I’ve not counted my hats, lately. I have everything from beaver-fur fedoras, hombergs, etc., to fine Panamas. Everything in-between. 70, maybe? I had racks installed that will hold 60 but I’m looking at 15-16 on my dresser just now.

My problem is overspending!
I guess you're referring to the guayaberas.
In a trip to Panama, I had ten custom made for me. My sleeve is too short.
Embroided linen in solid colors. Some with pockets, some without.
I also have 6 of the authentic ones in linen with the four pockets, no embroiding, just the classic pleats.
BTW, guayaberas were never made in short sleeve. I should know. I don't have any.
But hey, to each its own.

I have a replica of the hat used in the original Superfly movie. Purple with the cheeta band. My favorite. Head turner.
Of course, I also have the suit to match. Same lapel. Bell bottoms.
And, you guess it, the shoes. And the rest of the accesories.
Great for custom parties.

Well, I'll let you be now. Enjoy your stuff and keep spending.
We can't take it to the grave.
