Title: Hat Rack(s)
Post by: Old Hippie on February 05, 2016, 09:50:00 am
I need a place to hang our assortment of hats: ball caps and Stetsons.
I would like to take down a couple of the original wall lamps and replace with some kind of wall mounted rack.
Any ideas on what I could use that would cover the existing hole of the lamps.

In the interim, your Rosen visors can double as hat shelves when not moving.  Arrange them so the visor is horizontal like a shelf and pulled down a few inches.  That's where we keep our golf hats (ball caps and Head n' Home Breeze and Cabana).

yes Michelle's idea is really a good place and having seen it personally I would do that too if I wore a hat. Neat tidy and out of way while parked for a time.

I hang my ball caps on the cabinet knobs, but you wont hang a Stetson there.

OH, we have two of the four hook swivel coat and hat hooks in the BR.  Sturdy, hang your jeans, shirt and hat in one spot.  They are availabe in different  finishes but you have to hunt. The three hook ones work well too and they're available in a variety of finishes.  I have seen these cheaper but you get what you pay for about 20 bucks seems to be the going rate for a decent one.

My favorite store Amazon.  There are many other choices and styles for swivel coat and hat hooks.

Amazon.com: Deltana TSH40U10B 4-Inch Projection Heavy Duty Triple Swivel... (http://amazon.com/Deltana-TSH40U10B-4-Inch-Projection-Triple/dp/B0042FHFY8/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1454689067&sr=8-14&keywords=Swivel+coat+an+hat+hooks)

Amazon.com - Belwith Keeler 4 7/8" Solid Brass Swivel Coat And Hat Hook... (http://amazon.com/Belwith-Keeler-Solid-Swivel-Polished/dp/B000RPZHGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454689067&sr=8-1&keywords=Swivel+coat+an+hat+hooks)

These are nice, they do not rattle and fold flat to the wall. If you spend some time shopping you might find a better price.

Michelle that's a wonderful solution.  I was not smart enough to think of that.  Implemented.  :D

Old Hippie, I have no idea where I got it but I always carried a western wide brimmed hat with me when traveling. Mine came from The Jackson Hole Hat Co, custom made, a la Sam Houston. Somewhere in my travels, I acquired a spring loaded wire hat holder designed to secure a western (Stetson) style hat to the ceiling of  pick-up truck. Would suggest searching truck accessory sites online.
If all else fails,mine is probably still attached to the ceiling in the shirt closet of my coach on consignment at MOT. They might negotiate a deal.

We installed a train rack in the bedroom that gives us storage for bathrobes, hats, etc. Also, we use the sconces in the living room for the kids' hats! :D
