Whatever you do, DO NOT get this one:

Because I got one, and the damn thing didn't even fit me. What the hell is this? A child's hat? And what the hell is it made of? Styrofoam? It's a good thing my old man had another hat. It didn't really fit me either, but it fit better than the one in that link did! LOL!

Thanks for the advice - I've noticed they are advertized on the BBCentral site too.

Hey

Glad you told us about their crappy hats, as I am trying to find decent hats for me and my brother.

Was wondering about these:

Jaxon Hats Crushable Blues Trilby from Village Hats - now i know they didn't wear trilbys but the website makes a specific reference to them (and have a picture of them)

OR

Jaxon Hats Crushable Pinch Crown Fedora from Village Hats or there's this one.

Or if you know of a better hat? It's kinda difficult as we have to get a place that deliver to the Highlabds (Inverness) and that are not too expensive as we have to save up our pennies!!

:)

So if you have an info that would be really great!!!!

Cheers

Thanks for letting me know, I've found an alternative on Amazon:
Amazon.com: Black Pimp Gangsta Blues Brothers Costume Fedora Hat: Apparel
This one seems to have a much better rating, so I've added it to the store. And it's only 3 cents more than the other version!

This one is no good. It's got a really cheesy black band around the edge of the brim.

I ordered it and I had to return it.

Can anyone find any good ones on Amazon? Hundreds of people visit the site every month looking for an accurate-looking hat to buy, I need to be able to link them to at least a semi-accurate hat they can buy.
I need to be able to provide a cheap one too, as some people buy 30 of them at a time for parties etc.
