Look at that ridiculous hat you wear before you judge mine.

Darn, I thought I’d found three more.

Burn it.

Leave his cap alone. He likes it.

Many decades ago, that cap was a frequently seen topper. Seems it faded to use only for golfers, at horse tracks, and a couple of other occasions as ‘sporty headgear’. Occasionally seen nowadays but definitely not for every guy.

My wife threatens to do the same thing to mine! Guess she’s just not a hat person…

He’s not exactly STILL wearing it, he’s wearing it AGAIN.

And another thing. I’m tired of my t-shirts smelling like Pledge.

alas, I had to put my favorite hat of the last 6 years to rest last week. it fell apart as I hand-washed it. it had survived dog chews, freezing in the snow. baking in the sun. golfing many a round. but it finally succumbed to rain and sweat and old age. rip

Was he still in it? It didn’t sprout legs on its own you know.

To make that work you need to walk it out to the garbage truck when they are doing a pick-up.

I bought my Dad a couple of Irish wool caps when I lived there in the late ’60s. He loved them and wore them all the time.

When he died in ’93, I inherited them and often wore them in his memory.

I still have one and wear it on occasion. It is in remarkably good shape for a 54-year-old cap. It is still waterproof and the wool colors almost as sharp as when I bought it for him.

Thought of Auric Goldfinger’s cap in the golf scene.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTBvu-fTTIk

He thinks it makes him look like a monkey and you’re constantly making him look like a monkey…

Those are spares.

Which one’s cap ?
