Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats D'Arcy Echols hats

Along with making fine custom rifles, they also have an excellent shop hat. It's well made and comes in XL (not one fits all). If your ever needing a new cap, check them out.

Hat would just about be the only thing I could afford from his shop.

Hah!

I was thinking the hats might run $300 or so!

I could wear his Hats while wearing my Lamborghini sweater.

Guys,

Here are three examples of Echols caps. Kevin Dilley did the photograph.

No one I know would know what the hat referred to. I would be better served with a Panama City Beach hat or a Marlin hat.

Is the XL size determined by the head size of normal customers?
Bonefish, nobody I hang with would know the name either. If they did they still would not pay for the rifles. We have to use tools, cant afford art

Great hats! Reminds me, I need to order a couple more.

Pay money to advertize for someone, makes good sense to me.

I'll mail you a hat AND a t-shirt from the shop for free. 😄

^^This^^ ... Nor do I wear anything with an UnderArmour logo or sport a stoopid Browning deer head sticker on the back of my truck.

I thank my lucky stars your advice has been worth about what I've paid for it!

I'm betting you have to pay for a lot of things.

Including your advice on women. Laughing!

Friend gave me a Netjets hat that they give shareholders. Wore it once and felt like an ass-clown in it. Sent it to the homeless shelter.

I bought an ASSMAN'S PLUMBING & SHOP SUPPLY hat the last time I was in Fort Pierre, South Dakota.

Gave it to a proctologist friend of mine and he loves it!!!

Easter Blessings,

You never know who will look at your hat and make a comment. I was wearing my Echols hat last summer while guiding fishermen along Becharof lake in SW Alaska. It is not a place often visited but one afternoon a Cessna landed a mile away and an hour later three fishermen hiked by and one looked at my hat and asked if I knew D'Arcy? He told me he had met D'Arcy at the SCI show one year and aspired to someday own one of his rifles.
The fishing was slow at the time and at least by wearing the hat I ended up meeting a kindred soul and having a nice discussion.

Just for kicks and giggles, I ordered a D'Arcy cap. I've met D'Arcy a few times and liked the man, plus the cap had a cool cape buffalo on it.

I went on the web site and the caps were available in medium and x-large, plus the adjustment. I have a large head, take a 7¾-inch cap, so it sounded like the right hat from the beginning.

They were out of the orange (which I didn't want) and the moss (which I DID want), but the had the khaki in XL.

Ordering was a breeze and I was a bit surprised that there was NO POSTAGE fee ... usually, companies nail you for five to seven bucks on postage. So the cap was $25 with no postage.

I ordered it on Thursday, April 02 at 4PM and got the e-mail receipt back in a few moments.

The cap arrived by Priority Mail today (April 06) about noon. The Priority Mail cost D'Arcy $6.10, so it's amazing that the shipping was at no charge.

The cap is probably as nice as any I've seen. Absolutely great quality, excellent adjustments (I had to make it bigger) and it looks really, really fantastic.

The packaging was pure D'Arcy; an extra heavy-weight box, the cap was in a gallon-size ZipLok and had been packed in styrofoam lamb-farts ... obviously with lots and lots of care.

I would have to say the D'Arcy Echols cap is pure quality all the way, including the packing and shipping.

Would I buy another? Heck, YES ... I'm going to lurk on the site until they get in some in moss color.

Anyway, that was my experience in ordering the D'Arcy Echols hat.

PS. My mailman is an Noveske AR freak ... we both love and own Noveske Thunder Ranch Special Edition rifles. Anyway, Randy the Mailman ringy-dinged the doorbell and when I answered the door, he said, "Steve, what the Hell are you getting from D'Arcy Echols? Isn't his stuff the world's best???"

I answered that I ordered a cap, so he waited until I opened the box. Randy loved it ... Randy ordered his own, using his SmartPhone while standing on our porch.

It's said that there's "perfection"....and then there's "D'Arcy Echols Perfection".

Think I'll get myself a hat.

I bought a hat from D'Arcy a while back. It is very well made and I was able to wear the smaller size in the moss color even with a 7.5 hat size.

He charged me several thousand dollars for it, but he threw in a rifle for free, so I was okay with that.
