Hopefully he means he wants to increase his hat collection speed.Isn't that an ongoing thing, anyway?

If he ever held a sell-off I would show up in DC with my life savings and a moving van.Maybe, but he's been moving pretty fast for quite a while. haha

I am extremely happy with the hats I got from Moon. Extremely proud.I am very happy with the grail hat I got from moon, and I'm done for a while.

Steven's hats are European, and they give me the same kind of envy I feel when I see a guy hit a 350 yard drive down the middle of the fairway.
And I am just starting out in this hat thing...

We could still steal them and set up an online "Brent & Max's closet". Wonder what it's like to be chased by Interpol.If Steven or Stefan had a 7 5/8 head I’d be planning a little grand theft. Actually, your working yourself onto that list with all you recent acquisitions.
I say I’m ready to thin down, and I do like the idea of it, but I bought one on eBay today, commissioned another custom yesterday and I’m on the fence with ordering another, and two hats are in New York going through customs. My “thinning the herd” is actually limiting growth to 2-6 hats a month.

If I find the encyclopedia of lost in time production processes, will you trade it for your Hückel clipper?I was having some fun. I will speed up and I will slow down as usual. Also my interest goes beyond just the hats. I am just as interested in finding an old book that contains lost in time production processes.
The search begins.Ok sounds good.
great to see you MichaelAnthony--same for me. I've unloaded about 40 hats over the last year and a half, keeping the thin and mid-ribbons that fit me well. I have about 15 or so keepers and a few beaters. The money went to guitars. The wife is asking questions again, but she likes hearing music, so I suppose I'm good.
I have been contemplating being "done" with my collecting for about a year now. For me the fun of collecting is discerning which style/colour/age of hats are the most appealing to me. I never set out to accumulate a room full of hats.....however that is what I have accomplished and along the way discovered in real time my likes and dislikes. So now that I have about one of every colour/style/era I set out to accumulate there makes little sense to me to continue merely to duplicate or triplicate that which I already have in the collection. There are def hats that I wear regularly and those that are neglected in the closet but I do enjoy owning them SO I am not quite ready to pare the collection down just yet but I am pretty much done with the hunt. Makes me quite sad actually! Going through what Moon just did gives me the shivers....sort of a Sophie's Choice only with fedoras and not children.If Steven or Stefan had a 7 5/8 head I’d be planning a little grand theft.

Just posted this in the What Hat Are You Waiting For Today thread, but I thought it was relevant to this one, so I am copying it here.
Happy, happy.
I just bought this vintage Hardeman.
It was on Moon's Instagram page, and I thought it was one of the hats that I couldn't get from his sell-off, and I was a little put out about it. It was different, because of the texture.
I guess Moon must have sold it before, because I saw it on eBay and clicked on the "Buy it Now" button, without placing a bid. I didn't want to run the risk of it escaping me a second time.
Now I just have to track down the other 130 hats that got away.

Me too.Just shy of 200...and they just keep following me home....I have decided to increase my collection.
When I say to myself, looking at two closets full of hats, and a dozen boxes just as full, it's time to finish it, usually I find some new hat that interests me. Also this summer went like this, despite my goodwill .....I was having some fun. I will speed up and I will slow down as usual. Also my interest goes beyond just the hats. I am just as interested in finding an old book that contains lost in time production processes.
That hat is worthy of being considered a Holy Grail hat.Just posted this in the What Hat Are You Waiting For Today thread, but I thought it was relevant to this one, so I am copying it here.
