Anthony,
Look around at some craft stores and places that sell Christmas boxes You can find Round boxes that will fit you hats.

Thanks to all of you for some great ifno on how to store your hat. The biggist problem I have is none of my hats ever came with a box.

Hatless Jack by Neil Steinberg

Steinberg details the brief history and decline of the hat in men's fashion while debunking the "Kennedy killed the hat" myth.

Reply to Anthony Day;
Anthony the best way to store a hat for more than or a two a time is in the box it was purchased.
When your hat isn't on your head, as at work or home it should be placed
upside down on the crown as not to permanently change the brims curve or on a hook far enough from the wall to keep from misshaping the brim.

I think the decline of Western Civilization began in the 60s when men began to stop wearing hats ( thanks JFK). But remember same rules as a ball cap, even Indiana Jones took his hat off in doors. Even if it's a Fedora or an Irish tweed take it off as you open the door to enter.

I love manly hats. At present count (and off the top of my head, I'm at work so I can't see them right now) I have 10 or 11 different hats. Several trilbys, two fedoras (one crushable, one fur felt), a bowler, a couple of straw hats, a fur felt gray top hat, and a couple of ivy caps. Hands down the best place I have found quality hats for great prices is http://www.villagehatshop.com/ If you're in San Diego or Sacramento you can walk into their stores, otherwise the online shopping experience is superb. I can't say enough good things about what they sell, and they won't break the bank.

A trilby goes a long way, everyday, but there is something about a snap brim or pork pie with with a suit when heading to work. I have a wider brim Italian job that I leave the brim up on for more formal occasions. Someday a homburg will move into its territory. Fur felt has been my friend for most of life's encounters.

All I own is resistol hats. I love them. They keep the sun off your neck, keep the rain out of your shirt. If they get dirty, you can throw them on the ground, hose them off, and put them back on.

Gentlemen,
Glad to be here among the elite. I'm sure I will enjoy the visits and the sharing of the Hat world. I love hats. I believe "Hats" bring the essence of a mans character".
