning solution can almost make a dollar bill be all flat white it you leave it on for a few hours, it is that strong. I really think if I left it on the hat for a day or so it might even melt a hole in the felt.Just a thought. A hat that light should be easy to dye any colour you want. Solve the spot problem pretty quick.

Ugh, they started out with some nice looking two tone felt hats.
But sheesh ever since they where bought up be the chanel group they have been making uglier and uglier things.
It's sad, cause they had a very nice looking store in the beginning.

I'm about to jump on this one right now ... worth it ?It's fashion for heaven's sake. There are those with a passion for fashion who love clothes with all their pocketbook. These styles are mostly not my cup of tea, though I do rather love the brimmed hat with the zipper down the middle. I sometimes wonder to myself why anyone would be inspired to spend 5 dollars for an Akubra hat. But I'm not going to say that here. It's a wonderful world with all kinds of folks who find value in all kinds of different things.

That sexy box is worth half of that price!!I'm about to jump on this one right now ... worth it ?

I'd probably pay what he is charging for shipping for that hat .... topsThat sexy box is worth half of that price!!
I wouldn't call it a Homburg, but a fedora with a curled brim. It's impossible to say anything about felt content from a picture, but I would guess that it's primary content is hare - which is better suited for longhair finishes than beaver. That's my two cents, but others will probably chime in with their viewsCan anyone give me their opinion about this?
It's a grand hat! Err, make that a four grand hat!I'm about to jump on this one right now ... worth it ?
