Allow me to rub it in a little, fellas. Whist some of you get scolded for being vintage-aholics, my baby actually suggested we convert our upstairs middle bedroom into a walk-in closet so I can keep expanding my collection of hats, and clothing. Helps me organize my Ebayables too.

Here are the Before's. That big block on the wall is a 3' x 8' fold-down HO scale electric slot car track that I built for fun a few years ago and then never really did much with it - so it had to go.

The photo on the wall is a group shot of Fedora Lounge members taken by Robert (rlk)!

And here are the duds I can store up there now:

Of course, I've still got my original closet arrangement in my study downstairs. It presently still has all the warm weather wear, but in a few months I'll swap the stuff around.

It's got that old fashioned menswear come English club look. With the growing selection of vintage shoes you may need a special cupboard.

Really nice work! You really turned that room around! I'm moving into a tiny studio apartment with a walk in closet, I'd like to do a mini-version of the same!

lol lol Yeah, for the shirts anyway. I can fit more that way. The jackets and suits are all on proper vintage wooden ones I've salvaged and scrounged over time.
