Here's an updated photo of my hat collection. I did one of these photos a while ago and stuff has changed since. Obviously I'm still gonna get more hats. I like to do photos of all of them grouped together to show off my jewels. Haha!

Left to right on the hat box: 40s Stephen L. Stetson Fedora, 50s Knox Fifteen Fedora, 40's Eagle Fedora.



Left to right on bottom: 20s-30s Chesterfield Derby, Early 60s Dobbs Fedora, Early 60s Dobbs fedora, 30s Englander Derby.

Hat boxes are Lee and Dobbs.

Allan and Garrett, these are incredible! Nice video and good to see the "time-lapsed" breadth of your amazing collections. Really quite good views of the hats, even if brief!

I tried again. The best I could come up with was categorizing by style, which of course got tricky with the crossovers. I'm getting a total of 86, and yet still hankering for more, especially after viewing the last couple submissions!

Whoa the hat on the bottom looks just like my Stephen L. Stetson. Is yours John B? Or Stephen L?

 

[Bushman]

I'm honestly completely unsure, sorry about that, buddy.

I'm honestly completely unsure, sorry about that, buddy.

Well it's pretty easy to tell a Stephen L. Stetson. On the sweat of mine, there's a logo that says SLS. Also the size sticker behind the sweat says Stephen L. Steston and a quote that says, "Never connected in anyway with John B. Stetson company or predecessors hat makers in Philadelphia". They had to put that in their hats because John B. Steston CO. was going to sue the Stephen L. Stetson Co.

Here's what mine looks like:

 

[Bushman]

Huh, I had never even noticed that before! :doh: Just checked my hat, it's a John B.

Hehe. The quality I feel between both Stetsons are very similar. Think Stephen L. Stetson is the Dodge Brothers of the hat makers. You get what I mean?

 

[Bushman]

Yeah man.

 

[guitarmasta12]

Yeah man.

Hehe.

Thank you sir!

 

[hatsRme]

Great collection, VERY well organized Matt!

 

[Historyteach24]

Thanks! I have been trying hard to get them all out and shown. I am running out of room in that front area though and I'm not about to sell many hats lol

 

[hatsRme]

It's probably best to build on an addition to the hallway, Mattster. Plan for growth, though... go long!

I was figuring to just take down all the pictures of my family and replace them with hats that remind me of them
