So I've been doing some searching on and off but not had much luck, I bought a cheap pirate hat a while ago but I'd like to find a nice hat..not a cheap $20 halloween costume hat...any suggestions?

I'm quite fond of Tall Toad: http://www.talltoad.net/ I have one of their Cavalier hats and one of their flat caps but they make some great looking tricorns as well. :)

McKay makes a quality hat that will last you a lifetime. I have their Barbossa oil/wax treated. When thrown it could be used as a weapon ::)
They keep you informed and are very nice to deal with.

I bought a Pirate hat for my husband from Lady Pamela of La Paloma Hats at TRF last year.  All of her hats are handmade and very good quality.  http://www.lapalomahats.com/

My evil twin got her leather pirate hat from Excalibur Leather.  It's a very nice coffee brown smooth leather.

I have been impressed with Pyrate Leatherworx: http://www.pyrate.org/index.html

They have some really nice stuff and I think they can do custom work...and make darn good coffee!!!

These folks deal in quality goods of all kinds, including excellently authentic, detailed tricorns...I have bought from them many times, and will again...

I second the recommendation for Tall Toad:

I have one of their fancy tricorns, and I ADORE it. :)

Me and some friends have bought hats from them and have been VERY satisfied with them.

since the hats are handmade, if you like I'm sure they can be customized.

Thanks again everyone for all the information - I think I went from having no choices on good hats to way to many lol! Time to ponder where to spend my money!

My wife has one and Im waiting on my Pyrate leatherworks one.  I found the blackbeard alittle too small for my body...ie I need a big hat

I guess it all depends on how much you want to spend on a hat. If price isn't a big concern then I recommend Excalibur Leathers. I have 2 hats from them and love them both!..

Here's another one to throw into the mix:

www.blondeswan.com - I bought a cavalier type from them and it's very nice

And I recommend Tall Toad as well. I love my tall hat I got from them, and their tricorns are good, too.
