All of my fedoras so far

Here's all five fedoras so far.

Explanation here.

Like I wrote there, I'll eventually add a black one, and one more hook, and be finished.

I have been finished multiple times....Hello, my name is Tom & I'm a hat-aholic.....Is there a 12 step for this affliction????

 

[rlk]

I finished being finished successfully many times.

Is there a 12 step for this affliction????

There is. Once you have "finished" 12 times, you are cured......

......of ever thinking you are "finished"!!!!!!

All I can say is wow. Fine, fine collections, everyone! I have a humble beginning here-- the only ones not included in this photo are a few ball caps, and a few Target and gas station ones. I suppose there are two derbies that are scheduled to arrive somewhere around the end of the month.
A good family photo has proven quite a difficult task, but here's my best attempt-- enjoy:

When I first found this site I was just looking to get ideas for a hat to cover my bald head to protect against the dangers of the sun. For some reason (I REALLY don't know why) I was drawn to a bowler on E-bay. Not exactly a hat I could wear to and from work everyday, but I purchased it anyway. Fast forward a few months and now I have purchased ANOTHER bowler (last week) from E-bay, a stingy brim fedora, and I'm seriously hoping to purchase a felt fedora from this site's classified section.

Never in a million years did I believe I would end up spending this much time on a website, salivating over some of these fantastic hats I'm seeing. I fear that, before long, I might end up with collections like some of you.

Hat collections under glass?? I love it!

I thought I was mistaken once while trying to quit, but I was wrong.

 

[alanfgag]

I finished being finished successfully many times.

Haven't been there... haven't done that.

I am holding off on posting my collection until the last 3 commissioned are built. I am sure there will always be something else special out there that will catch my eye.
