Ultimate Hat Collection Finalist: @BigRahb918

And you thought you had a lot of hats…

For the past two months we’ve been scouring the Internet looking for the next  Ultimate Hat Collection. After analyzing all of the epic entries (seriously, check out #UltimateHatCollection on Instagram), we’ve chosen eight finalists to battle it out for the title of LIDS Ultimate Hat Collector – 2018! In this blog we are highlighting one of our UHC competitors, Robert Pierce AKA @BigRahb918.

“My name is Robert Pierce. I’m 31 and from Tulsa, Oklahoma or as I call it “Driller City”. I began collecting hats during my senior year in high school, although my father saved most of my childhood sports and boy scout caps as mementos and I still have them to this day. You could say he helped spark this obsession.”

More about Robert

“I am currently an Assistant Store Manager with Lids which allows me to not only showcase my knowledge that I have gained daily with customers but also to add new layers like knowledge of embroidery, design, and the market in general. It sounds utterly bizarre, but to me hats serve as a time portal. If I see a hat with Show White, Is think of watching it with my Grandma or if I see a St. Louis Cardinals or a Tulsa Drillers hat I think of playing catch with my Dad.
My girlfriend and family may say I’m addicted to hats but I would say I’m addicted to nostalgia. I don’t count my hats but I do know I have well over 300, whose origins stretch across the globe and allowed me to have make friends with several people that if it weren’t for collecting I would have never met, and that in its self is far more valuable than my entire collection and motivates me to continue not only collecting hats but help others who have the same passion. #TeamFitted
