And we were recently shocked to learn that some of our fellow bloggers can name only two or three men's hats. So we're here to promote greater hat literacy.
Men's millinery famously took a blow 49 years ago with the Inauguration of John F. Kennedy who opted not to be sworn in with a top hat. (A sad day in our book.) We are pleased that the hat has slowly been making a comeback.
Though we may never see the return to the heyday of great fedoras and perfect topcoats, at least one of the by products of Mad Men has been a rise in popularity of appropriate wearing of men's hats again. A fedora with ratty jeans and a skateboard? Please!
We don't have the time and space to give a full inventory of the hats here at the JunkPlex, but we thought we'd show you the tip of the iceberg.

Love-love your collection of hats, Mr. Thief. Do you know Billy Collins' poem Death of the Hat? You'd like it.
i like the next to last...hope you have a great theme thursday!
Its the man that makes the hat; not the hat that makes the man...you're quite the handsome dapper, my friend! Nice collection!
:) The Bach
as time permits you MUST model all of your hats and put together a special on junkTV!!!! if you like frank, perhaps i have just the soundtrack for you on the mouse today!
i can't decide which is my favorite! they are all so delightful!
long live hats!!
xxxxhappy tt
Willow - I don't know that Collins poem but will check it out.
Brian - I'm fond of it too. It's a bit harder to find.
Bachelor - I'm not sure I make the hats, or at least I certainly can't literally make one with needle and thread.
Mouse - A nice collection you have too. I like Frank, but also Phranc.
I decided to post the Collins post today, for TT. Pop over for a read! :)
very dapper, indeed. I need me a good hat.
Tom - Thanks and we appreciate the visit. I need a new head as well.
I like that you have a different background (almost)for every hat. The pork pie hat really doe make you look like a thief...a cat burglar.
i love phranc..... saw her back in the day!
hmmmm that gives me a tt idea....tupperware, think it will fly?
mouse - For all her tough girl veneer, Phranc has such a pure, gentle voice that I love.
Yes to Tupperware. Everyone has memories of it -- both good and bad.
