How many hats do you own?

[qwerty]

Do you collect hats? How many do you have in your collection?

 

[RedPop4]

Can I count ball caps? Not the most favored head covering here, but I like to support my teams and other ventures.

This is The Fedora Lounge, isn't it?
Only fedoras and hats alike are counted.
If baseball hats were counted I would have about 15 hats

 

[RedPop4]

Thanks for the clarification.

Counting my boys' Indy's and buckets, we have 15 between the three of us
7 fedoras for me, 1 each for them.

As I posted elsewhere, I recently got rid of 4 or 5 lids that didn't suit me well or fit very well. I'm down to 3 but looking to build up a quality collection. So you can say that I'm starting over!

I am forced to admit...

Someone else asked this question a while back. I answered something like 45 hats. I mentioned it to my wife and she called BS on me, and told me to count them. I'm a little redfaced to admit it's 82. But I swear I'm gonna sell about 2 or 3 dozen of them. Honest. No, really.

I only have five that I regularly wear (one Panama, three fedoras, a couple of newsboys), but I have a bunch from my hat collector days as a kid (30-40 years ago). These are mostly too small for me now, and/or too weird for general wearing (two top hats, pith helmet, deerstalker, hardhat, boater, coonskin, WWII flying helmet, Amish straw, etc.) So... I went for the 11-20.

Hey, Doc! I remember you from PH! Hope to see you around here!

 

[Doctor Strange]

I frequent all the best retro joints!

Lucky number 13

I hit 14 and that doesn't count ball caps. Like RedPop4, I'm a strong supporter of my alma mater - Washington State University. I think I have at least five WSU caps of various colors, all a variation of Crimson & Grey.

BTW, RedPop - I'm glad your purple and gold belongs to LSU, not that joint in Seattle.

 

[RedPop4]

Pilgrim, no sweat, us down here have an aversion to most of the PAC-10 Or at least a certain school where they wear maroon and gold.

Healthy respect for ASU, though, after the quick change on the Katrina game last season. Thanks for remembering, by the way.

 

[Tomasso]

A half dozen felt fedoras and a felt cowboy hat. The same in straw. A half dozen flat caps. Around twenty ball caps and a half dozen cycling caps.

 

[Pilgrim]

Thanks, RedPop. I have some good friends at LSU, having worked in the Land-Grant university system for 20+ years.

 

[Jake Sullivan]

alas........... only six

 

[RBH]

3 vintage Open Roads, 1 vintage Stratoliner, 3 'around the yard' felt fedoras, serveral straw fedoras and 3 or 4 western hats.

 

[funneman]

How many?

4-fedoras. Stetson,Dobbs, Lee, Resistol.
1-Open Road style Resistol
1-Tom Mix style Larry Mahan by Milano
1-straw Stetson
1-forties Stetson (Grandfather's)
1-eighties LBJ style Steton (Father's)

..so, 9.

But looking for a nice brown Knox or Mallory
with a brown ribbon and a two-inch brim in a
7 or 7-1/8.

You gents who are thinning your herds, please keep
me in mind?
