[monbla256]

Will let ya in on a secret, you ARE obsessed Collecting hats IS an obsession Really all we need is a daily work hat, one felt for winter and a straw for summer with maybe another felt for dress ! Keep it up your'e on your way to becoming like the rest of us ... OBSESSED

I should end the year with 9 hats. 6 new and 3 custom. All full retail price. I don't even want to add up how much the total cost is. I have to start using e-bay to save money. I know a lot of you have really nice hats and didn't pay a lot for them.

I have to start using e-bay to save money.

I'm not sure that this works.

Saving money and ebay don't go together.
I sometimes find a hat that no one else is bidding on but the good ones always have watchers.

I'm at 87 for myself and around 300 for my new store opening in the spring

Occasionally I get out to Myrtle Beach. Hopefully your store will be close enough for me to visit.

:arated::arated: Actually more in one day.

Winner!

He must soon be building an annex to store all his hats!

I think I bought two hats this year. Feeding frenzy has long been over for me...

With a collection of about 100 hats.....and that is not current. I gave 1 away, then another, and last month I gave a straw and two felts to a friend.
Still...I have 80. 1930's Boater, two top hats (one a Christy's), some fine Silver Beaver McLauchlan, about 15 Optimo felts..and another 5 Optimo straws (two are SUPER FINO's)...and the rest are about 10 Art Fawcett..and remainder are TRUE VINTAGE Stetson, Dobbs, Cav's , ....fine fine hats you cannot find on Ebay.

So..how many in a year..none this year, last, or the year before.

I have been here since 2003.....so I got a big jump on vintage hats when they were available.

As a result...I don't need to buy anything..at least until Art comes out with some super color!

I kneel before your collection. Wow.

This has been my first year of retirement and I've been actively searching out vintage hats. I've managed to find 15 so far this year including two Borsalinos, a Sammy Taft custom beaver, a Bates Burlington and a Stetson 3X beaver. I found them all in either thrift stores, rummage sales or contents sales. Total cost: $62. I've been lucky. At least my wife doesn't complain about the cost...just the storage!

I slowed down the end of last year, but already have gotten 4 from the Bay in the last 2 weeks. I need to put on the brakes again.

 

[Edward]

Uhm.... When I started wearing hats daily, about six or seven years ago, I owned maybe five. I now own about three dozen. Around a third of those are fedoras and the likes... I'd average that at five or six a year...

Doubles figures, but not exactly sure.
Notice that no one says "too many."

Have you ever heard a woman says that she has too many shoes? Men and their hats must be the same
