Hello good people of the dnd forum. Today i am here asking for help. I am trying to find a red wizard hat like elminsters. Unfortunatley though i have found no such thing online. I found one close on etsy, but they wanted $100 for it which is too much. Any asistance on buying or making such a hat will be greatley apreciated.

Hey, not cool. Wizard hats are glorious.
Provided they have a wide brim though, simple conical ones are kinda dumb.

 If you have any sort of craft skill you can make one, but if you want a decent-looking one, you're going to pay almost as much for the materials as the other people will charge you for one - good materials aren't cheap.

A search of pattern-makers websites will most likely turn up several patterns for various styles of wizards' hat, and a general google of "how to make a wizard's hat" will also probably turn up several methods of varying quality...

This thread made me want my own wizard hat.
But a realistic looking and worn one, bendy in the middle, kind of like Paul Kidby draws for Rincewind:

OK, this one may be a little too worn.

I think the real question here is 'how badly do you want this hat'.  If $100 is too much to make your dream come true, I'm foced to assume the answer is 'not that badly at all'.

Yeah, to me shelling out $40 for a regular leather hat is a bit much right now. $100 for something I wouldn't be wearing that often... yep, not that badly

 The traditional handmade Irish wool cap my avatar is wearing goes for about $60 or so... Basically, if you want a costume piece like a wizard hat or pirate boots, you either pay out the wazoo for it or you make it yourself.
