Ok i need some advice. I just bought a hat online from lids and tonight is the first night i wore it. About half way through the night i realized the hat smells like dead fish. when i got home i sprayed the shit out of it with some axe but it still smells. what else can i do to keep it from smelling ? even my hair smells now and i have no idea how something new could possibly smell so bad. its not like i wore this hat after a game either, i showered then wore it. WHY DOES IT SMELL!?
Here’s an idea, wash it.
someone tried it on, most people are sweating in the mall when they try on hats.
i bought it online
then it loses its structure
might try an exchane it.
Sounds like a valet guy had it before you.
If you can’t exchange it, give it a hand wash in cold water and air dry. Very little stress on the fabric and it won’t shrink.
bring it in the shower:
- wet hair
- put shampoo in hair
- lather up hair
- wet hat
- place hat on head
- spin it around 5-6 times
let air dry.
take a can of ether/starting fluid and spray the hat like crazy. Let dry for hours. Works great
well seeing as all my work shirts smell like that shit, i guess its only fair my hat doesnt.
Febreze. Or Lysol.
you could always get one of the plastic hat frames for the washer. i remember using those when i wore hats, i used a bunch of the lids cleaners and scent fresheners.
I always wash my hats. Fits better afterwards. Is this a flat bill hat? I don’t understand why it will lose so much structure.
should you light it ?
yea, authentic orioles hat. actually the smell went away anyway, i think its cause i wore it too soon after a shower.
Maybe your hair smelled before, and it made the hat stink!
shower?
