I only vote on those.
The other categories are either a tie or not enough knowledge about it.

Thanks, and thanks a lot.

P.S. should have the pins Monday or Tuesday, the courier managed to send my package to someone else, recovered and send it back.

Will ship pins as soon as I get them !!

Okely-Dokely. This is where we are in a few short hours. I propose that category suggestions close on Friday, Dec. 9 at Midnight. Also, I cleaned a few things up (Most Knowledgeable replacing Professor, etc.). I'm open to additions, criticisms, complaints, and of course high praise. Jeez, I gotta get a hobby. Maybe I'll sart collecting hats, I dunno...

Great idea, Moon!

I'll just add my 2 cents here if that's ok...

Hard to argue here. Alan... for something. It boggles my mind. But also, some of the incredible vintage stuff Steve comes up with.


How about Moon's Stetson open crown New York? Someone had an Optimo, no? Dlainger. Or are their hats considered custom?


I'd add Chamuco's incredible string of inspiring Gannon hats. If nothing else, maybe a new category called MOST CLONED ORIGINAL HAT DESIGN. His Bone, Black Cherry, Navy, etc, all from Gannon. I know my Black Cherry Gannon is a clone of his hat.


Nothing to add here...


Agreed!


Steve here again (mayserwagener)


Chamuco - Gannon Black Cherry "Rodolfo"



Agreed!


Agreed!


I'd add Moon here was well.


Are you sure we can't just declare the winner on this category now????


How about Redfokker, and blueAZNmonkey


Agreed.


Are these all new hatters here for 2016?


Great nominations. I think it'd be a shame not to add others like Bob Jessee and John Penman to the list.


Would TJones also fit this category?


I don't know anyone else to nominate.


I'd also nominate Alan, Eric (balding shortguy).


'nuff said!


Yes, woot! woot!


Agreed!


I find Charlie (hatsRme) very inspiring and welcoming to boot!


Agreed!


WooHoo Jim!


What a great group!


I'd nominate Jim (fruno) also.... (just in case he loses against his currently listed competition as man of the year).


Heavy competition here.


If this title encompasses the person who helped others (read" newbies) the most, I'd have to nominate Moon, Baldingshortguy, Chamuco, Michael R and KYcrusader to this list. They sure helped me tons....


I have to agree there. Great Dads. How about casechopper, too.
Thanks Bro, somehow I never saw this thread, I am touched and flattered. Thanks a lot.

You should also be on the best Dad list

No offense to any other nominees, I think I've just asked more questions of him than the others. This was the toughest one to choose.

He always seems to be somewhere cool with his brood having fun. I'm looking at it more from a kid's point of view.

Well, there ya go. I found it to be way easier to vote for hats or collections than to choose between people.
Thanks a lot Moe, flattered, I think you nailed it, the reason why I spend a lot of time and kids love is just that, they see me as the right guy to be to have fun !! [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] you have good judging eyes.. It worked great for both my Grandpas, so I should have inherited it.
