I'm momentarily paralyzed by indecision (or by insects, if I'm too take Gboard's suggestions at face value, although the idea of being paralyzed by insects frankly terrifies me).

I wanted to get one of these hats. The color I wanted - khaki - is no longer available (of course). Same looks a little yellow, while light brown looks a little orange. Should I go with one of those, or should I open for the less-versatile but definitely nice-looking olive? Or should I give up on my dream of owning a reasonably priced, logo-free, suede dad hat?

Those are nice.

I vote Olive. Used to have an olive waxed canvas cap and it seemed to work just fine with anything even vaguely workwear or military.

Get the olive. I imagine olive would work as well as khaki in most circumstances.

I like them. They did more interesting colorways, but those are fine. They are pretty specific though because of the stripe. Quality is very good.
I really wanted the checked one, but I missed out... can’t find them anywhere else. What other colorways do you recommend?

Thought? Really like the side band detailing, I wonder how's CK 205W39NYC quality? Haven't tried them in person

I dig it. They look really nicely cut in general, and the side band for me is just right - small enough that it doesn't dominate the look so much as catch the eye, but still hard to outright miss. And I've seen side-striped pants worked into so many things these days that I'm convinced they're easier to work with than I'd initially thought.

I've been pretty impressed with CK205W29NYC's subtler stuff as a whole. I can't speak to the quality - it's all out of my price range - but a lot of it from a design angle, these included, strikes a really nice balance between tasteful and interesting.

As a sidenote, I really like the proportions on that biker, though I don't know who makes it.

I like the light blue. But that is a very specific color and can see why they might not be for everyone.

Go for the tan if you see them for a good price.
The light blur is cool, just hard to work with i guess. The tan is under $300. So, I assume it's a good price?

same thought on the stripe. I really liked the western shirt and stripe trouser, but I hate myself for not getting them during sales period...(at a more reasonable price).

Why are you having other people decide what color and price you like best?
Not sure, if it was mentioned to me or other post.
Anyways, I was asking just because I want to see what other people liked in that collection, but somehow made it sound like doing decision for me (Should have rephrase it better). As for price, I was hoping someone know a better pricing elsewhere that I might able to do the purchase because it's a little bit over the budget for me and I'm considering the resell value if I ever need to sell it.

I really appreciate the criticism. Since, I'm an indecisive person when it comes to clothing, and I do want to make more decision on my "own"
