baseball cap wear.. its never washed.. its lots of finger oils on the edges where you put it on and adjust it.. the bill gets the brunt of it even when you try to keep it up and nice looking.. and the back side when you typically lean up on something with the back of your head.. sometimes the fold areas get a little worn or faded.. other than that.. not a lot of weathering.. but some fading and some staining in the sweatband areas from the temples to the front. it takes on a salted water look in the dark parts on the undersides of the bill as well.. and the sweatband along the lower parts of the sides and back of the cap.

Could I use this technique say on a felt cowboy hat?

[@TheFilmLook]

Yeah I'm sure a felt cowboy hat would take to this weather technique really well!

[@arncj18]

maybe without the tea part

[@thuggathuggababy]

That’s the whole point of making it look like an old dirty hat that’s been through a lot. Especially on white it makes sense

[@deanjelbertaustria6174]

Why do you want to make a cap look old? idgi

[@TheFilmLook]

To aid the backstory of the character. This character had been working at a pizza shop for years. He's also the type of person who wouldn't be bothered about washing his uniform. Having a old, dirty, weathered cap gives us visual clues about his personality. It gives life to the characters before the cameras start rolling.
