In light of a recent discussion in this subforum about Tilley hat collections, I decided to do an inventory and… well, I can’t decide if I should feel accomplished or… perhaps like I should be seeking out some psychiatric help. i currently own twenty (20) Tilley hats! Now, before I am judged too harshly for my excess, 5 of these hats, ( 4x T1’s and 1x T3) are way too small for me. I have collected them for… well, various reasons. lol. The remaining 15 hats represent a range of (wearable) sizes from 7 5/8 to 8 and include 4x Winter models, 4x LT models and 7 cotton duck models, T1’s, T4’s and T5’s. Chances are, I will be re-homing a few of my larger hats as 7 7/8 is a touch too large for me. If so, I will post them here first. All that said, my collection will NOT be complete until I find myself an T2 and an LTM2 as near in size to 61.5cm as possible and affordable. If I can figure out a way to take a photograph of all of my Tilleys, I will post one. ALRIGHT! Now the challenge is on! Confess your hoarding sins and describe your Tilley collection, if you dare!

Thank you! The qualitative difference between 11 and 15 is negligible and thus we are obviously kindred hoarders. Who better to obsess over the minutiae of ancient hats than goofballs like us. Lololol im beginning to think about how to organize and store my Tilley collection for tidiness and ease of access. Trouble is, collection of all the various political campaign themed headgear (been knocking on doors while wearing partisan hats since 1976 and saved them all) already takes up a fairly large chunk of the area designated to hat hoarding. Im considering building some sort of hat tree, probably wall mounted, that will succeed in holding what I hope to be a limit of 20-ish Tilleys. Don’t get me started on the various, non-Tilley, hats that I wear to court. I’m not counting them at all! Would love to see some examples of how people keep the Tilley hats when they are not on our heads. d

I've been using 3M command hooks and storing them on the wall and dresser. Hanging on their wind cords. That doesn't work for the Winter hats. Maybe we need a new thread on Hat storage? LOL
