Hats you own and don't like

I'll post some pics in a bit.

I have a few. Mainly new ones, some vintage. I'd like to see pics of what you don't like in your inventory, or things that have become staid and boring to your eye.
Has to be from your closet.

Show what doesn't work, things you thought might yet don't, and say why.

I have a borsalino that I got a couple years ago that I don't wear anymore since I got hats from Art and Tony B. along with a vintage Borsalino nutria from the 20s!!!

For now I'm keeping it since it makes a good rain hat in comparison to the others I have

I have a Dunn homburg that I don't think fits my face very well. I hold on to it because it's so nice, but I think I may move it on. I only wear it once or twice a year.

I have a Stetson Open Road I don't wear much because of the cattleman crease. Not sure if I want to keep it or sell it though. I'll probably keep it and get it reblocked sometime.

I only have one fedora that I hate. I have a 1960s era porkpie. Looks horrible on me. I have a Stetson Homburg that is very nice but Homburgs are not my style and I will likely never wear it. But I don't hate the Homburg. I have it to have an example of it in my collection.

I have an old Cavanaugh that I really like, 40's or 50's vintage, good shape, nice looking hat. The thing is, the thing's got a high crown and just looks silly on me. I hate it.

This one is too stingy for me, and at 7-3/8 doesnot even fit, but the angora finish is special.

I have a few at the moment.

This Christys stingy, as I realised I don't like stingies, and black hats don't really suit me:

And another Christys, mainly because it's black (although I do keep it in the car just in case):

I keep the ones I don't like, because I regularly grow my hair long and then buzz it, which inevitably changes the rotation. Still, my cheap wools don't really get any noggin time regardless.

My wool John Bull topper is a bit of a heartbreak, because I love the style and dimensions, but the brim is so damned flimsy and always shows unevenness and wrinkles, forget about the rather uncomfortable sweatband. Problem there are plenty of other hats I'd buy before ordering a custom John Bull.
