My Hats

I only own 4 hats at present but I fully intend to buy more as the opportunity presents.

How many do I have? I don't know. Plenty but not nearly as many as Jimmy the Lid. His shelf display is nothing short of awesome.

Stetson 4x cowboy hat circa 1994 in silver belly
Stetson 4x Open Road circa 2010 in silver belly (fedora shape; really low crown)
Stetson 4x Open Road cicra 2010 in silver belly (cattleman crease)
Stetson Royal Sutley in carabou circa 2011
Steton Royal De Luxe Open Road circa 1960 in silver belly--cleaned and reblocked with a new sweat band, ribbon and binding
Stetson Royal Deluxe Open Road circa 1940's in silver belly--all original for $25!
Stetson Gun Club in some brown color from 1998
Stetson straw Cinch from 2011
Stetson Panama fedora from 2009
two no name panama straw cowboy hats for banging around, a no name panama fedora also for banging around, and a Panama Bob I got in the mail a couple weeks ago...I can't say enough about the Panama Bob hat--very nice and great price! And, needless to say, I have been a Stetson supporter since I started buying my own hats. But, I really like the vintage style crown and won't buy another new Stetson until the crown heights gets a little taller.

I also have around 40 military hats and fire helmets with a glangarry and a flat cap thrown in to the mix. BUT...

I ordered a Heritage Fur Felt Camp Draft...so, one more!

Bowlerman, you collection certainly backs up your forum ID. It's derby city at your place.
*sheepish grin*, slightly embarrassed... I'm starting to branch out, to my wife's relief.

Al-- it's a start ;) though not even close to many of you other loungers! Lots of them are less than top quality, to say the least, but I enjoy them all, even if they don't make regular appearances on my head.

Aureliano-- 1. great collection!
2. great photos!
3. I really like the colors on the Dobbs Hanover Square, that Optimo Dillinger, and that Knox vagabond. You really cover a great spectrum!

DJH-- "small" but any collection that includes that Tumwater has got be a great collection already!

Thanks bowlerman! I love the Dobbs, too. I think I've managed to cover a good terrain style-wise.
