Ideas for displaying hats?

[jericos]

Hey guys!

I have a number of hats that I'd like to display. The ones I have are two from my dad from when he was sailing as an officer in WWII and my own academy, merchant marine, and US Navy officer hats.

The primary thing in displaying these would be that they don't get flat or otherwise deformed over time. I've been thinking about using model heads (like for wig display, etc.). Do you have any other ideas? The ones from my dad are pretty unique and I want to take really good care of them.

Thanks for any thoughts you might have. (And apologies if this isn't the right forum to ask this question. Just point me in the right direction and I'll move my post there.)

Cheers!

Eric

A hat rack.

Here are some that I found, the first three would support the hat from the crown and so shouldn't deform them over time and look rather cool too, the fourth would support them from the hat band and so shouldn't deform it over time either and I thin the mesh idea works looks quite good too. If you have a look around Google and places like Pinterest.com you should easily find some others if these aren't what you're looking for.

Hope this helps
