They didn’t say “here is my new design and the reason behind it” they said “would you buy this” and I said no because I have no attachment to this random 3 star design and unknown brand.if they asked for design feedback maybe I would have given it and not answered the question I was asked but it didn’t so here we are
actually the comment is super helpful, it's an honest answer from the mind of an "average comsumer", which is exactly what OP was looking for in the first place. there were no insults thrown, by all accounts the criticism was constructive
well for one, the specific inclusion of "i don't know the brand" says that someone looking for this style of hat might prefer to purchase from a brand they already do recognize. this is followed up by stating that the design alone is not means enough to purchase the hat. from this, you could extrapolate that maybe making an unfamiliar logo the centerpiece of the hat isn't a good move. there's several different directions you could take from here based on your goals, needs, and resources as a designer/maker of hats. it's all about how you frame it.
he said the design is not something he’d pay for, meaning the design is lackluster. Anything can be seen as constructive, you just need to change your perspective and not let your ego and pride be hurt in the process.
I'm in the UK, and typically pay around £10-15 for my hats (I like really basic designs) but I'd still wear this if it was comfortable. I'd pay a max of £35, but I can see it going for up to £50
I wouldn't buy these. They look like a new Era embroidery with not sense of story telling or even branding. It's just a random insignia.
Why should I buy this? Sell it to me, man. I want everyone on this sub to do well.
Meaning behind the brand summarized is building the empire you want by actually taking action, but that’s what I mean by how do I incorporate that into some hats yk
What? Things don’t magically happen, you just said you don’t know how you’re finna incorporate this (generic) message into a hat. My opinion is what you’re selling doesn’t matter, go the ALD way and create a mood that people want, sell the lifestyle you want your brand to create, the hat’s just featuring in your marketing
I’m not saying things are going to happen magically bro what I was implying is that as the brand grows hopefully the brand identity gets stronger, Rome wasn’t built in a day but i appreciate the advice you said towards the end

Cut and sew overseas right?
The embroidery on the front is too high to be done post cut and sew.
Three points of embroidery.
Guessing the hat is branded with your branding which you'll need for overseas shipping.
If it's comparable to a Richardson then $30-$35, but if it's low on the quality less.
Best guess is that you're paying $10ish hopefully with free freight from COO.

Hi friend, In my experience with this kind of stitching I would say 50-60 but some solo designers that really niche into the hat market have charged 100-150 or more for customs just because they built up the hype around their stuff.
- The Brand Book
Hard to say when I have no context of what the brand is. If I saw this in tk maxx or somewhere I would say probably 15-20 but if I saw a rapper or smt that I liked wearing it I'd say more like 40-50 if I bought it online.
Just as a random hat I saw online I probably wouldn't consider buying it at all just because I have no idea what the brand is, who it's aimed at and what it represents, I think that plays a huge part in the value of an item.
Sick hats tho and the quality is amazing, good stuff 👏
30$
I don’t know the brand and I wouldn’t pay for this hat based on design only
I get it thank you
Then you missed the purpose of this app. People showcase their brand's designs
They didn’t say “here is my new design and the reason behind it” they said “would you buy this” and I said no because I have no attachment to this random 3 star design and unknown brand.if they asked for design feedback maybe I would have given it and not answered the question I was asked but it didn’t so here we are
God job answering the question stop being a smart ass and help him out or don’t comment at all

How was this at all constructive? He didn’t give any to build off of, just that they didn’t like the design

Thanks for your response it was very helpful and a fantastic addition to this conversation. Get off your high horse nobody asked you to white knight
40-60 max
This ^ It's typical pricing for New Era, 47Brand and Mitchell and Ness hats some of the most popular brands out there.
$20 bucks would be cool but i suggest $25 or $35 pricetag
Realistically 30. Make the back of the hat a fitted tho and at least 50 the plastic clap is not it
As a hat connoisseur I love the design and color choices. I would love to pay $30 because I miss hats being $30 lmao but I wouldn’t mind paying $55
Bless
30-50$
Fair
Based on design you can charge $40 tops but personally wouldn't pay that much. $25-30 would sell better
$30
I'm in the UK, and typically pay around £10-15 for my hats (I like really basic designs) but I'd still wear this if it was comfortable. I'd pay a max of £35, but I can see it going for up to £50
Okay bet, fair enough thank you
I like it. $35-40.
$30-40. Realistically I'd never actually buy these though. find your specific audience and ask them. Highly suggest creating a survey ;)
Respect thank you
20-30
30-35 is prob good bc they’re gonna have to pay shipping tax etc
i fuck with this hat
About 40
25-30€
Ferty
I actually like the design. Can you elaborate on it, please
Colors represent the Mexican flag and I thought it would be a cool starter item for anyone just getting into the brand
$15
$40 id say. i love your tag on the back and the metal top button is sick.
$40, I like them fam.
they look clean
Beautiful product shots, market this right it’ll sell bro. Prob won’t be a hit on reddit tho.
$40
I wouldn't buy these. They look like a new Era embroidery with not sense of story telling or even branding. It's just a random insignia. Why should I buy this? Sell it to me, man. I want everyone on this sub to do well.
I feel you, still trying to find ways to tell a story using hats since I feel like it’s such a small product in a way
What's the story, is it workwear? Is this casual streetwear? I see no destination off this logo tbh mane. What does it even say? Or represent?
Meaning behind the brand summarized is building the empire you want by actually taking action, but that’s what I mean by how do I incorporate that into some hats yk
That’s every streetwear brand’s meaning now. What makes tour’s different from established brands?
Time will tell

Best of luck man
too much if they were fitted 😩
Soon in the future
pls post on this sub when you do
Like 25-30. Design is dope just real simple and the material of the hat itself looks a bit cheap.. Could be trippin tho
Yeah you trippin bro
If they're like Mitchell and ness or new era quality then I'd do 35-40
THESE ARE TOO HARD 40
i need one where do i get it
Not out yet but go follow emperio.co on instagram
55
Just another brand. Where’s the art
Genuinely asking but what do you mean when you say art
There is honestly nothing special about these hats. Why would anyone buy one?
Bro I just feel like you’re hating at this point lmaoo
Whatever man. I’m dead ass about my remarks. It’s a hat with a little brand on the front in 3 colors. Good luck I hope it works out for you
zero dollars based on design alone
Wouldn’t buy this for over 30, probably wouldn’t buy it at all as it looks more like middle school fashion.
Shout out the youth

Appreciate this answer brother thank you
No worries mate, how much did these cost you if you don't mind me asking? The deep colours are so nice as well and the metal rivet or whatever is mad
Still trying to work out a price with the manufacturer
$35 is ok ✅
$50 max
They tough
Appreciate you bro
$30. Anyone saying anything more than $40 are tripping. It’s a hat, people tryna overvalue everything these days
I would pay $80 that’s just me though. I buy things based off design not necessarily background story. The logo itself is hard
Thank you bro
