THE TEN HAT COMMANDMENTS

1. 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.

2. The safest place to keep your hat is on your head.

3. Anytime you take it off, set it upside down on its crown. Otherwise, it will lose it's shape (and all of your luck will spill out too!)

4. Never leave your hat in a hot car, closet or anywhere else that gets hot. It will shrink.

5. If you get caught in the rain or snow and your hat gets wet, let it dry out slowly.

6. Never put on anybody else's hat, and don't take it kindly if they put on yours.

7. If you're handing somebody their hat, five it to them upside down, with the back towards you. Otherwise, if they don't look, they are apt to put their hat on backwards. This is bad luck and you'd look bad too.

8. When you meet a woman, tip your hat to her.

9. Take your hat off if you sit down at a table to eat. Leave it on if you're at a counter.

10. 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.
