Not my full collection, but all of these examples are pre-1930, with a majority of them being pre-20s.

All wonderful examples, Justin. That Hulbert in particular has such character to it.

Yep... some nice felts right there. What happened to the Chamois? Not dry yet from its morning shower?

Some mink oil got onto it while I was treating the sweatband, thanks to an unsteady hand. Wasn't much but the felt absorbed it almost instantly. Been thinking of doing a gas bath on a few, and this is one that could use it.

Easy on the coffee with that mink oil in hand! Beautiful hats, thanks for sharing the portraits with us.

Today I started organizing my garage. I store my hats in my garage and a spare bedroom, that also houses seasonal decorations. I have another 50 or so scattered around my house in my bedroom and living room. The garage project made me take stock and get an exact count. 173. I don’t want 173 hats. I have four more customs on order too. I find that I’ll have hats on the bottom of the stack behind another row of hats. Some hats I don’t wear due to difficulty of getting to them. I briefly considered a small remodel to make room for the hats, but I don’t want my home to revolve around hats and there is a distinct possibility that my job will require a move this year and I can’t move 173 hats into an apartment.

All of this is to say that I’m in need of a serious reduction. I think 50 hats is a reasonable number, and I’d like to get it down to even fewer.

I’m a size 7 5/8 and I’ll be making the hats I’m thinning out available to members here in our Classifieds before moving them into ebay. Not all of them are vintage or gems. I have several more recent and more common hats to thin out. Feel free to send me a preemptive PM if there’s something in particular you’re looking for; otherwise, I’ll slowly put them in the classifieds.

Wish i could remember what i can’t get too. Did i say that right? Idk can’t remember. I think on birthdays and holidays etc. i’ll just open up some boxes and see what my gift is. The gift that keeps on giving. Back in my cave now.

Furthermore.....just to insult my own injury as i say....wish i could get to the black box near the center...there’s a nice BC VS on top. About 30 leather jackets run protection for those boxes up top that i remember stashing some nice hats in. I think?? A fall into that pit could be fatal.
This is not a collection...rather a congregation that gives me something to look at should i exercise eyes right.

Imagine the prospect of moving it all into a studio apartment. I’d like to say I could get it down to 25, but after 50 it so it’s going to really start hurting.

An incentive was when my wife suggested we go look at fishing boats a few days ago. That would take some of the sting from liquidating some hats.

Cautiion on that whole boat thing by your wife......it could be a ploy......get the boat FIRST, then liquidate the hats

You’re a wise man.

Or perhaps a subtle hint that something is going overboard, the hats...or else...

Justin, Great to see the focus on the old Soft Felts. All fantastic!
