Collection

[Dusty Rhodes]

Well every now and then it never hurts to wear one 2 days in a row, just don't do it too often.

That would be the Tan Stratoliner, my favorite.

Very good collection my friend... how about some pics of them on your head?

There are a few there at the end of the album. I'll see about getting one of my Airmen to shoot some of me, at the expense of LOTS of unmerciful ribbing LOL

That is the nicest set of hats I have ever seen all at one time! You are the envy of many of us here especially knowing what it would cost to duplicate the set at today's prices.

I don't blame you for hanging it up, you won't do any better today.

Thank you, I agree it's a fine collection. I haven't seen anythign on Ebay in a long while that screams "gotta have that!" I may break down and get an Adventurebuilt from Me Fedora someday though. And I do have Art making me one of his custom specials.

Great collection. I am green with envy......especially since they are all my size.

If you ever get tired of any of them.....you know who to contact.

You must have missed out on a lot of my auctions over the past year. LOL

Very, very impressive, Dusty. Wow!

Thank you sir, it's been a LOT of trial and error to get to this point.:fedora:

Beautiful collection! There should be some way to display a few a time in the main part of the house like you would any fine art or collectables.

I'm going to look into that, space permitting. I only got 1450 SQ Feet to work with and a Girlfriend who thinks I gots too many! LOL

In fact, could I urge all of us Lounge Lizards to include photos of the linings when we strut our stuff. Sure, it's a bit like judging a book by its cover, but (for me, anyway) that flash of white silk and the endless variety of trade art (much of it "period") is a significant part of the overall hat-wearing experience.

And yes, it's a great collection, Dusty!

Sardou

You bet, I shot the most interesting ones, espeically the MacLachlan with that Lumberjack shirt lining! Good stuff!

Now that is a collection of great looking hats. How long does it take to choose your hat for the day?? It looks to be a difficult task!

I go with what ever matches my pants and boots LOL I wear nice dress shirts with Dockers Mon - Thur and jeans on Friday. I'm a Procurement Analyst/SysAdmin guy so I'm either at my desk or down on the floor messing with a PC. I currently don't wear straws in the summer because the Humidity coupled with a leather sweatband would wreak havoc with skin issues on my forehead and face :cry:

Tough decision?¢‚Ǩ¬¶ Girl friend or Hats?¢‚Ǩ¬¶ LOL. Really, I am very happily married but my bride thinks I am a little nuts about the hats. ?¢‚Ǩ?ìObsession?¢‚Ǩ? was one of the words she used . She was laughing when she said that one. (Thank goddness)

 

[Dusty Rhodes]

Fantastic collection.
Surprised I didn't see any Borsalinos?

[SHARPETOYS]

Very nice!!

Great collection of hats! Thanks for showing us.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Thank you so much for sharing this superb collection with us!

It's always exciting to get a visual education. By looking at your hats, I get a better idea of what "the best of the best" looks like.

Clearly, you have excellent taste. Congratulations!

 

[Dusty Rhodes]

jeez!
really, really nice.

Thanks. I've always admired your hats myself. If only my head were smaller :cry: You put some fine looking lids up on Ebay recently. Wish I could have given them a good home.

I've gone through a lot of clunkers to get where I am today. My main goal is to really only hold onto what I will wear and you're looking at it.

mmmhhh...
great collection, I really love the Stratoliner, but I can't see it very well, I think for the monitor resolution. Could you send it to me, so I could see it by near!!
With compliments.

Dusty, are they all your hat size? How long did it take you to amass such a wonderful collection? Where did you find your hats? And PLEASE let us know when you are going to auction some of them off...KC

KC,
A few of them are 7 1/4 but I've stretched them out to fit me. The rest are 7 3/8 and I don't plan on selling off anymore in the forseeable future.
