These are the two biggest mistakes that
0:02
you can do to ruin your cowboy hat.
0:14
Big day it is. Got me a new hat from my
0:17
friend Chaz Mitchell.
0:24
Chaz makes a great hat he did. And uh
0:27
been a long time since I had a black
0:30
You can see it's packaged very well. He
0:32
knows my size from long time ago. He
0:34
measured it where it really conforms to
0:37
your head. And you can see Chaz always
0:39
puts this little eye here in there.
0:41
Chaz Mitchell custom hats.
0:44
So, let me give you some tips on some
0:46
things you should never do to your
0:48
cowboy hat. Number one thing it's July
0:53
In the car, it's hot. And you think,
0:56
"Well, I'm just going to leave this hat
0:57
laying right here on the dash." Don't do
0:59
it. That hot will shrink this thing.
1:01
You'll never get back on your head
1:03
again. Number two, never lay it flat
1:06
down with the brim. Always put it with
1:08
the crown down. That way you don't mess
1:11
up the shape. But, maybe you don't have
1:12
a new hat and yours looks pretty bad.
1:15
Well, let me show you how to clean it
1:17
the right way. So, this old hat
1:19
about 5 and 1/2 years old. And we need
1:21
to clean it because it looks bad. So,
1:23
first thing I like to do is just take
1:25
any kind of brush and see if we can just
1:27
get the top layer off here. See what
1:32
Need a little water on it we do. Give it
1:36
Now, some little carpet cleaner.
1:39
This stuff will splatter, so it might
1:40
get a little everywhere.
1:45
I'm going to let her soak about 15
1:47
minutes. Now is where the elbow grease
1:49
comes in. Just give it a little wet
1:51
here. We're just going to scrubbing.
1:53
That's some greasy spots right there.
1:55
So, you're going to have to scrub pretty
1:58
good if yours is this bad.
2:00
Like to go back right there and let's
2:02
just wipe that off. We'll be able to see
2:04
a little better. We're going to let this
2:06
dry a little. We'll probably have to
2:08
scrub it just a little more in some
2:09
spots, but we're not going to leave it
2:11
here to dry cuz that's going to flatten
2:12
that brim out. I'll just set it on the
2:14
edge of a chair or something like that
2:16
to where it can just hang. Let it air
2:18
out good. Looks better already, doesn't
2:20
it? I think everything needs a bath at
2:21
least once a year. And if you follow
2:23
these tips about how to take care of
2:25
your hat, you'll always be looking good
2:28
and cowboy it up every day.
