My wife and I are tearing our hair out over this. The ONLY place either of us can think of that even carries such a thing these days are the three retail giants, Walmart, K-Mart, and Target. Quality on what is essentially a costume item is hard to come by, and we've ordered a couple different ones from the internet, but have been disappointed in all of them.

The one I used to have I bought before Y2K, and it was absolutely amazing. Pretty sure I bought it from Toys R Us of all places, and it wasn't just a big of party clothing. It was quite functional. It didn't have any of that itchy nylon material on the inside, the fur looked gorgeous even after years of use (compared to the ones we're finding now that look like drowned cats right out of the box), and it actually kept my head warm. I'm pretty sure it was also made of velour (crushed velvet) which is far more luxurious than the cheap plush stuff I'm seeing everywhere. All in all, it looked like something the Big Man would actually wear.  Everything I can find now looks like it's made for children, even if it's sized for adults.   Sign of the times, I guess.

Guess I'm hoping maybe someone else here knows of a reputable source for really good santa hats.
