And I'm sure that we can agree that, once again, it feels like deja vu all over (and over) again.

...who the hell is gonna buy that HUGE Borso over on the Bay (Size 8).
OK, back on track..........who the hell is gonna buy that HUGE Borso over on the Bay (Size 8). Man, I never wished my head was any bigger than a 7 5/8 LO but that hat is beautiful!!!!

That was back in the days when the lounge was against collecting for historical interest...
Who could possibly be against collecting for historical interest?
I'll tell you who: the guy whose hat size is 6 7/8 and has just lost a hat auction to another guy (whose hat size is, say, 7 1/2) ... who bought the 6 7/8 hat for historical interest, not for wearing.

There's room for pure wearing and there's room for pure preserving/displaying/studying.
Know what I hate? I hate guys that buy a 100-year-old hat, then rip out the guts, re-do the sweatband, change the crease, cut down the brim, and put on a new ribbon just so they can wear it. So neyaaa!
If someone really wants the preserve something, exactly as it is, they need to buy it first.
And maybe so is every hat purchased by a hoarder? But that begs the question, when does a solid lineup of wearable hats become an "unreasonably" large collection?Every hat bought for collection or for re-sale is a deal that wasn't had by someone more "deserving".
A little perspective is in order, here.
