Got my new wire racks hung up finally. Series of 7 over my bed, two by the door. Still need another seven...or eight...or probably more.

 

[Michaelshane]

I display them one at a time on my head.
And like this.....

Mine stay in their boxes when they aren't being worn. Too many cat hairs around, and I'm afraid of moths!

Justin, I do believe you're a poet, though you may not knowit.

LOL. Hadn't noticed actually.

I have started putting some hats on the wall that I am wearing most. It has freed up space by letting me put some boxes outside into storage. What I am using is command hooks. They are movable and you don't have to make any holes. I wish I would have done this a long time ago.

 

[Phineas Lamour]

I need another hat rack. Or just a bigger one.

 

[HatsEnough]

I do not display my hats at all. I keep them in hat boxes. Sealed up to prevent dust.

Here's how I'm displaying the Bartonelli that I have in the classifieds:

Built a hat rack a couple of weeks ago....saw one on the net that I liked......went to the shop with some oak, pine, a couple of saws, some screws, and the help of a buddy. Only have half of it filled........

It's pretty heavy....haven't hung it yet.

Finally have it filled:

(Perhaps the monstrous hat stand didn't get any love due to its . . . well, I don't really know. It's the only one of its kind on this planet, and positively exudes all things vital. Sigh. Just me, I guess.)

Here's my latest effort. I poured a rubber mold of this frog vase i found. The frog you see is cast concrete, and what elevates the hat is a piece of copper tubing with a clear-coated tee fitting (for weight distribution of the hat). Nice and weighty so it won't topple if someone slams a door. I can make a few thousand more, so if this creature appeals to you, speak up.

Oh, and the hat is an unspeakably awesome 50's Royal Stetson I got from Josh.

Finally have it filled:

Raider, that's a nice design. I like how the platforms also serve to keep the hats in form, shrink-free. Are they accurate enough to preserve the hats' size? I see they are bevelled . . .

I think I gave away all my vintage boxes... just were starting to pile up. I have the hats randomly hung or stacked in various places in the house.
