It varies by year and by country, so good luck piecing it together...

I forgot to ask the dimensions of this case. How deep is it? Did you measure your hats and have it built special? Looks like it matches the other closets.My new hat closet was delivered yesterday

Yes, I had a carpenter build it to match the wood in the other closets. I measured the hats. I remember the interior space between every shelf is 15.5 cms.
I don't remember the depth, but every shelf is 8 cms short of being level with the door, so that the front of the brim can "hang" from the edge of the shelf without being squished when the door closes.
And I think the interior width of the closet is something like 96 cms., so that I can have three hats per shelf without the brims touching each other.

Nicely done, Max!! My only suggestion might be to place the Panamas upside down in a cardboard "ring" on the shelf, as if it were in a hatbox. That way, the brims will stay as you like.

Thanks, Red.
Edit.: Sorry. I responded to the post late last night, and I was still pretty sick, Charlie.

Swapped out the straws with the felts today. Space is tight and all forty hat boxes are in use (some with multiples). The eight “go to” hats are on stands and I don’t have a clue what to do with the 1/2 dozen new arrivals due any day. These are just the hats here in town. Probably twenty more at the farm. I did cull out the hats that don’t fit and will need to find time to find them new homes. How did it get to be this many?
Be careful out there...this can get out of control very easily.

I’ve gone back, over and over, to see someone’s hats but never where someone stores their hats until now.
It’s not often one sees perfection but you have achieved it again!
Heck, even the ******* TV is stunned!!

I store some of my hats on hat stands that I made. I used 8" styro balls and mod podged cartoons, music notes and other fun stuff. I placed them on wooden candle holders and some old light fixtures. Hats that I don't plan to wear in the near future goes in a hat box. I will send some pictures when I get home from work. Please share yours.
Thanks much!
Thanks much!
I've typically kept my hats in their boxes for years now, which made switching hats in a pinch more of a process. However, this year I was gifted a hat and coat stand for Christmas, which I plan on using. At least it will keep my coats off my bed posts.
