Sorry if this is not relevant, but I have a question. I have now acquired 4 hats from Benchcraft Hatters from NY, what is the best way to store these in order to have access to them? I wear a different hat almost each day and do not want to place them in boxes. Are their racks to buy like in stores? head models?

JUST won a hat I've been looking for...a Statson Zephyr weight in loden green. 2 1/4" brim (which is about the minimum I will buy) and 5" crown. I'll have the crown set in a pinch-front, and that will bring it down an inch or so.

This is the photo from the auction, so it's nothing special.

Here's the auction...just concluded a couple of minutes ago. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230569119276&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

Pinch on the rear with a right hand bow. Gee, I wonder if the seller had ANY clue it was backwards? I think it will be a lot nicer than you are expecting.

I started out the day in my trusty ol' Akubra Campdraft...

and come evening time I was wearing my new pure beaver, lightweight Buckaroo Hatters fedora:

There's a great western hat, too, but I don't yet have a good picture of it.

That Buckaroo Hatters fedora is one great looking lid. Your Campdraft is also a looker. I purchased my bluegrass green Campdraft after viewing yours on the forum. That green is so unique and it is very hard to capture its true shade in a photo. Depending on the lighting it can appear light, medium or dark green. I love this hat. Fedoras are uncommon where I live and I am confident that my Campdraft in Bluegrass Green is as elusive as Bigfoot up here in the Great White North.

That's a nice tall crown/short brim '30s style Fedora !! Not used to seeing such a short brim on you :)

Don't know how I missed this one. I really like it. It is nice to see some variety, and this is a sharp hat. It also seems the most formal of what you have, which fills a gap created by the campdrafts.
