The Many Hats of Jason's Head

One thing nearly anyone who knows me at least a little well will know, is that I have a large variety of hats. I collect all sorts of hats, it may make me a bit odd or eccentric, but they are something I am both fascinated by and always eager to learn about and find more. I collect hats like some women collect shoes, and I have more than what are shown here, but these are all the different sorts I have for the moment. I wanted to present them here in a neat fashion and so I figured out a way I think looks really neat. Enjoy!
