Color bleach would work if you wanted to get that white part white again.
🤭h Justin..he is……. ..my heart is 🫠 Justin Jack is my middle ☀️’s name 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
Ok..my hat and cardboard brim is soaking wet with sweat. I'm looking for the way to clean the sweat out at this point. Soak it in plain water to dilute the sweat out? Should I add anything to the water like a non bleach detergent or shampoo? 🧢
Work on your layout and typography skills before you make a how to video
i have a unrelated question: do these fitted caps exist in other themes other than baseball/basketball?
4:00 Warm or cold water? Btw, my hats are made of cotton. or polyester. edit: nvm I would actually like that one of my hats shrinks a bit. It's one size fits all without a "belt" (or whatever you call it in English) at the back of the hat, like the one at 4:28.
Don't put water on a fitted fullstops. You will fuck your cap up! 💯
Guess I'll be trying this but seems like you'll fray the fibers around the hat like eventually it would look fuzzy 🤔 Ps. Yes I'm a flat bill guy 😅
Can the same method be used to clean your Internet history?
Use Woolite for delicates. Also it doesn’t hurt to get the brim wet.
Man that logo tho 🗑️🗑️
Where did you get the hat?
Thank you so much for this! I will share my video with you when I'm done!
Jajjajajjjajajajjajjjajajajajjajaajaja how he said suave jjajajajjajajajajjajajajajajajj rhe word is in spanish my dude
Thats a clean sink
I tried this onj a hat of mine and, sadly, it didn't work. In fairness to you, the cap was stained with an ointment I used for my dandruff, not just sweat.
I would put it on the hat shaper and clean it on there with a underneath.
I love this video sm🤣, it has great advice, it kept me entertained and dude is mad funny
I live in the UK. How do I purchase the Hat reshaper?. Shows its currently unavailable. 🤦♂️
I just cleaned brim from my Toronto blue jays hat (navy blue with the baby blue brim) with oxyclean spray a little water and a tooth brush and it look like brand new. But yea do not wet the brim too much.
Awesome, thanks 👍🏼💜
do you get paid for that.?
... do you get paid for that?
Don’t worry about soaking the brim. I’ve been washing my golf caps for 20 years using Totally Awesome and the shower function on the garden hose. Hang them out to air dry. Like new! Never had a misshapen brim.
I have sooo many really nice hats but since I live in Florida they allways get that dirty sweat stains
dawn dish soap is great too!!
So does the starch spray leave the hat really sturdy like it’s straight out of the store? I got plenty of hats that need to be more sturdy
I did this with a toothbrush and some liquid soap and all I got was streaks on my blue hat. I’m guessin cause of the brush. What am doing wroooooong 😭
I guess new era discontinued the reshaper cause I can’t find it anywhere or would any hat re shaper do the job ?
Oh my God thank you for this my comic book flat bill caps are disgusting and I haven't known how to even attempt cleaning them without fraying the embroidery
This is what i need. Thankyou!
Why does my brim turn loose when I wet it
Use shout cleaner
But does it Thall? 🤘Helpful tutorial in any case. Thanks!
So I have a blue dodgers fitted and the LA logo is kinda dirty lookin (my daughter 😭🤣) how would I go about trying to clean the logo
Thank you!!
I've hand washed 1 fitted hat a few years back. Shrink? I haven't washed anymore since because the sweat band stretched out. Too big now. I soaked the shiznit out of it. possibly the weight of the water I guess.
Where to buy ?
Awesome. Great vid. Other stupid people says dishwasher, total shrinkage
Goodness 🤣 a size 8?? Bro I have dreads to my waist and I don't even wear a size 8!! Jokes for the vid ! Thanks Also, for the hat reshaper... get starch and a balloon! Very simple. Also use a hair dryer to help dry 🙃
Great Video! Not sure if this is your niche or not, but there arent too many videos like this on the internet. I am sure if you made a series out of this and showed different ways you can make promo music videos for different platforms (with different styles) it would be a hit! I for one would become a regular haha, Thanks man you rock.
How about the color if you brush it it will fade
"How to clean a hat"... BUY A NEW ONE BROKE BOY
I've never had problems with scrubbing the embroideries on my hat and soaking them in water. The card board gotten messed up from soaking my hats. I usually use dawn dish soap because it is an amazing degreaser
It's a good idea although the stains around the front of the brim want addressed & that's where we sweat the most, Is there a tutorial for that?
You should’ve told us to watch the whole video before we started cause everything you’re telling me not to do I already did it
Dope vid, Love your commentary.
Buy hat cage, use dishwasher or laundry machine in gentle cycle.
Do you still have the hat?
Thought my 7.75 hat size was big. Well it is... but 8!?!? 😂 Cool vid.
