Darlings, on your left you will find the bombastic Brooks Brothers Piped Fedora Hat, a similar look to the one Emmy Rossum has been seen sporting as of late; on the right you will spot J. Crew’s Panama Hat.While the J. Crew gem is constructed out of true toquilla straw just as the beautiful Brooks Brothers piece is; it is far less expensive, requiring a mere $58.00 to make it your own, as opposed to the $198.00 needed to take the Piped Fedora Hat home.
Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for Brooks Brothers, or be thrifty and spring for J. Crew?
Fashionably yours!
Thanks to Brooks Brothers and J. Crew for the pictures.

I...I like it so much! Again no difference.
ReplyDeleteI made a new one,but I don't know how to name the material. I think is called straw.Here we call it 'paie'. ;)) I'll better post some pics someday.
Have nice week! :D
wow, both so cool. a great summer find. Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteLove the J. Crew one!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'd have the guts to wear one of these. They look cool on everyone but me.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I would have to try them on though. I dunno if I'd buy a hat online or not. Very similar.
ReplyDeleteI've been contemplating hats a lot lately and here it would be J. Crew all the way!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful long weekend, Erika. xoxo
You know, I actually prefer the J Crew version! :P

Now, for these hats I seriously see no difference! Only maybe that J. Crews is a bit lighter colour, I would go for the J. Crew.
ReplyDeleteohh you are sweeter than me ahah!
ReplyDeleteyou deserve the award!
love, johanna

ReplyDeleteBoth are very beautiful. $198.00 is too much, I won't be a big spender!!!

That J.Crew one is perfect! I love it, what a great find, you know I love fedoras :D
ReplyDeleteBoy, those look identical!! And because of that, I'd definately go the cheaper route. But I love JCrew, I would have picked anything by them ;-)
ReplyDeleteI forgot sunblock yesterday so you know what I did? I bought a fedora at Express to protect my face. Guess how much it was? $7! I was so happy and I love it so much.
ReplyDeleteThe J.Crew one is just as cute--and perhaps I should consider investing in one since I burnt the living daylights out of my face at the pool last week!

ReplyDeleteI actually already have the J. Crew one, and I love it!
ReplyDeleteVery cool hats. Love the J Crew. xx

The J Crew number is fabulous... that will definitely be my choice.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July Erika! Have a great day! xoxo
The J Crew version is perfect! Such a great little summer hat. x
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeletewow these are pretty much the same hat so great find erika! I wish I could wear fedora hats but my head is too small so they usually engulf my entire head haha, it's quite funny actually. wow $198 for a hat is pretty ridiculous too, esp when you can spend that on a pair of shoes!
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment on my romper post. you should go back to buy the one that you didn't!!
hope you had a great weekend and a lovely 4th of July! xo
Wow, what a great comparison you have found...these items look identical!!
ReplyDeleteI recently visited the Paddy's market in Sydney and picked myself up a fedora style hat for $15! Score for cuteness.
ReplyDeleteThe J Crew one is definitely a great pick! Fedoras are fantastic for summer.
ReplyDeleteahh i love when girls wear hats, even tho i dont myself i find them really uncomfortable~ but this is a great post thanks for sharing!! x
ReplyDeleteBoth hats are cool!
ReplyDeletex
Definitely J. Crew! Hope you had a great weekend dear!
ReplyDeleteI love and need hats because I have sun allergies :( But with hats I can lay in the sun for pretty long, and those are fab! I have one like them, but it's floppy and it has a big bow on the back
ReplyDeleteBtw, thanks for leaving a comment on my blog, I really appreciate it :D
xoxo Sootjeelina <3
I adore !
ReplyDeleteThey are both so cute!! I think I would have to try them though to determine which to buy...but what a great deal for the J Crew! I hope you had a spectacular weekend Erika!

Love them both and definitely need to add another to my wardrobe, however, I will be opting for the J.Crew one. It is more in my budget for the outfits I will wear it with!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me that I need a good hat for summer! I'll definitely go for the J. Crew one! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, J.Crew! I'll definitely be picking up one of these little cuties.

I did a blog on fedoras! I def love them & I got one for myself this summer. I haven't been able to get it last year when they began to get big, but better late than never! I def love the Brooks Brothers one though. Check my entry out. :]
ReplyDeleteI'm always loyal to Brooks and suspect the quality will be better, but I actually like the wider brim of the J Crew one!
ReplyDeleteA girl can never have too many hats. Lovely pix!
ReplyDeleteJ crew really has a fabulous selection of hats this season.
I would go J.Crew bc I probably wouldn't wear it too frequently :) Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI've actually had my eye on that J. Crew hat for awhile now. Definitely wouldn't spend more than 100 bucks on a hat! The J. Crew one would def. be my pick.
ReplyDeletexo, becs
J. Crew please!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love these posts. They show that you can have top designer looks for reasonable prices.
You have inspired me to look for a cheap light-colored fedora. They are just darn expensive where I live.
ReplyDeletemust have hats this summer :)
ReplyDeleteJCrew gets me every time!
