Max, you need to get that for your hat room. Seriously. :cool:
I want to make it more like Optimo's showroom, Doug.
Like this, but with glass doors.

The photos won't load and if like to
Here's my rig with all my hats minus my WW homburg and Knox top hat which are on hat stands next to my desk, across from this unit.
At some point I owned about 120 but now I'm happily settled with 29 (actually 30 as there is one on its way which will go in the last remaining hook beneath the panama :D )

Do you have any Towncraft fedoras? I bought one on ebay the other day and it looks great in the photos.


Not to mention straws nor any international brands excepting Biltmore & Borso, here is my (less than comprehensive, I am sure) minimum list;

Firstly, I gotta touch all the iconic Stetson bases

Open Road
Whippet
Stratoliner
*******
7x
Nutria
BOTP
Railbird
Flying V
No. 1 quality
100
Springaire
Zephyr weight
Raw Edge Boss
a Vita-Felt of some sort
Three Way
Stetsonian

Dobbs
Game Bird
Rainbow
Westward
The *** Prince
Hanover Square


Knox
Tom & Jerry
Foxhound
Vagabond
Westlite
Fifth Avenue



Lee
Waterblock
Adventurer

Borsalino
Alessandria

At least one from the following manufactuers:
Disney
Resistol
Byer-Rolnick
Mallory
Cavanagh
Knapp
Stack
Adam
Biltmore
Akubra
Portis
Marathon
Swan


That's all I can come up with off the top of my head.
Tell me what I am lacking (Brand or Model) above to make a more comprehensive collection of felts!
I am not that many away from attaining all on this list.
But I know I have missed something(s)

You're replying to posts that are 8+ years old, and from members who haven't posted anything in 3+ years. Not saying you won't get a response, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

Unfortunately, many old pictures are lost to obscurity as the links are broken. Instead of uploading directly to the site pics were linked to third party platforms (such as Photobucket).

Well…@drmaxtejeda, it’s been 2yrs 3mo+ since your “solemn swear” last hat safe.
In Max hat time there must be a couple hundred more, minimum, hats to house. But dónde??

Since you are retired, congratulations by the way, no patients would be un-dentisted by your absence.
Perhaps a pictorial tour is in order??

Suggestions would be a safe by safe pictorial or better yet a video visit with your commentary.
I have to believe you have one special safe for the unicorn hats.

I doubt i’m the only inquiring mind here at the lounge so let’s all encourage Max to bring us coveting dreamers up to speed on probably the best hat collection in the world.

We haven't hablado’d in awhile, we should catchup, possibly this weekend??

Many thanks for the suggestion! Mine came in today. Almost the same but mine doesnt have the spot for a hat up top center. That should be simple to make. Need to do some sorting so I can get all the summer hats on it so that theyre easier to grab. Much better option than stacking hats all over the dining room! And I still have space left for more hats!
