Storing your Fitted Baseball Caps

[@lucasecclestone8338]

You literally answered ALL my questions on caps with your many informative videos! Keep it up man

[@dreinthe616]

Really cool to hear, thank you!

[@therududereview3328]

Damn, that's great. I think I'm gonna start using that from now on. Really efficient use of space. Thank you.

[@norizo0114]

Thank you for responding to my request and sharing your method! Again, I have learned from you!!! Thanks!

[@TheTonyMartinExperience]

This may well be my new way of storage, I actually place them side by side on a dresser. And your right the way shops store then by folding them in completely freaks me, I try to keep the round shape as best I can. Nice one again Doug

[@Hail-Marīyami]

The Tony Martin Experience I agree!, I thought I was the only one 😂

[@ALEXANDERATTACK]

Good job my dude thank you

[@dossfn]

perfect video for my friend ROX, love the content

[@davidleon1784]

thanks dre 👍🏽

[@dreinthe616]

Sure thing!

[@rawazkamal5143]

Some people might not know how important this video actually is!

[@dreinthe616]

Right on, thanks - yes, if you put in the work to shape and get the cap where you want it, there's no reason to fold it up again for storage!

[@henryburvee3028]

Great video! Quick question tho, would you recommend putting a flat brim hat on the bottom of the stack? I’m worried the pressure of the hats will kinda crush the bottom one. Thanks again!

[@dreinthe616]

I usually don't but it's not a bad idea. That's usually why I only go 5 or 6 high max, because it does tend to flatten the visor on the bottom cap - but if I grab that one for the day I just give it a quick refresh on the curve (by hand). Thanks!

[@boomervega2424]

Hi Doug! Great video! I was curious about the cap you’re wearing in this video. Which team is it for? Thank you!

[@dreinthe616]

That is an NBA Fitted - Milwaukee Bucks, part of the "NBA Alpha" Collection from New Era - one of my favorite collections, I did a review at kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX-vaoBoa9N3b7s - thanks!

[@boomervega2424]

dre in the 616 Thanks Doug! I just might have to purchase that cap. Will definitely start stacking my fitted caps. Great job on your channel!

[@MrKVEGAS9]

I wish I saw this sooner, but I will keep in mind in the future!! Unfortunately I have a large collection that are all folded. I haven't had the chance to wear many of them. Do you think that they will be wearable eventually or that they will need to be steamed? I appreciate the video and hope I get a response. -Pete

[@dreinthe616]

Yes, if you wear them enough it will start to blend out a bit, but steaming will get rid of the folds a lot quicker, thanks.

[@JonDeLeon]

Hi ....how would you store them away from humidity, dust and mildew for long period of time. Like 2-3 years

[@dreinthe616]

Hmm, well I'd say get a large plastic container with a good seal on the lid. Rubbermaid makes some good ones that I have seen. Thanks

[@ExaltedWarrior]

Nice video. I have a video showing how to make a hanging hat rack, I'd like to get your opinion on it.

[@YuthGorlovlogs]

I want this cap

[@c1nnabun]

You mentioned we shaping the sweat band every once in a while. How do you do that? Just simply wearing them and perspiring in them?

[@dreinthe616]

Yes, that's close to what I was saying... sometimes I do put them on the hat jack that I've customized with my head shape, and I'll steam quickly to refresh. But most of the time just putting them on and wearing them for a bit will get them back into shape from this storage method.

[@matthoffman6962]

Serious but stupid question. When you have a hat that you love but wear it and gets dirty. Are you cleaning it before storing? What about hats you wear for a day or two you just put it back in the storage box?

[@dreinthe616]

Yes, usually clean before storing again, just so you're not sharing with the other caps... I always let it dry out, and if I happened to sweat a lot I'll give at least the sweatband a wipe down. But I rotate collections between shelves and a plastic bin - the shelves are where I keep my frequent wear caps for the season, and the box is for storing months at a time.

[@jonathanhuie8047]

From your experience have you noticed the back panels of the hat lose its shape/get flimsy with multiple hats on top of the back panels?

[@dreinthe616]

Not any more than they ordinarily would... the great thing is they fill right back in when you wear the cap. But I do notice the caps on the bottom of the stack start to lose the curve in the visor, and that's why I only go 5 or 6 high and circulate frequently by wearing them, thanks.

[@DB-zz6fu]

What’s going on bro , what model cap is that you have on , it’s dope

[@dreinthe616]

That is a Milwaukee Bucks fitted from the "NBA Alpha" collection around 2018, I think - I posted a full review of that collection here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX-vaoBoa9N3b7s - thanks!

[@DB-zz6fu]

dre in the 616 oh thank you , I thought that cap was a low profile

[@sourabhsingh1732]

From where you buy these caps please tell me i want to buy one of them

[@dreinthe616]

All are New Era 59Fifty caps - should be available worldwide, thanks.

[@shaggy5194]

Hey from where I can buy them do have link?

[@dreinthe616]

Not sure if you are asking about one of the caps in this video? If you just want to find vendors of caps, just watch my other video series on cap sellers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jl6ke6CNd5yNh5Y - thanks

[@ethansancti2864]

Is the Bucks cap you are wearing a limited edition? I cant find one.

[@dreinthe616]

Yes, that was the NBA Alpha series from a couple of years ago... just taking the first letter off the jersey and putting it on to a Fitted, I still have a review for that collection on my channel, but it's been a while since I've seen one available.

[@ethansancti2864]

dre in the 616 I don't like green caps but that one is really nice. Simple and the green tone is not loud. I hope they would re-issue the same soon.

[@tony2169]

What website do you order caps from?

[@dreinthe616]

You should go check out the channel page, and search my videos - I just did a 3-part series on Fitted Cap vendors, thanks!

[@t100base]

it doeesnt get wrinkled storing them that way?

[@dreinthe616]

No wrinkling, the only thing that happens is the visors on the bottom caps flatten out a bit... but that's why I only stack them 5 or 6 high.

[@t100base]

@dre nice! great channel

[@andrewl.correa7141]

You still store your hats like this?

[@dreinthe616]

Yes, still do - as mentioned during the video, I put in the effort to shape the crown, sweatband profile and the visor - and this storage method preserves those areas for the most part. There are some tradeoffs, but I've found this is the best way for my caps, thanks.

[@Bravesfitted]

Is this still how you are storing your hats?

[@dreinthe616]

Yes, whether on shelves or in a large plastic bin, I usually go 6-7 high. A little bit of a tradeoff because you can get some "denting" above the sweatband, but I personally prefer that to the crease you get from folding the cap inside itself.

[@Bravesfitted]

@@dreinthe616 me too! I stack mine as well, but I was looking for an alternative because of the denting. But I definitely don’t want to fold the hats back in half and get the crease. I’ll prob just stick with what I’m doing for now

[@darwooddarr1274]

I had a brand new size seven no flag logo white sox hat in size 7 it was way too big I tried the blowdryer method to shrink it and to my surprise in about ten secons i burned a penny size hole in it ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,!!!! now i gotta find some kind of pach to hide it crap.................
