The new guy...

Just found this forum by accident through a websearch last night... I'm an avid hat collector here in western Canada, Calgary to be exact... Yesterday at a local collectable show I acquired a vintage Dobbs long oval, one made in Canada by license... I am now well over 10 hats in my personal collection, all of them must fit because I wear them! Never leave the house without a good hat on... Anyway, I'm off for the day, just a quick post to say "Hi!"

And I spend much of my spare time taking photos, always wear a good hat... It might be a fedora, it might be a cowboy hat, or something in between as long as it has a brim on it...

Welcome to the forum! Looking forward to seeing pics of your collection.

I only have two or three hats that are true vintage, the rest are more recent, I only purchase locally... I don't have a hit list of specific ones I'm looking for, just what I find in my travels, I have purchased some through a flea market I frequent quite often...
