Thank you for the great idea...!!!

USPS Priorty Mail Large boxes seem to be a perfect size for storing fedoras, and they can be acquired free of charge. Matter of fact, the post office will ship them to you if you submit a request.
Awesome moontheloon did you build those yourself? Or did Keith build it for you?
Not sure what you're asking
These are boxes that either hats came in or that I bought empty and put hats in

If you know moon the loon then you know Keith. If you don't know moon the loon then you never knew Keith and therefore he didn't build it.
ahh ... you were referring to Moonie .... gotcha
that one went right over my head
Works like a George Foreman grill? Fedora Panini? Kind of cool, a little big maybe. Welcome to the discussions, stick around and read read read. You will learn a lot about our mutual obsession.HOws this travel case? View attachment 85616 View attachment 85617
I saw the hat from across the room, planted atop a pole in the crowded antique store. I knew in an instant what it was and that if it fit, I wanted it. A shopper was milling about looking at items all around. "Oh please don't look up," I thought. With social distancing in place, I had to wait my turn to enter the booth. As soon as she left I swooped in to make the grab. A vintage Stetson Open Road Twenty, size 7 1/4. Dented and bashed more like a traditional fedora as opposed to its traditional cattleman's crease, perhaps shoppers, and the booth owner didn't know what they had. A little bit of steam and shaping and I'm now the owner of a fantastic looking hat.
I have the Fedora Lounge members to thank. I've been eyeing this particular hat for some time. Reading everything I can find about it. Stetson ads are fine, but your extended knowledge is priceless.
Now that it has found its new home I want to take care of it the best I can, which leads me to my question. How do y'all make DIY boxes/containers for your hats? Attached are photos of my attempt, using a plastic file box, a cut-out side of yet another plastic tote and cardboard, cut with slots.
Please show me what you've come up with!
