The 10 Hat Commandments |
|
| |
|
| I. |
Never handle your hat or anyone else’s
by the crown. It leaves fingerprints and breaks
down the fabric. Always pick up a hat by the
brim, and adjust it on your head by holding
the front and back of the brim. |
| |
|
| II. |
The safest place to keep your hat is on
your head. |
| |
|
| III. |
Anytime you take it off, set it upside
down on its crown. Otherwise it’ll lose
its shape and all your luck will spill out
too. |
|
 |
| IV. |
Never leave your hat in a hot car, closet,
or anywhere else that gets hot. It’ll
shrink. |
| |
|
| V. |
If you get caught in the rain and your
hat gets wet, let it dry out slowly. Same
reason as above. |
| |
|
| VI. |
Never put on anybody else’s hat,
and don’t take it kindly if they put
on yours. |
| |
|
| VII. |
If you’re handling somebody their
hat, give it to them upside down, back towards
you. Otherwise, if they don’t look,
they’re apt to put their hat on backwards.
This is bad luck and you’d look bad
too. |
| |
|
| VIII. |
When you meet a woman, tip your hat to
her. |
| |
|
| IX. |
Take your hat off if you sit down at a
table to eat. Leave it on if you’re
at the counter. |
| |
|
| X. |
Once a week wipe your hat with a sponge,
and when it starts to get loaded with trail
dust, have it blocked and cleaned by a professional.
