How many hats do you have...?

[Aureliano]

I don't know if this has been done in another post.f so, I'm sorry and please point me to it because I couldn't find it doing a search. Anyway, looking at the amazing hats that Jimmy The Lid, Douglas, Dinerman, Gene and others post all the time, I always wonder, how many hats do these guys own?
I thought it'd be fun to open our closets, storage rooms, etc and count. Guys, how many hats (or lids as Jimmy would say) do you have?
I start with my small collection.
4 straws(1 borsalino brisa, 2 montecristis and 1 cuenca panama) and 10 fur felts.(6 borsalinos, 2 guerra 1855, 1 stetson whippet and 1 knox vagabond) Total 14.
happy counting!

[HungaryTom]

18 hats + 14 other headgear

4 straw (1 Cuenca, 3 Montecristi) 12 felt (1 Hungarian rabbit fedora, 9 Vintage Silhouettes, 2 Akubra). One Montecristi and one VS felt in the loop.

I got the two Akubra from Cookie (Thanks!!!), I gave away two rabbit felt and one Montecristi and got rid off one old and cracked wheat straw.

Enough beauties for now, I think.

Other headgear: One canvas camouflage hat, one tinder (mushroom) cap, two berets (the green beret is lost the maroon is still there), 4 black wool knit caps, two tam 'o shanter (a third was lost), one golf cap from Argentina (carpincho inlets - that was stolen on a train) one gift baseball cap (never worn), one Lapp (Sami) headgear I bought in Helsinki that was pinched by one 'friend'.

P.S. I found two threads earlier with "How many hats do you own?" but those are gone now.

How many hats do you own?

More than I have undershorts...not a huge number. But, your query did provide the motivation for me to look in my room and do roll call...

15 Akubra Bunnies
3 Akubra Plasticos (Polystraw)
1 Fuji Panama
3 Brent Black Montecristo Fino
1 Stetson Cuenca Panama
1 Barmah Squashy Roo
2 Oil Cloth Packer

Not counting in the total below, a mess of various Kangols, two ARVN tiger stripes, other goodies from Uncle Sam, and a beach hat from the Waikoloa Hilton that I wear in the yard...sometimes. And maybe a half dozen Cowboy Stetsons/Resistols that are MIA in my garage (along with an Akubra I know I bought a decade or so ago )

So, 26 that I actually have in rotation.

 

[lc1484]

14 total

3 Vs customs
2 Knox (1 vintage 20, 1 vintage homburg)
1 Akubra Fed 4

1 Optimo straw (Panama hats direct)
1 Dobbs straw

[HarpPlayerGene]

Tryin' to embarrass me huh?! Impossible!

I did my count by scrutinizing my Photobucket records (link below). Looks like I'm right around 100. There's more than that in evidence in the Photobucket list but at least one deteriorated straw had to be tossed, a couple nice hats have gone to fellow Loungers and some of the real questionable cheapies have moved at yard sales lately.
