I think I have every hat I ever wanted -- four custom made fedoras, a black open road, a green selentino, an Akubra Federation and Campdraft, two vintage Borsalinos.

Plus some cowboy hats -- a Stetson "Gus," a Rand cowboy hat, an open crown Bailey I have yet to have styled, may go for a Tom Mix look.

Can't think of a darned thing. Oh, I don't have a Stratoliner. So, maybe a Stratoliner. With one of those little airplane pins in it.

My choice would be different from day to day.
Right now I'd probably take about a 30X Stetson Cowboy hat or custom fedora. I have a big head so I would like ANY vintage hat, too. But that ain't gonna happen I'm afraid....

Hard to choose...

It would either be a lightweight, vintage Borsalino in a light beige, or a nice old Strat in silverbelly, with the pin and original box.

I think I'll go with the USA... gimme the Strat!

Right now, I'm pretty happy with the hats I have.
One "Stetson 100" OR style (with Optimo for restoration)
one 1940 Nutria 6-inch variable-at-will-crown-bash Kettle Raw Edge silverbelly Stetson Philladelphia cowboy hat (at local hatter),
one Stetston 20 OR style (at local hatter)
four Borsalino's (all ladies hats, I understand [huh] ),
three other cowboy hats of variable qualities (Bailey, Beaver Hats and Justin),
and a german Mayser homburg
Now if I could collect the most important ones from various hatters busy sewing new sweatbands in... lol In fact, my best hats are out of house!

And...STOP PRESS...awaiting delivery of a Montecristi hat from PB (I hope it gets here before our holidays in Portugal and Spain, very end august).

Hats galore!
What else would I like? I don't rightly know.
Maybe some "plantation" style from the deep south? In any case, quality would have to be tops. Some Humphry Bogart type hats, large american gangster style, appeal to me, too.
The hats would have to be American!
