OT old caps

MI AC Parsons · Dec 29, 2012

What do you do with your old caps? I pick one up here and there, then wear it almost ragged, but I don't want to throw it away. Alaska, fishin trips, tractors, from all places. Just keep stacking them doesn't seem right. thinking about a wall in the pole barn, something better than a nail. Each one brings memories. suggestions?

I don't do anything with them. SWMBO usually gets tried of smellin them, and tosses them. I just dig into the pile and come out with a new one according to the season. When I need a new clean one to go somewhere, I just dig into the pile. When one of the g-sons needs a new one, they just dig into the pile. Every expo, seed sales dinner, field day, and trip, I usually come home with a few, and they just go onto the pile. Never seems to go down very far...

I usually find them on hooks in the backroom under old sweatshirts and coveralls that have been there for years. Suppose I should round them up someday and do something with them. I keep thinking I'm gonna build another building someday,kind of a personal museum for things like that,my old FFA jacket,toy tractors,horsedrawn plows,you name it. Trouble is,the more I think about it,the bigger it'll need to be.

I'm kinda like you, I hate to throw them away. I have about two grocery bags full now.Several of the business advertised on them are no longer in business. I, like has already been mentioned, have been wanting to build a small building or fix a room to display some small stuff. Doubt if I will ever get it done though.

I have a sentimental attachment to them also. I cant seem to throw one away, I have a pile in the bedroom closet that just keeps growing. I have an old Deere hat I wore years ago that some of my friends would think i was crazy if they saw me with it on now.lol I have some of my Grandfathers hats also they mean a lot to me. i have to say I have never thought of displaying them but that would be a more respectable use for them.

I'm the same way; I have 3-4 contractor garbage bags full in my bedroom closet. I really need to sort them out some day, and put them back into the bags in some sort of order. LOL

Do like I've seen done in Bar's, staple them to the walls, ceiling, beams, etc. .

I haven't worn a cap since I left the Marine Corps 49 years ago.

I might wear a straw hat on a hot day in the summer, or a fur lined helmet on a cold day, but the rest of the time I'm bare headed.

I cant get rid of em either, I have my grandpa and dads hardhat on the wall and god willing I will put mine next to them in 20 or so years!

I don't wear the baseball caps too much. If I go to town I may, depends on the wind.
I do buy myself a new straw hat for planting though and wear it when I am out farming. I should remember to take a picture or video of this next fall, but I wear it all year. Then I run it through the combine when the crop is harvested. The chopper shredded it pretty good this year, didn't finish on corn.. :lol:

Put em in a ziplock bag and staple it to the shop wall.Wash the dirty ones first.A neighbor has several hundred hanging from his shop ceiling.
