This here baseball cap, you know, them hats with the little brims? My grandson, he’s all about them. Got a whole stack, taller than a haystack! He says they gotta be “fitted.” Whatever that means. Just gotta fit your head, right? This is about how to wear a fitted baseball cap.
Fitted Cap, Huh?
I seen folks wearin’ ’em all sorts of ways. Backwards, sideways, pulled down low. Back in my day, we just wore hats to keep the sun outta our eyes. These young’uns today, they make a whole song and dance about it. But I guess if you’re gonna wear one, might as well wear it right.
Gettin’ the Right Size
First things first, this fitted cap thing, it means it ain’t got that little strappy thing in the back to make it bigger or smaller. So you gotta get one that fits your noggin just right. Like findin’ a good pair of shoes, gotta try ’em on. Too tight, you’ll get a headache worse than a rooster crowin’ at sunrise. Too loose, it’ll fly off your head faster than a chicken with its head cut off!
- Measure your head, I reckon. Use one of them soft tape measures, like for sewin’.
- Go ’round your head, ’bout an inch above your eyebrows, where the hat would sit.
- Write that number down. Don’t wanna forget it, like I do with my grocery list!
Now, these baseball caps, they got sizes. Numbers and such. My grandson, he showed me his. Got all these fancy labels inside. Just gotta match your head number to the hat number. Ain’t rocket science, is it? Even in this age, it is really easy for us to find one, though sometimes I don’t understand why they design like that.
Puttin’ it On
Alright, so you got your hat. Now what? Well, you put it on your head! Ain’t no magic to it. But here’s a few things I noticed watchin’ my grandson and his friends:
- Brim forward: That’s the usual way. Keeps the sun out, like it’s supposed to.
- Brim backward: Now, this one, I don’t get. But the young folks do it. Makes ’em look like they’re up to no good, if you ask me. But I will be lying if I say that is not cool. My grandson likes this.
- Little tilt: Some folks tilt it to the side a bit. Gives ’em a little bit of that “I don’t care” look, I suppose. Or maybe their head’s just crooked!
You gotta make sure that fitted baseball cap is sittin’ right. Not too far forward, not too far back. Just snug, like a bug in a rug. And make sure the brim ain’t coverin’ up your eyes. How you gonna see where you’re goin’? Unless you are a mole, I think that is important to see the road, honey.
Keepin’ it Clean
Now, these hats, they can get dirty. Especially if you’re wearin’ ’em out in the garden or while you’re workin’. Sweat, dirt, you name it. My grandson, he’s real careful with his. Always cleanin’ ’em. Here’s how I see him do it:
- Spot clean: Get a damp cloth, maybe a little bit of soap, and just scrub at the dirty spots.
- Brush it: He’s got a special brush just for his hats. Says it keeps the shape right.
- Air dry: Don’t go puttin’ it in the dryer! It’ll shrink up smaller than a raisin in the sun. Just let it air dry.
Don’t Be a Dummy
Here’s some things you shouldn’t do with your fitted baseball cap:
- Don’t wear it in the shower, it ain’t for that.
- Don’t let the dog chew on it, it will be broken.
- Don’t leave it out in the rain, it is not good.
These baseball caps, they’re just hats. Don’t need to make a big fuss over ’em. But if you’re gonna wear one, wear it right. Get the right size, put it on straight, and keep it clean. That’s all there is to it. Now go on, get yourself a hat and stop lookin’ like a bald eagle!
These young people, like my grandson, always wear these hats, and they say that is cool, or trendy. I don’t really understand that, but you know, it is their time. We should just let them be, and follow their mind. Whatever, as long as they are happy, I am happy. Fitted baseball cap is a fashion for them, and it is okay. They work hard, they deserve that.
It is not difficult to wear a fitted baseball cap, though I don’t like to wear it. But if you want to learn, just do it. It is easy to follow. Don’t worry. You can master it just like what I say above.
