Hat peg

[fredk]

The wire one looks like an old fashioned paper bills spike for a desk. The last one looks better.

I prefer a large area on the end of the arm for my hats to hang on. You used to get special hat hanging hooks which had a big ball on the end

A table tennis ball with a slot cut in it slipped over that arm would do the job. The t-t ball could be spray painted before fitting. It helps stop a crease or dinge forming in the hat material

The last one is obviously a lot more work but looks very classy.  The second one looks cheap and nasty (stamping is ok, but the wire.....not so much).

Not as much work as the Pinocchio ( skiving and wet forming ) but you are right about the looks . Good news is it didn't  take much to convert it .

 

@fredk  I remember my father had hooks like the one you posted .

 I like to hang my hats but I have heard it  is best to lay them crown down on a flat surface , I don't know  .
