Show us your 2021 hats

[Steve1857]

I'm not a collector, so I don't buy hats I can't wear. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Very wise. Best to stay away from that rabbit hole :-/

Yes, especially since I already have more hats (and caps) than I can reasonably wear.

I'm taking a short cut here, Gary.

Show it to Etsuko and tell her how lucky she is

I had just convinced myself that I needed to quit buying hats....maybe just one more....

I'm with you, they must fit. I would like to get my hat habit under control really. I should start selling some hats, maybe get down to about 10 that I really like. The problem is every time I start to sort some out to sell, well it just doesn't work!

Great idea for a new thread. I'll have to check back on the hats I picked up in 2021 and post them soon. I think it was probably the most lucrative hat year so far.

Still waiting, Steve!

Patience, Gary, patience. I'm working on it

Here you go, Gary @The Shoe
Better late than never

I must admit, I was a bit shocked myself to see how many there were. I think I've forgotten a couple of Facebook Market Place finds, too.

Lesson learnt though: I'm going to make a note of hats bought in 2022.

That’s a spectacular haul!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I see three toppers in there and five bowlers. Is that a boater at the back? Was that your only straw?

Well spotted, Hawkeye

I think I'm missing a boater and a couple of toppers or two.

I located the other boater. Picked this one up in February 2021. Interesting history this one. Seems to have been made in Italy, then came to a hat store in Denmark via an establishment in London.

Wonderful bon ton ivy stitched sweatband. Fits like a dream. Ca. 1920s/30s

Hat porn of the highest quality, Steve. They're even on the bed. Invokes the feelings of excitement, jealousy and giddyness in equal measure.

Thanks Stefan. Hoped you spotted quite a few of your finds among the porn ;-)

Gary (@The Shoe) -- when is this year's thread starting? On the 1st?

Yes, but an early (NZ time) January first.
Don’t expect my meagre hall up until I get back to Japan, however.

 

[Steve1857]

I've been preparing for this Gary challenge since January this year. I've written in my diary every time I bought a new hat.

However, the challenge is, finding where I've put them
