Full Hat Collection Photographs Thread

[MattJH]

I'm thinking something like this thread. It's old, so I can't revise my post there. Good excuse to start a new one, yes? After lots of shuffling, trading, selling, buying, returning, etc. over the years, these are the surviving fur felt hats. Simple and efficient, just how I like it.

If you can't tell, Brooks Brothers made my favorite hatbox.

P.S. - I'm aware that many of you will need to break out multiple wide-angle lenses to display your full collection, so in that case, maybe just your favorites?

Back row, starting from the left:

Vintage Black Knox Bowler in 7 3/4 [Crown: 4" - Brim: 1 3/4" - Ribbon: 1 1/8"] w/original box
Vintage Fawn Herbert Johnson made for Brooks Brothers in 7 5/8 [Crown: 5 1/2" - Brim: 2 1/4" - Ribbon: 2"] w/original box
Vintage Brown Dobbs 20 in 7 5/8 [Crown: 5.5" - Brim: 2 3/4" - Ribbon: 1 5/8"] w/original box
Vintage Grey Stetson Whippet in 7 5/8 [Crown: 6" - Brim: 2 1/4" - Ribbon: 2 1/4"] w/Brooks Brothers box
Vintage Brown / Grey hybrid MacLachlan in 7 5/8 Long Oval [Crown: 5.5" - Brim: 2" - Ribbon: 2 1/8"] w/original box

Front row:

A Carbon Grey and Dark Brown Akubra Federation IV Standard in 7 5/8 - both modern and both with Brooks Brothers boxes.

What's on your Christmas list? A Flagship, an Open Road, and/or a Stratoliner?

 

[MattJH]

I appreciate the compliments, but you're all supposed to post yours!

Hah.

I want one of those featherweight Champs that I see around every once in a while, but they're never my size. I used to have one in 7 5/8 that Optimo restored for me, and I still kick myself for selling it off back when I preferred stingy brims, which was only a year and a half ago.

I'll cheat and just provide a link to a couple of shots of my collection. Nothing new since this was posted. Oh except the beautiful Dobbs Fifth Avenue that M_Jones was kind enough to gift me after my terrible smoking hat tragedy! Thanks again M_Jones!!!

No problem my friend, I hope you like it.

Say, did you get my last PM?

Oh, to keep this on topic JCBurns has a very impressive hat collection!
And to think he "stole" them all out from under me...lol

It was Time.....

I thought I'd try and organize some of my lids into a group type photo. I was able to fit 38 of them in this group. I guess I'll have to start another one for the rest.....this is what I came up with so far. [huh]

 

[Garrett]

Bolt

I notice the Lion/Beaver made it to the initial 38 cut.....

 

[Tango Yankee]

Wow, Bolt,

That's quite a collection you've put together! :eusa_clap Seems just a week or two ago you were just starting out...

Happy New Year!
Tom

Happy New Year to you and yours my friend.
