Yep... some nice felts right there. What happened to the Chamois? Not dry yet from its morning shower?

Some mink oil got onto it while I was treating the sweatband, thanks to an unsteady hand. Wasn't much but the felt absorbed it almost instantly. Been thinking of doing a gas bath on a few, and this is one that could use it.

Today I started organizing my garage. I store my hats in my garage and a spare bedroom, that also houses seasonal decorations. I have another 50 or so scattered around my house in my bedroom and living room. The garage project made me take stock and get an exact count. 173. I don’t want 173 hats. I have four more customs on order too. I find that I’ll have hats on the bottom of the stack behind another row of hats. Some hats I don’t wear due to difficulty of getting to them. I briefly considered a small remodel to make room for the hats, but I don’t want my home to revolve around hats and there is a distinct possibility that my job will require a move this year and I can’t move 173 hats into an apartment.

All of this is to say that I’m in need of a serious reduction. I think 50 hats is a reasonable number, and I’d like to get it down to even fewer.

I’m a size 7 5/8 and I’ll be making the hats I’m thinning out available to members here in our Classifieds before moving them into ebay. Not all of them are vintage or gems. I have several more recent and more common hats to thin out. Feel free to send me a preemptive PM if there’s something in particular you’re looking for; otherwise, I’ll slowly put them in the classifieds.

View attachment 203852 Furthermore.....just to insult my own injury as i say....wish i could get to the black box near the center...there’s a nice BC VS on top. About 30 leather jackets run protection for those boxes up top that i remember stashing some nice hats in. I think?? A fall into that pit could be fatal.
This is not a collection...rather a congregation that gives me something to look at should i exercise eyes right.

Imagine the prospect of moving it all into a studio apartment. I’d like to say I could get it down to 25, but after 50 it so it’s going to really start hurting.

An incentive was when my wife suggested we go look at fishing boats a few days ago. That would take some of the sting from liquidating some hats.

Cautiion on that whole boat thing by your wife......it could be a ploy......get the boat FIRST, then liquidate the hats

Not my full collection, but all of these examples are pre-1930, with a majority of them being pre-20s.
