please, help me decide what hats to buy

[sergejvandervreede]

This is me yesterday with $15 crappy hat. Upgrade is definately necessary. If only to get a somewhat bigger brim!

Sergey it is the story of everyone
I put the "first" hats in a box to have them in a good storage, because without them I never have this passion.

 

[sergejvandervreede]

I decided to go to Van Dijck in Utrecht. They have been selling hats since 1923.

Came home with these:

Panizza

Mayser

 

[Blackthorn]

I like that fedora! Good choice!

By the way. Did you wear your first hat everyday, or did you kind of built it up??

Sergej;
The hats suit you, but one hat is just like one pair of shoes. Rotation makes everything last longer.
More stuff less wear.
How many umbellas do you own, bet it is more than 3, maybe even a Senz?
Welkom btw from this old Freis

When I bought my first dress hat, it was going to be for dressing nice and special occasions. Within the first month, I decided to be a wear it every day guy. Of course, that was a couple of dozen hats ago...

Very nice choices and they suit you well. In response to your question, I felt a bit self-conscious at first. Soon, though, I became more and more used to it, and now I often forget I have one on. If you think about it, not wearing one is far sillier than doing so. Here in Miami I'd be a fool to walk out in the burning sun without one. Besides, I know that people's opinions of such things don't matter, as they'll all be rushing to the stores to buy them when the fashion changes.

Yeah, I was afraid it would work that way. I'm already thinking about my next hat!!!

So like ingineer, no chance of staying with just two hats it seems, oh boy.....

Haha, true words!!! Wear what you like. If others don't like it they are free to look the other way

Well, you see, you need your everyday hat, then your special occasion hat, then you need a grey one, then a brown one, for when you wear those colors, then a green one for wearing darker earth tones, then the same colors in a couple of other styles you like. So that's about 9-10 right there. Then there are the straws and Milans for summer, which will nearly double the count...

Aha. So that means I'll need to buy another eight hats or so. I'll tell my wife that she and the kids can't have any new clothes for the remainder of the year....or food for that matter. I'm sure she'll understand [emoji53]

Eh, my wife came around, and without all that food, we've both returned to our sveldt figures we had in our 20s!
