Albertus Swanepoel™ for J.Crew fedora

Reader Linda sent this in after seeing this fedora on Blair Edie of Atlantic-Pacific blog (see post HERE). This hat from J Crew retails for $178.


Interestingly, Linda spotted the same designer (this time for Target instead of J Crew) produced a similar leopard fedora which retails for a very reasonable $19.99. Click HERE to purchase.

Anyone know if the band on the Target version is removable?

very good question kelly. we must know.

Actually you can remove it. It's stitched on loosely in half a dozen spots, but there is one spot w/ a little glue. You can carefully pick it off; it may not be perfect but it's not noticable.

one thing worth noting - the target hat is soft and floppy, not stiff like you would expect a fedora to be.

Thanks yellowdog - I snipped my band off quite easily, and mine didn't have a glue spot! Love the hat. It's pretty damn close to J.Crew. And I don't mind that it's soft - it holds its structure on the head quite nicely.
