So if “all my hats” doesn’t imply that I have at least one hat, “some of my hats” doesn’t imply it either; otherwise we wouldn’t be able to derive “some” from “all”.

Hence, “some of my hats are green” doesn’t imply that “at least one of my hats is green”. That’s a claim that contradicts both traditional formal logic interpretation and common sense English interpretation.
