Vinyl Record Collector Hats

Record collecting has an excuse for everything. A Vinyl Connection list of top-ten excuses for buying records includes "I haven't bought any records this month / this week / today / since lunchtime", "It fills a gap in the collection" and "Owning the CD doesn't really count". Positive Feedback's seven deadly sins of vinyl collecting adds that the correct number of records to own is however many you already have, plus one. The hobby is growing too: US vinyl revenue reached $1.04 billion in 2025, up 9.3%, the 19th straight year of growth, and Record Store Day 2026 on April 18 listed 350+ exclusive titles across nearly 1,400 US indie stores, with a Black Friday drop on November 27. These vinyl hats cover the badges (VINYL, RECORD COLLECTOR, RECORD STORE DAY, 33 1/3) and the lines the habit earns: warmer sound nobody can prove, a Kallax full of records and a problem, holding babies by the edges, and the B side being better. I HAVEN'T BOUGHT A RECORD SINCE LUNCHTIME comes straight from that excuses list and gets a second colorway, as does VINYL SOUNDS WARMER I CANNOT PROVE IT. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Give one to the collector in your life, or wear it to the next record fair.
