I only purchased one hat in 2022, a Gannon. I commissioned a Camel beaver with a Cattleman crease. The measurements are custom and inspired by the LBJ and Open Road.

Some really pretty hats on display there, Bill, but that blue heather one is a strong contender for the hat of the year award. What a beauty!

Back again this year by popular demand.
Show all the hats you purchased last year. My own will have to wait until I get back to Japan.
Happy New Year, everyone!!
I think you've started a new tradition here, Gary (if such a thing is even possible). I'm all for it and I am working on my inventory right now. Not as many as last year, but still a good amount. I'll post them tomorrow.
 
I'll skip the 163 hats bought to resell and just list the keepers (those that fit and a few I just like -- in order of purchase).
