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!? ---

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. ---
