    I’m bald with a beard so I show off my natural beauty the past few years. But this is the hat I wear when I do wear one

    my hometown was the rookie league team for the #Baltimore Orioles for over 50 years and I’m mad I never bought one of their hats. If anybody knows how to find one, let me know.

    Put this together a few years ago; nice way to display and organize the MLB cap collection.

    I will never be convinced the Tigers hat is not perfect, but I do prefer the orange D

    Initially thought the order was alphabetic but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Trying to figure out if Mets/Phillies and Yanks/Boston next to each other are on purpose.

    You were close, they're alphabetical by city

    edit* I guess when I put this together I was considering the Angels the *Anaheim* Angels even though that's not their name anymore

    Oops, forgot to mention they're first in order by division (each row is a separate division), then they're alphabetical within their division

    So my son and I had been watching the Baseball Classic and he was wondering about all the teams that were in Mexico. I was in Mexico last week on Vacation and told him a would try to bring him back a hat from the Tigres de Quintana Roo who are based in Cancun. We were staying closer to Tulum but did an excursion into Playa del Carmen one afternoon. They actually had a New Era store in town and I thought I struck gold. I walk in and look and dont see anything on the shelves. I ask the employee and he said they only had the practice hat and went back in storage to get it. It was size XL and that is all they had. Could not believe a New Era store in Mexico wouldn't stock LMB hats when some of them are pretty great. So I ended up ordering these from Burdeens in Chicago :facepalm:.

    they do, and I’m lucky I sell their stuff so I have like $300+ of their merchandise from stocking hats, to real hats, to a Carhart style winter coat.

    some of the shit I get I only wear on the job, Sierra I will rock at all times.

    Cleaning
    IMG_0087.jpeg
    Combine in a tub w. hot water, throw the hats in, agitate every so often. Pull hats out of the dank water, rinse, air dry.

    best way I’ve found to get all the sweat and salt out of them

    i've used oxi clean and warm water in a little bucket but going to try the stuff you have here. how long do you leave the hats soaking? I've been doing 30 mins with decent results but don't know if there's a sweet spot.

    I normally fill the tub, add the stuff, agitate the water to get everything mixed, throw hats in for 30 minutes, agitate the water every 30-ish minutes for like 2 hours. By the then the water will be really brown. I usually take one of those shoe cleaning brushes and scrub any excess shit off of a particular cap that was really bad, drain tub, rinse hats individually for like 5 seconds and then set on a towel to air-dry. I've done it for less and for longer and 2 hours seems pretty effective and reasonable on a weekend day when I'm puttering around the house completing projects

    never had an issue, I curve my bills and they maintain their curve integrity. I've done a couple flatbills for Meatball and they stay flat

    I'm also not manipulating the shit out the bills either, they get a bristle scrub if there's excess salt or unmixed detergent granules and a rinse...that's it

    One of the better 4th of July hats IMO. Still don't care for the big patch on the other side.

    Depends on the hat. There are some more popular ones that they restock a few times a year. But I’ve been waiting on some for well over a year. Doubt they will get restocked
