Can't decide, need more hats [huh]
... I am wondering if there are folks here who, like me, like seeing this in others, but for themselves have decided on a signature style and stick with it.
If I really like something I dive in deep. I research the hell out of it, find out everything I can, and then try to decide on the optimum solution for me. For example I am a guitarist and love guitars - I love looking at them as well as playing them, but I'm no collector. I bought a nice electric in the 70's, a new one in the 90's and another last year. That's three in almost 40 years - because when I find what I like I stick with it. I love knowing collectors, and admiring their guitars, but I don't have any desire to be one myself. Even with things requiring less of an investment, beer for instance, I'm the same way. I used to brew beer and even became a recognized beer judge. I've forgotten much, but there was a time when I could have told you a great deal about beer styles from all over the world and how they are made. But ultimately I decided I really like English style ales and their modern descendants, so that's what I drink almost exclusively.
I'm guessing that my relationship to hats will go the same way. I'm still in the deep dive stage, but ultimately I am likely to come out the other end with what works for me and stick with it. For obvious reasons, many of the folks that post here seem to be more on the collector side of things, but I am wondering if there are folks here who, like me, like seeing this in others, but for themselves have decided on a signature style and stick with it.
What's your signature style?
My VS Milan. I told my wife that I felt it had become part of me, and she said that if I didn't take it off it soon would be.
