anyone collect fedoras?

About 15 years ago when my grand father was still around, he would always go to the local vets lodge and play poker. he'd always wear some kinda suit (seer sucker typically) and always have a fedora on his head. when he passed on he left them all to me. i only wear one once in a while (minus the suit) but get funny looks from people. does anyone else collect or still wear them? mind you i'm only 27 so i guess that's why i get those looks. i wish they hadn't of gone out of style. i think they really compliment certain outfits quite nicely. gonna watch indiana jones (new one) tonight and it just got me thinking about this.

I have a few, and wear one nearly every day.

I'm always on the lookout, but I have a massive cabasa.

I enjoy wearing hats. Don't wear caps so I have a variety of others, some of which are fedoras.
