Impressive gentlemen!

 

[tomb1013]

Some great looking hats!

 

[m0nk]

If I had more than 10 hats I would certainly be posting, but many of the hats on this thread would certainly rate among them if they were in my collection!

Josh, your selection is simply wonderful. I know how you must have felt when selecting the top ten... I guess if you were to select them again next week, there might be a few other hats in it instead.

I another thread, Garrett asked me what are my top ten hats. Let this thread be for anyone who wants to join in with their favorites. If you have a Top Five, or Top Three, go ahead and show us.

M0nk, like the man said in the opening post... feel free to show your top toppers.

Being able to do Top Ten VS's is serious cheating!!!!

 

[bowlerman]

No kidding! So do my top ten hats have to be ones that I wear the most, or just the ones I like best in the abstract?

 

[m0nk]

Wow Rabbit, I love each VS you posted there! They are certainly amazing, and some of them have a real vintage look!
