I think that is the difference between a "collector" and a "wearer."
A collector will buy ANY hat that fills a spot in his collection, regardless of its size. They want the hat as an example of a style, a model, a maker, a color, whatever.
But a wearer will pass up any hat that doesn't fit simply because he cannot use it.
When I first started doing this, I thought I might like to be a "collector." But I soon realized that I haven't the space to store such a collection nor the money to do it right. So, I retooled and decided to be a wearer and buy only hats I WOULD wear and COULD wear.
I sold off all the styles that don't look good on me and sold all the hats that don't fit me (but one). And now am restricting myself to my preferred styles and my size.
AAHHH, with age comes wisdom. Well said, MV.
