I got my hat education back in 1993 from O'Ferrell Hat Company, Durango, Co. Custom made hats. I think the cheapest was 10X $350.00 Free measurements. I saw one with price tag of $175.00, the kind lady explained that was the hat band. There was another place I think in Cortez, Co can't remember the name, but I met the guy who owned the shop and his wife at the top end restaurant of the town celebrating his wife's birthday or their anniversary , and he made custom hats and took us back to his store which sold other things, beside hats, had the same equipment as O'Ferrall, he claimed he made the hats for Unforgiven, had a letter from Gene Hackman, and photo of Hackman in his store. The guy was early thirties, he said he could do the hat I wanted $200.00, in 10X I should have closed the deal, I just met the guy, and his beautiful wife, that night and it was 11pm when we were in his store, both he and his wife were celebrating, but all O'Ferrall said was ture. I have the business cards of both somewhere
