> Whether you really need a hat that takes that much time to make is another question "Need" probably isn't the word that is applicable. Nobody needs a hat that costs as much as a small apartment; if the sun is punishing, you can always get away with a knotted handkerchief. It's not even a question of showing off; if you drive a Ferrari or a Roller, everyone knows they're expensive. But it's hard to tell without close inspection whether some guy's panama cost £200, or "if it's really the expensive kind"[0] [0] Bob Dylan, /Brand New Leopardskin Pillbox Hat/
