Eric, Thank you! I very much enjoy seeing your collection. The pre 1940 NOS Canadian Soft Felts that you have featured are really special.Steve; Thanks for sharing this 50's hat. I do look forward to seeing your hat collection. It expands my horizon. This hat has the characteristic ribbon work the edge treatment is just cool. Fun to see a different hued felt.
It is never a contest just a validation of what we wear. IMO. Repeat away as I totally enjoy your posts. your hats, your wife's hats and the cultural differences of Japan and Minnesota (my neighborhood) I encourage you never to feel embarrassed. Please do not reflect a personal value in comparison to others, especially myself. I have frequent gaps were I just am not able to participate and post on the forum. I too have days were 1 cap or hat is all I have opportunity to wear. This has been frequent the past 2 pandemic years. (My posting not always normal - I agree. I admit I am not normal (life and actions) and my frenetic days certainly are not normal. It is normal for the folks I hang with, but we are self aware that we are indeed not normal. I walk the streets of my neighborhoods knowing that I will stand apart from the norm. This said hat/cap fans in general are not necessarily crowd following folks. I imagine that we have all found a comfortable space that we inhabit. Included is my age and reflection that mostly I do for me and care little about others opinion if what I wear is ok.)
Cheers to all posters on this thread, Eric -
