Cool!deanstuff said:I plan on building a custom case to display my hats this summer, but being impatient I just bought this hat rack until then. Fortunately I have a "Man Cave" and space to put it in. It can be set up to hold 24 hats, but I found the racks were tooclose together when all 6 levels were in place. I have it set up to hold 16 (just part of my collection), but I may re-drill the holes to provide for a spacing that will allow me to get 5 levels in comfortably.
The hats hang on rounded wire hangers, so the weight is distributed evenly across the width of the hat; however, I will likely wrap the sire in foam or pipe type insulation to provide more padding, make them more slip resistant and reduce the risk of dents. For now, I think this will work.
Good idea!! Maybe my wife will put a present under my hat tree. Gee. I wonder what she should get me. I Know!!! A Hat.indycop said:Cool!

Where did you get these and what is the make?

Not to be critical, but to be helpful; the samurai sword replicas on your cabinet are displayed the way many people do it, but they are, in fact, upside down. The traditional way is to have them bow upwards. The concept is respect for the edge of the blade which is to be honored by facing up. Hope you don't mind me sharing this with you - and nice hats!!

How wide is that hallway? I've been considering doing something similar, but our hall is kind of narrow and I'm afraid the hats would get knocked down easily.
