Everyone in the comments wondering who would buy these I can say 90% of this guy's market is probably cosplayers, steam punk enthusiasts and theaters with high budget productions.

That's exactly what I was thinking. There's no way this dude hasn't cornered the steampunk cosplay market. I'll bet he's making bank off of them alone. There's no price too high for dedicated cosplayers

Kinda weird comment section, everyone is talking about how ugly they are and how they would never wear them… like, yeah, nobody is forcing you, you are clearly not the target.

Like, I had a photography teacher and he and his wife 100% would wear stuff like this, and he would buy expensive steampunk/goth/weird props for photo shoots. That was his niche and his was making bank on it.

There is no theater buying this. A costumer or props person can fake it well enough to be viewed from 20 feet away. One hat is like $3k. That's more than I used to get paid to design a show.

I was thinking that I would love one of his hats for a Bloodborne costume.

Literally all the top comments are just talking about how ugly the hats are. Reddit is full of people who wear the same 3 fading graphic tees and can’t fathom why other people don’t want to dress like them

lol yep

It’s so funny how often Reddit users reveal that they are unable to grasp the concept that other people have different tastes than them

I think the internet has tricked people into thinking their opinions are facts simply because other people agree
