PhoenixRose: you could also go with cotton,
but for some reason I found it easier to get ahold of fancy merino wool than 100% cotton yarn...

and of course there is always acrylic, but personally I didn't want that (but it would look perfectly good and be warm AND be non-alergic)

Thanks, I'll see if I can find her.

Lol, you know what just crossed my mind? I just KNOW at least ONE of you put on their Jayne hat while being butt naked (well, maybe socks) and ready to get it on, going "Time for some thrilling heroics!".
You know who you are, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. I will do the same and am in fact looking forward to it.

Agatsu, check eBay too. Several knitters regularly sell them there. The bidding usually ends up around $30 US. Some of them will do custom sizing, too.

Acrylic might be a good choice, too. Cotton yarn tends to itch a bit. Acrylic is smooth.
Of course this is all assuming I can find someone to knit one for me, or find someone selling acrylic Jayne hats... Also assuming I would have the money for it. I've spent too much on official Firefly stuff already. Would be very shiny, though.

My Jayne hat is a wool blend. My friend couldn't find the exact colors in 100% wool. (The pattern she used called for very specific things and my friend takes patterns VERY seriously.)

Here are a 2 links to patterns, kits, etc.

I can also knit them for "cashy money". $30 + $3.85 shipping. I knit on round looms and can make infant, kids, adult, and x-large sizes.

If you listen to the comentary in the message with jewl and alan they point out that at poits in the episode his hat has straw loses straw and then magicaly gets it back again.
