Why Hats?
In addition to swords, I have collected quite a few hats. Mostly from visiting various places but a few have been purchased with specific intent.
Why Hats?
You know how when you go on vacation, you want something to remember the trip by (besides the pictures and slides and your depleted bank account)? Well, instead of collecting matches (since I don't smoke), or mugs (since I don't drink coffee), I thought I'd try hats (since I do have a head!)
Anyway, as I began collecting hats from places I'd been I thought it might be nice to have a 'real hat' for some of the special occasions that have occurred. So, when I went to a formal '20's party, I bought a Top Hat for my costume. When I went to Orlando and spent the day in the sun, I bought a Pith Helmet, and so forth.
I started to realize it was getting out of hand when I couldn't find a place to hang a new sword I got and everywhere, on every horizontal surface (and some vertical ones) there were hats. So here they are ->
As I said, you can't see them at my place anymore (except a very few of them) so enjoy them here.
