I bought a ton of shit planning to take half of it back. One of the white WS Champs t-shirts was printed with the words at least 30 degrees off horizontal, and not by design. I bought all three color combos of the 59fifty hat in the same size, and it was like the Goldilocks of sizing

I've found this to be true of all 59fifty hats. I prefer to buy them in person for this very reason, but, unfortunately, I like the low-profile versions, which most B&M retailers don't seem to carry. They are pretty easy to stretch of one if running a bit small. I haven't found a solution for ones that run too big.

The solution for shrinking is to soak main portion of hat not (keep brim somewhat dry) in hot water then put on parchment paper/or aluminum foil lined cookie sheet in oven at 300deg for about 4 minutes works for me every time.

I tried that and my hat came out like this:

Good lord

if I had to bake my apparel before wearing it, I’d find a new brand to wear.

Remember when they said out coaches wouldn't want to come back to a dysfunctional front office?

Those Astros coaches like that hefty playoff share they get every year. This year’s piece of the pie will amount to around $400k each.

This is worse than getting custom tailored jerseys.

Man I liked this character because I actually did this as a kid. I’d repeat myself under my breath after saying something. Had to kind of train myself to stop doing it.

(There wasn’t a “spectrum” back in the 80s but in adulthood it’s become clear where I fall on it.)
