EBay mainly...There's even some that I've bought off EBay that have come from (Posted) your side of town (England) to mine. (Australia)

A splendid collection. I have two pith helmets - one should never be without a pith helmet  ;) - and would like a fez.

Great collection. I have a few hats myself.

A fez. A fez. My kingdom for a fez... I asked a friend who was going to Turkey to get me a fez and he got me one - Hand made directly from the markets at Ankara. It's a bit wonky and has obvious hand stitching. An absolute original for a cost of next to nothing (apart from his airplane tickets I suppose  ;D).

That's what we need, a forum dedicated to gamer hats.

Thanks all for the great comments.

Helmets\Hats..add to the flavor of the game. Mine all have a unique story attached to each and every one of them. The one concerning the fez haunts me to this day in that the girl who was selling it on ebay, had an old Chinese Fu Manchu type original that was listed the same time as the Fez, and I let it go. The story goes that her Grand dad picked both up in his early travels. I kick myself for not buying that hat because I haven't seen one listed that old since. You could smell the opium den just from looking at it on the Ebay pic.

My copy of Perilous Island arrived today, so I've been busy packing useful items to join you all there. I'm off to the Steamship Office in a minute to purchase first-class tickets. Magnums of champers and food hamper ordered from Fortnum & Mason!

Lord Snapcase, you appear quite well equipped, however, I would pack more ammo and larger guns. Perilous Island is said to be home to monstrous beasts.

That's great, Snapcase! You have an awesome collection there. It looks like you have everything else covered, so I'll just pack the sandwiches!  lol lol

The only weapon I need for the journey to Perilous Island, my ugly mug!

Don't I look like a proud papa?
