Nice explanation, cheng. Your hats look great, especially with that white headpiece under them.

usually such hats are displayed hanging flat on the wall but you kept yours in a cupboard or box?

ok bb, no hurry..if it takes too long, just email the pic to me later

It's my mom's so I'm not sure exactly where it is. I'm sure it is either displayed or very carefully stored though.
