At LIDS, we live and breathe all things headwear.  If you’re like us, you can’t imagine a day going by without a cap on your head.

There are like-minded spirits that share our passion for headwear and when we called out to the universe searching for the Ultimate Hat Collectors, it’s safe to say we found our people. Sure, most people like hats, but only a select few can reach the pinnacle of cap appreciation that our finalists did in this year’s Ultimate Hat Collection Contest.

8 Signs that You’ll Only Understand if You’re Slightly Obsessed with Hats

1. Your team loyalty runs so deep you must buy that new hat that looks almost identical to the six others you have at home, because reasons.

2. You can’t resist the urge to spell things out with your caps. You have enough hats to spell out an S.O.S distress call if needed.

3. You haven’t seen your bed in months.

4. You can’t decide which hat to wear to the game, so you just bring a few options along. Just in case.

6. You’ve spent an incredible amount of time shopping for the perfect hat. No regrets.

7. You talk about the “hat community” and have scoured the globe to find the perfect cap to complete a collection.
