Durng his long career, Pate and his wife Clarine Pate, obtained a large colleciton of personal clothing and articles belonging to numerous entertainers.

This suede and silver coin "concho" hat was given to a venue employee by Jimi Hendrix. According to the employee he traded it with a few other items for some "personal stuff" that Jimi needed. Later, Pate was able to purchase the hate from the crew member for his collection, and it has been in the Pate collection since that time.
