Naw, Mack, throw it in with the dirties. Hell, this is how good hats get properly aged. Also, there is a lot of sweat in there, you gotta get it out. A good hat has a life-span of 4-5 years.

What he said. I have an old Kentucky Wildcats hat that I've had now for 13 years. It's missing a few threads, but when I want it white again, I just put it in with my whites on the gentle cycle.

Air dry, of course.

And happy b-day CSC!

Go choice on the UK hat. Ive been wearing the same UK hat for just about 10 years now. It needs washing pretty bad because the UK stiching is black now.

The dishwasher, seriously.

Make sure it dries properly, so you don't get any crappy vertical ridges on the front.

FAKE ANSWER: You are a bitch.


REAL anSWER: Put it in the dishwasher. This will actually clean a cap very well.

The best way to go here is actually to use athletic/tennis shoe cleaner. At your local sporting good, you can probably find a little kit for about $10 that includes the cleaning agent and a little scrubbing brush. It will last for a long time and works well. You wont have to worry about damaging your hat in the washer.

Get something that is shaped as closely to your head as possible, and put it on that right after it gets out. I'm sure you can get cheap cheap styrofoam manaquin heads at some places. I used a mini basketball, it didn't work perfect, but did the job. I guess my head isn't sphere-shaped.


Edit: I bet a hat store would have tons of these head things lying around the back.

I'd imagine it would work best like that, yeah. If you really need to do the dishes at the same time, just give 'em a little extra wash first. Last time, I just did about 8 or 9 hats at once, so there was no room for dishes.
