Where do you store it?
I was wondering where you guys keep your fedoras when they're not on your heads, and if there's anything special I should do to protect my AB while I store it... (I keep it upside down in a felt/cardboard box to protect it from dust... that is, when its not on my head... :c)

I'm still waiting for my HJ to arrive, but I have a floor standing hat rack that some of my hats rest on. The hat rack sits near the front entry door, ready to accept a hat when I walk in, or give it up when I'm headed out the door. It is full up and overflowing right now, so maybe it is time for a new rack.

If they're not in current rotation, they sit in their respective hat boxes. But I have a "nook" with a couple of shelves I let several hang over. It almost looks like a mini hat shop! The "fedora of the day" usually sits on top an old radio in the living room, so it's easy to grab on nthe way out the door or to Jerry's liqour cabinet.

On top of a bookshelf, I have two hat boxes with three hats! -A Montecristi shares a box with a straw, but they get along very well in there. My vintage Borsalino is in its vintage Borsalino box on top and my gray Adventurebilt is on top of that.
Then, on top of my Hemingway bookshelf, I have my vintage body Adventurebilt on top of a reproduction of an old Cathedral radio. My green and tapered Federation is next to it.
On top of a little treasure box on top of another bookshelf is my brown Adventurebilt, the one that goes on all of my adventures with me.
Today, to the office, I wore my vintage Adventurebilt and it is sitting on top of my credenza.

Presently, anywhere I can find room. My Einsteinia collection and my wife's witch collection takes up most of our available space.
Since I am new to the hobby, I don't own much except the outfit. Now I need to concentrate on some artifacts.
Sorry, I misread the question. My fedora is on a coat tree.
Best regards,
Prof. Ed

Witch Collection. Nothing of the Halloween variety. Wizard of Oz, Dr. Rev. Tom Clark's witches, many pewter witches ie: witches from Macbeth, a witch riding a Hoover, Disney witches, etc.binkmeisterRick wrote:Hey, Prof., did you say "witch collection" or did you mean "watch collection?" Either way, collecting witches sounds interesting. Do they eat much? (Seriously, what would such a collection entail?)

A very nice collection. Just a strange one.
Best,
Prof. Ed

Having the family of the Goblin Nation from my bloodline, bink, I'm sure you can figure out what I was talking about.
Ok...ON with the topic....
I keep one hat out at a time, though I rotate through my collection as the weather and season dictates....the one in use is kept on a halltree my late father-in-law made, and the rest in their respective boxes in storage in my closet....each marked with what hat is in it.
Regards! Michaelson

I keep them either on a hat stand or in the box they came in.

I found this neat little old globe out in my garage today. I was told it use to belong to my grandfather.

I thought it looked really cool. so I dusted it off and now Its where I place my fedora when Im not wearing it, which is very rare. Now when my fed isnt on top of my head its on top of the world.

Enjoy!

I used to hang my AB on a double hook on the wall of my room, but I got leery of the possiblity of a bump forming in the felt. Since then I've started laying it on the dresser with the front edge of the brim hanging off to preserve the downward turn, which I like to keep in the median between the Raven Bar and Cairo looks.
