While we all know there's no shortage of officially licensed sports apparel, I've noticed that there does seem to be a potentially relatively under-served niche in the area of quality apparel and, specifically, quality hats.
Now, it may be under-served because there isn't a market for it but that's what I'm wondering.
So, let's say that the following was a real-life availability:
- A top-quality, officially licensed, Alabama straw hat (think Panama hat)
- A hat manufactured by a reputable company
- A hat that, when properly cared for, will last a decade or more instead of a year or maybe two
- A limited edition run, one-time only design, individually numbered
- Classic styling but still definitively Alabama, e.g., a classic Panama-style straw hat with, for example, a houndstooth hat band plus a crimson feather and script 'A' hat pin
What's the most you would be willing to pay for such a hat?
