I have had this strange feeling. I am content with my current collection of hats.
My collection consists of:
2 Akubra Fed IV Deluxe (Heritage Fawn & Moonstone)

1 Akubra Stylemaster (Regency Fawn)
2 Akubra Banjo Paterson (one with a...
I want to add a Stetson to my collection. It will be my first one.
Vintage or modern?
Open Road or Stratoliner?

My first 'everyday hat' was an Akubra Hampton (Cedar Brown) which I wear with a suit during the week. I since picked up a fawn Hampton.
Now I often think the Hampton is...
I have done a lot of lurking on this forum and have asked a few questions and benefit a lot from your answers. So I felt that it was my turn to make a contribution.
I have really liked hats for a long time. I have tried many on. Bought a few, sold some, bought more. I liked wearing hats when we...
I have a couple of hats that I no longer wear. What's the most effective way to sell them?
And what is a reasonable price expectation? These are current models, not vintage. Should I base it on a percentage of what the hat would cost new?
