I once visited a Panama Har factory and the difference between a $20 and a $100 hat was striking. However real surprise was awaiting in the special room with $600+ hats. They feel like they are made from completely different material - soft like fabric, yet able to hold their form no matter how much you try to stretch them. You get that unique feeling of a very high-quality physical product like you would get from, for a example holding a very fine sword.
