How do you store your hats?

Post by Sheepdog »

My hat "collection" has grown to four hats.

Now I need a way to store them. I would like them to be visible but out the way. Maybe on the wall?

Any ideas?

i have these plastic hat stands. I put the hat on them and then on top of my book shelves. I'll try and take some shots when I get a chance.

I also use the plastic hat stands. They're cheap and work great.

You should always store hats upside down. This helps to prevent taper. I suggest one of these. It can hold two hats (though I've seen some that hold more), and has two pegs for maybe a jacket or a whip. I have something similar that sits on a desk.

If you really want to display your hat right side up you should get something like this. If they ask what it is, tell them that is what happened to the last person who messed with your hat.

I don't know. I found it here. I guess you could look for a real skull in your size, but that would be really creepy.

I just prop my fedora on top of a baseball cap. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doing that would not affect the brim, since the cap isn't touching the brim... It also should keep the crown intact, since it isn't in contact with any surface either...

It's easy, it's cheap, and it works. Sure it doesn't look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kids ;)
