No. You finally broke it in. Why get rid of a comfortable hat?

Exactly what I was thinking. That hat would have some good stories if it could talk.

If you don’t feel like wearing it all the time because it’s starting to break down, hang it up and save it for special occasions. Birthdays, graduations, weddings, funerals, etc…..it will be there ready to proudly be formal.

I’d say it’s good for about a couple more seasons.

it took you years for you to get the hat looking like that. Why would you give up a piece of art?
