The hat and the hat band is priceless.

This lady would be insane to sell this Stetson! I hope she kept it.

Exactly. This appraisal was 15 yrs ago. I would think this hat is worth more than double his estimate. Probably much more.

[Raven]

Thought he was going to say $6, 000. Not 600.

Surprised for it being so old that it's in excellent shape Bought a similar one from Cabela's about 3 years ago. Wear it all the time and really helps when it's raining or chaining up when it's snowing. Still going strong and will probably outlast me.

A nice new Stetson costs more than $600, not including band....

[isadormoti]

That appraisal sounds extremely low. A new model costs around 200.00

[georgegonzalez-rivas]

Big deal. A good stetson or custom hat costs more than that now.

This assessment is WAY LOW!! I have a new Stetson with a Buffalo Nickel concho band that is worth close to $400, plus you should never handle a hat from the crown, but from the rim. Geez.

[scroungyredneck]

Don’t supposed to lay a hat down on the brim . Proper way is on its crown

[bthompson]

they didn't make horse hair hat bands maybe human hair
