how many hats are too many

[John in Covina]

I'd say if you have hats you won't wear or don't go with any of your clothes they are cadidates for sales.

Thoreau kept two chairs at his cabin one for himself and one for company. As for my hats I keep one for myself , a felt or two, and a straw or two or three, as I like straws and wear them more than I do felts.
Rotation happens as I buy one and let go of another.

If you have so many that they get crushed trying to store them so you can walk through your home, then you may have reached the "too many" point. The fix for this is a larger home.

One more than what I have is too many.

 

[mikespens]

I think I have too many but it doesn't seem like enough. Pretty sure my house is too small as well.

Too many hat's ?

My wife says I bought too many hat's in too short of a time. I bought the Charcoal Stylemaster, liked it so much I bought the Acorn one 2 months later. Personally, I don't think it's enough.....maybe a moonstone one would go nicely with them.....

Anybody else have this problem?

 

[jlee562]

2 is not too many. I got two in one week once!

 

[Dinerman]

You don't have too many.

 

[Duper]

2 too many hats?

I frequently order two hats at once to save on the shipping costs. A small economy of scale.

 

[SHOWSOMECLASS]

One more than you can afford.

Dinerman, have you read any Terence McKenna? Your montage somehow called to mind his accounts of ingesting DMT. In a good way, of course!

 

[nice hat dude!]

Well if it was posted as a serious ? then I'd say that if they're spending all their time on the shelf and not being worn then probably to many.If you're a collector and have them for resale reasons probably no such thing as to many.Now if it's a personal fetish to have all the hats you can get your hands on you probably need help.Just
remember when you finally kick off somebody's either going to sell them or give them away,like anything else you can't take it with you so enjoy while you still can.

Hi

I think three different hats a day, morning,noon, and night, for everyday of the year is CLOSE to having to many.
That being said, I need to acquire a few more.
Best regards

Ask her about shoes or purses.

My wife usually says it for each hat I bring home!

 

[Aviator1]

Dinerman, That's a lot of hat's. I guess I have a goal now.

Oh, and I have many more hat's, I normally try to limit myself to one every 6 month's or so.

My wife usually says it for each hat I bring home!

Sounds like a reasonable, balances approach, to me.

My wife has luckily stayed positive about my hat obsession, although she did say that she needed me to admit I have a problem before I could buy another. So I did, and she let me...

I don't think there's "enough" hats unless you have one in every color, for every style you think you'll need. Of course, we should keep in mind that back in the day, many men had just one hat, a few if they were lucky, and they certainly didn't care for them as well as we do now. But they could also afford a new one if something happened to the one they had.

This is a tuff question ,I have a fedora for just about every color of suit I own,that being said ,I also have a black homburg and I just bought a tan homburg last night in an auction on E bay.
I guess the old adage applies here " so many hats so little time"
