Looking for Hat Boxes?

I've been combing the internet and found these at Amazon in packs of 3 @ $13.33 each. They work great and are stackable.

Brim Deformation in Storage?
Do you have hats with a soft brim that flatten out during storage? A "brim riser" raises the brim up from its storage surface and allows it to tilt/fall down if desired. Formed out of pool noodle quartered long ways, cut to desired length and then glued together to form a circle just larger than the hat band.

As this thread's purpose is to showcase vintage hatboxes from the Golden Era, perhaps you might find this thread more appropriate.

Those are some wonderful boxes. I can easily image them as part of an artistic display on the mantle or a corner shelf.


Not sure of the age, but this Akubra box just sold for $200 AUD at auction

A rare beast as I've never seen one before. Glad to have picked it up. Belonged to sellers' uncle. The hat was no longer there. Really nice condition for a cardboard box about a hundred years old.

Stetson 100 Case

This was the non-leather version of the Stetson 100 case. With red interior.

Hi! I've had a Stetson 100 since I won it on UK eBay in 2008, and it came in exactly this box, in poor shape.
I'm presently restoring it, not all that easy to do, given I have no prior experience.
