This is the newest addition to my collection of hats. It's a beaver skin top hat. I've owned a few top hats in the past, but this is the first beaver skin I've ever even seen in person.
I found this on eBay about a week ago. It was listed as 'early top hat' with a very vague description...
The people who stomped on my hat didn't do it to be funny. It was in their way and they were trying to get to their lockers. I lost my temper because I was so disgusted by their sheer disregard for another's property. I consider myself a pacifist. Ask anyone I know personally and they'll agree...
I thought about that too, until I inspected the sweatband. The back of the belt is sewn onto the hat with the same original stitches used to sew the sweatband in.
Thanks for the advice everyone (especially Bill!). There's no point at becoming aquainted with anyone in that class, or most of my classes. Nearly every student that was involved with trying to kill my hat is usually high on drugs or just so dim they don't realize anything. I don't want to be...
Out of all the hats I own, the one most dear to my heart has to be the brown fedora that I posted pictures of when I joined. A few weeks ago, I experienced the most disrespectful action toward a hat I have ever witnessed in my life. I'm in a ceramics class in high school in the morning and the...
That's beautiful!
I found something similar to this at the Salvation Army a few weeks ago (along with an incredibly ugly pinstriped fedora). I didn't buy it because it didn't have any labels inside. Pet peeve. *shrug*
I recently won this gray wide-brimmed fedora on ebay.

When it arrives I want to remove the band, dye it black, and add a white ribbon and feather.
What's the best kind of dye to use on a...
That's some nice work there! Very vintage looking.
I love altering things I find. I had an old collapsible silk top hat from 1910 that was pretty beat up and rough when I got it. After being handled by a million disrespectful non-hat-wearing students at my high school, the poor hat was...
I've heard of the Akubra Federation, but I was going to go with the Herbert Johnson Poet. I think the Adventurer would be my best (and least expensive) bet. I'll definitely be ordering one when my paycheck rolls in!
I wasn't too fond of the belt either when I got it, and I tried to remove it...
Hello everyone! My name is Andrea and I am a hat collector. I'm seventeen and have been collecting hats for the last 5 years. My first hat was a 1910 German collapsible silk top hat. I sold both of my top hats a while ago though and have been after one again. Right now I have a lot of peaked...
