It had a picture on it of him sporting a cowboy hat which he’d worn the week prior at his Thanksgiving dinner at Marvel Stadium.

Hutchison, who is a fan of all things American, revealed the eye-watering cost of his new accessory.

Craig Hutchison’s 50th birthday cake.

“It’s the most ridiculous investment I’ve ever made in my life, that hat,’’ he said on his podcast, The Sounding Board.

“There was no rhyme or reason.

“I had anticipated that to cost about a 30th of what it did. I was goaded into it by some unforgiving clients let’s say... so I did my bit... and I was left myself, personal cost, short changed to the tune of a $3500 hat. I’ve had cars that have cost less than that in my life.

“And I can’t wear it in Australia because you do look like a pickle.”
