I want a KOTCS style, but it can't be over $100 Singapore Dollars excluding shipping...
Thanks in advance!

Get the one that has the least question marks. You have enough of those, for now, my man.

Correct me if I'm wrong but at today exchange rate, that's approx. USD$76 (excluding the question marks). Unfortunately since your budget includes shipping, you're likely looking at wool felt options.

Still, around $76 doesn't leave you with many options. Your best bet would be for someone selling their old hat in the Cairo Bazaar. Next closest fur hats would be Akubra Fed IVs ($103 before shipping) or Christy's Adventurer ($99 before shipping).
JulianK is right, though. If you can't get those hats, then you're stuck with getting one of the wool fedoras (most likely a Dorfman Pacific).

Dorfman-Pacific from the official site at that budget is your only bet.
Or eBay Asia?

Well, unfortunately what JulianK posts, including OR 'x-cluding' shipping, still stands.
You're not going to find much out there short of wool hats in the price range you state, regardless of film style, unless you find a good used one in the classified section.

Type in "Fedora" on eBay Singapore. I searched for you and there's an OK one there.
My advice would be to save some more money up rather than settling on something because it's "cheap." Another $75 would get you a great hat.
EDIT - As an aside, search for Indiana Jones. There's some funny stuff there, reminds me of when I used to do my "Funny Indy Auction" thing back on Indyfan.

you can get the wool felt christy's from hornetshats.co.uk. That's about that much, I think.
Could you edit your original post and do away with those question marks? It's a bit redundant.

maybe it's best to just wait a while and build up your budget. I have to do that too now before I get my Henry from Adventurebilt. But I'll get there. And I know you'll get there aswell.

Christy's is your best option on the budget you have presented. You can order here.

Scroll down to Adventurer and order the sable color in your size.
