Alan, I like the foam idea a lot.
When I was a teenager, I learned a bit of hat terminology, tips on hat care, shaping, etc. from a woman who owned and ran a hat restoration shop. Every time I brought in a hat, she would show me a few handy things.
When I see pics online of hats w a dark ring around the crown, above the ribbon, I know they were stacking sweaty hats. Thanks for showing a few of your vintage hats, and a great method to preserve them a bit better.

Beautiful, Splintcz!

You should be wildly proud to have such a great collection at this point. And thanks for your best wishes to the girls!

When do you leave for basic training?

Holy moly, Justin! Quite the fine collection growing collection. Nice to see that such a large percentage is on the older side. Very classy, man!

OfCourse... SWEET collection my friend! Keep up the good work.

For those of us wondering about how many hats we own... a psychologist friend told me I was FINE with the thirty-something hats in my meager collection. That's a professional opinion, though; not a wife's...

This reminds me - I've often wondered how Robert stores his collection....I'm certain he's renting a hangar from O'Hare ;)

G; Ditto's on the NOT FOR SALE sign! You tree has an enviable harvest of fine fruit! Fine hats and of excellent condition. I do like the way you can see them and make a selection on a whim.

Best, Eric -
