    I got a blue one, a dark gray one, and a black one. The black one doesn't fit super well though so I hardly ever wear it. I also have 2 patch hats. One is pretty nasty and I tried dishwasher and washing machine treatment in one of those hat cages. Neither got it completely clean and made it look nasty. The other patch hat is fairly new and I mostly don't wear it. I have a TRD patch that looks like a MLB logo with a Tacoma and a 'Ugandan Knuckles: Follow me Bruddahs, I no De Wey' patch :rofl:

    I can’t stand wearing a hat after washing it, they don’t feel right. I’ve tried them cage things and dishwasher. I wear them until they nasty then chunk em.

    Yeah, I like being frugal, so I tried... Plus you kinda get attached to a hat that fits well that you like.

    Depends if it was inbound Shipping damage file a claim with the shipper then sell the product discounted .

    Before Miller Closed the Swedesboro Nj warehouse (to small) we had 2 employees that just fixed freight damage claims .

    I wear winter hats(fleece) when it is cold and when I am spending awhile outside. I like the look of baseball caps, just don't like the feel of them so I never wear them.

    I recently learned a new way to wash hats that's non damaging to them.

    I put a plastic bin in the bathtub and add a laundry pod and a squirt of Dawn dish soap and then fill t with warm water. Toss in the hats and let them soak for at least 15 min, then dump out the plastic bin and rinse off each hat and hang it up to dry. Seems to work pretty well.. especially for the white hats I wear to work.

    My dishwasher doesn't have a top rack or bottom rack and the pump is questionable...

    It's an older model, slow & cranky but fairly reliable.

    I've tried every way possible to wash hats, and its not for looks, its for the stink...they're ok for about one day and then the sweat smell comes right back. Now I squirt a bit of cologne in them (for my smelling pleasure, not others:)) and roll on about my business. But not my hunting hats :eek::eek::eek:
    Cant let the whitetails smell my good cologne :eek:
