Now you can't say MY husband isn't frugal! I finally burned it one day when he was gone or he would still be wearing it!

He must be related to my husband, who'd say this hat is still good enough for fishing or working in the yard or some darn thing. He wouldn't be ready to part with it either, just like your husband. Tough trying to keep the clutter at bay with guys like these, isn't it?? More power to you.
You should probably go through his underwear drawer at the next possible opportunity! :)
I hope your hubby doesn't read ThriftyFun and finds out what happened to the hat ;-) LOL !!!
Actually he had been telling me to "get rid of that hat when I'm not looking" because he knew it needed to go but didn't have the nerve himself. He was raised in the depression and can't bear to part with something that still has some "good" in it.
TOO FUNNY!!!
Is that duct tape I see on it? Well you can't say he didn't get the use out of that old hat, now can you?
Was he upset when he found it went missing?
I hope that you were able to replace it with one that was very similar:0

Great story, great photo. I like the duct tape too. He could've gone witha nice clear tape, but I like his choice of the traditional gray.
Looks like a perfectly fine hat to me!
With plenty of fine memories in it, too.
Well, dang...I guess it's gone forever.
Many years ago a friend had some boots that he just couldn't part with. These were the very cool "Dingo" harness boots that alot of men wore in the early 1970s-- heck, I had a pair myself. My friend had his boots re-soled many times, but the uppers were completely shot. They were scuffed, cracked, and discolored. His wife was really getting on him about buying a new pair and he would always tell her, "What? Why? They're just broke in! They're super-comfortable right now...I'll wear them 'til they quit."
