Full Hat Collection Photographs Thread

[DJH]

Thanks, Randall, Rabbit and Manfred. I must say, I've enjoyed putting this collection together - love wearing them too!

[Landman]

Great collections! Thanks for taking the time to put together the collages. They make a great reference for comparing some of the hats. Happy 4th.

Simply amazing collections!I could look at Rabbit's and David's collections all day long.

I finally got around to taking the remaining standard pics of my vintage hats collection (only the Milan is missing). My only Optimo/Chicago is also included in this collage. I had a lot of fun handling all these different felts right after one another. Some of the pics have already been used for the first collage posted earlier this year.

Thank you Again ! for the great stuff you take the time to present so well.

This is awesome.
Probably not my size, so I'm not jealous . I still own a handfull of hats and 2 are coming (Panama from Panamabob and a beaver hat from Penman - almost the same price).
