So I've been skimming this section, as I have about 10-12 hats all stacked up. I've been double stacking hats in some boxes as much as I can. Can anyone point the way to making my own hat box? And inserts. I know there are some "rings" made out of cardboard and some flat cardboard panels with a cut-away.

I don't want a rack, as I'm afraid moths and dust will get to them.

I just had a made-to-order hat safe delivered today. A hat closet, with capacity for 45 hats is supposed to be delivered next Thursday. The closet will have a lock, but I plan to put my most expensive hats in the safe (14 hats, or 28 if I only stack them two at a time) when I leave on vacation.
Last week I was worried about my hats getting stolen by the maids when I was in Acapulco, so I stacked them all inside a smaller safe and they got squished.

Are you interested in adopting a middle aged man? Maybe just hiring me to curate your growing collection? I love your passion: no half-measures with you.

My wife would agree, but not in a positive way, Brent.

Wives can be like that.

Wives can be like that.

They wouldn't be wives if they weren't. They would be lovers, instead.

When I told my Mom I was going to get married again, she said "Why would you want to marry her? I thought you said you loved her."

I dearly love my wife anyway, but I wish she were my lover as well... Well, you can't have everything.

What's the combination? When are you going on vacation again?

It varies by year and by country, so good luck piecing it together...

I forgot to ask the dimensions of this case. How deep is it? Did you measure your hats and have it built special? Looks like it matches the other closets.

Yes, I had a carpenter build it to match the wood in the other closets. I measured the hats. I remember the interior space between every shelf is 15.5 cms.
I don't remember the depth, but every shelf is 8 cms short of being level with the door, so that the front of the brim can "hang" from the edge of the shelf without being squished when the door closes.
And I think the interior width of the closet is something like 96 cms., so that I can have three hats per shelf without the brims touching each other.

Nicely done, Max!! My only suggestion might be to place the Panamas upside down in a cardboard "ring" on the shelf, as if it were in a hatbox. That way, the brims will stay as you like.

Thanks, Red.
Edit.: Sorry. I responded to the post late last night, and I was still pretty sick, Charlie.
