Old hats; shoot, bury, burn or keep?

[Former Member]

I've got a bunch of old hats that I just never seemed to get rid of. Sometimes the older they get, the better they fit. Unfortunately, my wife wont let me wear the real old ones that have holes in them out in public. She won't even let me wear therm in the house.

This is one I got from aerial pixel. It's probably 2 or more years old, has been worn about a 1000 times and washed probably half that many. Still holding up but the wife is getting a little sheepish about letting me wear it. I only wear it when she's not watching now.

Hats off, pun intended, to Ariel pixel for making a durable product

What would you do? Shoot it? Bury it? Burn it? Wear it?

Yeah, oddly all of my shirts tend to "shrink" around the holidays

I always tell my wife my shirt has shrunk, but she just points to my gut and smirks.

I would hang it in my mancave, put a peg on the wall in the workshop or garage or wherever you do your repairs. Hang them all up along the rafters. Each one has a story to tell

You are supposed to put that BallCap thingy on the top rack of a dishwasher, It was never intended to go in a regular washing machine
