I figure that some of us wear hats everyday. When not wearing it, where do you keep it?
Do you leave it flat on the shelf?
Do You put it on a hat stand?(similar to the one on Hatsdirect)
Do you hang it off of a hook?
Do you put it in the box? (May take long after coming home from a hard day)
Which method would be best suited for storing the hat for daily wear without causing taper?

I said "hat stand" mainly because you chose the phrase "daily wear" in you question. The complete answer would be, I do all except putting it flat on a shelf.
Which ever hats are in my current daily rotation sit on a hat stand.
My two beaters hang on a coat rack hook.
Those not in current rotation are tucked away nice and snug in their boxes.
So, that's the long answer.

Nah the lamp is there specifically to hold the hat.Johnny Fedora wrote:Oh man, not while it's on I hope.Indiana Kev wrote:I just ordered a hat stand from Todd's, so I'll try it out. Right now the hat rests on my desk lamp.

Although I felt much better about it when the hat was my dp, now that its my AB I felt it was time to upgrade to a real hat stand.

What do you mean "When not wearing it"? I sleep and shower in mine.
Actually, when at work I hang it on my vintage coat rack. At home I place it in a hat rack I got from a western wear shop. It is wire and holds the hat upside down and off the crown. The hats that I am not wearing are kept in their boxes.

I put them upside down on a shelf! But, I put the ones I never wear on the bottom, so they take the most weight on their crowns. I stack them in piles of 3 - in the stack I have a hat from my great grandpa that's too big, a vintage Dobbs that I wear every once in a while (great hat!) and then my rabbit AB.
I have another stack of hats, but I never wear those... I don't know why I still have them! Maybe I should invest in a few hat stands??

Don't know about that I don't put my hats on hooks, but the hat stand is starting to look mighty tempting. Cheap and easy way to store a hat without doing any damage.IndianaSolo wrote:For those who put their hats on a rack, and have done so far a while, since we're talking about daily wear do you notice any distortions in the felt from hanging it on a rack?

The thing about hat stands is that they take up too much space. Im gonna have 4 hats and not enough shelf space. A hat rack can take care of the space problem but if it damages the hat, Id rather stack them.gabrielle wrote:Don't know about that I don't put my hats on hooks, but the hat stand is starting to look mighty tempting.

On the sweatband must you hang the hat that happening to prevent.IndianaSolo wrote:For those who put their hats on a rack, and have done so far a while, since we're talking about daily wear do you notice any distortions in the felt from hanging it on a rack?
My hat if I'm likely to wear on a hook I hang. The hat into its box I put if in storage for more than a day it is to be. On top of the box goes the hat if worn today it was. Brim up the hat must be placed.
