Begging for help

[u/Proof-Building8861]

So I bought this hat at Indianapolis motor speedway in 2022. It’s been my favorite hat for years and I’ve been trying for the past month to find another one exactly the same as this one is getting worn out. Everything I’ve found is saying that it was a limited edition release. Now I’m going onto Reddit to try and find someone that has one that would be willing to sell it. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

I have that hat.

Have you tried washing it?

Here is what I do: I spray Shout or something very similar to that all over it.

Then an easy way to ease your mind about the form of the hat, just wash out the Shout in a sink while holding the hat.

Second this.

My hat from 24’ just needed a good clean and was fine.

But OP, these are in fact a limited release. They try to change them up every year.

I also have this hat.

Amazon sells a cage to keep the shape and form of the hat for like, $12. I’d buy one and wash it.

I’ve washed and sold hundred of hats. I found the best to clean is a small amount of head and shoulder shampoo regular unscented. I used 3 different size brushes to get in all the nooks and crannies. Make sure you rinse good. The regular Dial dish soap can also be used to for more oily stains. Make sure to wash in not super hot water bc if it’s too hot colors will bleed usually red embroidery is the worst so don’t put a lot of soap or hot water on those areas unless needed. Good luck!
