Dipper Hat!

Dipper Hat and Marvel Live! T-Shirt. Yep!

So, this is semi-exciting...

My "Dipper" hat came in yesterday!

I've got mixed feelings about this hat...

I think it's awesome because, well, it's a hat like Dipper's! I am a bit disappointed by the quality of the hat though. I ordered this one rather than any of the others listed on Etsy because it was a 'real,' six-paneled hat as opposed to a trucker-style hat. Also, the pine tree is embroidered rather than painted.

That being said...I had relatively high expectations for the hat quality-wise...especially when it came with a $29.99 (plus shipping) price tag. [Just about double the cost of any other Dipper hat listed!]

My Dipper hat, although 'nice,' is certainly not '$30 hat' nice. It's a cheap, flimsy hat...the sort that I'd expect you could buy at a gas station or touristy gift shop. The seller wasn't lying, it isn't a mesh-backed trucker hat...but it's just barely one step above a mesh-backed trucker hat.

To further my dismay, two days after I purchased my hat, the seller dropped the price to a much more reasonable $14.99.

I'd have far less to complain about if I'd only paid $14.99 for this hat. In fact, I'd probably be thrilled!

I'm pretty sure that there are no policies on Etsy requiring a seller to refund you the difference if there's a significant drop in listing price on an item that you've recently purchased, so I'm pretty sure I'd just be wasting time to even ask the seller about it...but I'm definitely planning on at least mentioning it when I leave a review/comment for the product. [I'm not 'allowed' to do so until tomorrow...grr.]

The kiddo and I are about to head out to one of the Halloween shops to see about getting his costume. This should be fun...I'll let you guys know how it goes!
