Thanks for letting us share our journey with you! The email for a free hat is ffylfashion@gmail.com. Make sure you follow all the instructions to get a free hat on us! Will be limited time! Thanks again!
Great tips I don't usually sell hats my husband seems to want to keep them. I love the hats you give away as a proud family of several service members i would be proud to ware your free giveaway. Email being sent.
I just bought a huge lot in an auction. Ended up being 3 truck loads. Took all day going through it and found new with tags 2009 NASCAR caps and T shirts. They are only dusty. Just looking around to see the worth or all 11 of them. They are all different. So cool.
Finally a channel I can did. I too am a hat seller. I have been selling hats for most of my life. what I use is perfect round balloons for shaping. You can get a 100 pack for a buck and the hats have never come out better. We are about to change our youtube handle and when we do, I think we should do something...
Another great video. I love that you talked about how to clean several hats at once in the washing machine rather than just a few in a tub of Oxyclean. You’re the first I’ve seen on UA-cam to do that. I’m surprised you don’t sort out the red hats and clean them together. Of be worried that one red hat might bleed it’s dye and ruin the whole load.
I found your channel as I searched for selling hats on ebay. One of my goals for 2024 is to get my hats listed. I mostly sell plush, books, and hard goods, but have dabbled in hats. I have several bins of hats that I have been putting off listing. I like your bulk cleaning method. I am going to do that, but on a smaller scale. I already have several of the hat shaper plastic forms that I got off of Amazon. Thanks for the information.
Great info! I have tried several ways to clean hats, but your method sounds more comprehensive. I really appreciate this and am glad UA-cam directed your video over to me. I'm now subscribed! Thanks!
Hey Guys glad UA-cam suggested your vid. I was wondering if you have ever tried using the Dishwasher? That what I use and find that it works Amazing! It seems to not disturb the form as much as the Washer does. You may not be able to wash as many as washer but you can still wash quite a few at once. Plus the better the shape the more money you get. Good luck with the channel and Ebay!
Great but complicated question :). I have several what sold videos that will help, and a deep dive into some great hat brands/styles. Just starting look for the hats that sell for more than $20. Pricing just comes from knowledge on the brands and styles in demand. I am going to keep making the deep dive videos too on the good ones to look for. Thanks for watching!
I am thankful for your advice! I dabble in selling hats and really like to. I was interested to learn you take all remaining foam out of the old hats with loss of foam.
Great question. All depends on the value of the hat and my opinion if I think it can take a wash. A $15 dollar hat I usually take the chance. A $100 dollar hat hand/spot wash. I have messed some up before but I am working with volume and just take the loss of product over the loss of time. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.
I've been timid on cleaning hats and normally sell it for less and disclose for buyer to clean. I will try this! Thank you for sharing the information.
How do you keep hats clean? Can I spray silicone water repellent? I do that with all my sneakers, but worried it may smell to toxic and make me sick smelling it all day wearing the hat. Nice video and thanks for the share.
Excellent video! I’m wondering if you think that grandmas spot remover would work on residue that’s left from a sticker that was never taken off and sat way too long? If not, what would you do to get that off? Thanks again for all the great content!!
was a hat collector ...still buy like i am ...but i dnt even ware em really anymore .. i do like selling hats ...one item ive never lost money on sellin on ebay ...LOL
Yea I did for a while just found the bowls were the best solution fast and reusable. Not perfect shape on all hats but gets the job done. Thanks for watching!
You will probably want to try the towl and steamer method. Ball up a towl and stuff it into the hat and then use a steamer to work on the wrinkles. I say towel because everyone has one but if you have something better to put in the hat that gives it the shape you want then you can use that.
Hey Brother, I followed play instructions and sent you an email. This is the first time I stumbled upon your channel and it looks like a great one that's right up my alley. Looking forward to future videos and also watching your older ones. I also hit that Bell and selected all to get notified for all of your videos
I have been wanting to know how to clean my husbands hats! Lol We havee ruined so many hats by washing them in the washer. Thanks for sharing! Also I am a reseller and love new cleaning methods for clothing and shoes.🥰
Thanks for the video. Other than trucker hats, what hats do you avoid putting in the washing machine. I've found that velcro straps sometimes catch on the sides of other hats which can cause damage.
First time viewer, big time hat lover and owner of many hats that need cleaning, so I really appreciate this video. Been contemplating getting one of those hat cages to use in the washing machine but I see that one is not necessary. I have a bunch of New Era brand hats with a flat bill. So I was always reluctant to put them in the wash. Definitely going to investigate if they have all the supplies needed here in Canada. Thanks for the info. I've liked and subscribed.
Forever ever :) if the foam is mostly dust better to just clean them out. Buyers will want a clean product. If the foam is still good and intact I don't clean it out.
Hey Howdy from NOLA!! I have an extensive collection of DKG/TRUKFIT/LRG Skater Clothing hats as well as RETRO COOGI and THROWBACK Rap Record Label Companies on the Gulf ... great tips that I could use when I do my Monthly cleaning session... My neighbors laugh when I got them drying ALL out on my FrontPorch..... The bowl shaper is a GAME CHANGER
On my way to selling a few vintage hat, mainly International Harvester. Appreciate the info on the foam inside and how to deal with it. Keep rolling with the info and videos. Thanks again!!
I've been listing hats as a filler in my store. Just spot washed a 100% wool hat & would like to know if there's a way to get the crinkles out of the front of the hat. TY, subscribed !!
So grateful that UA-cam sent your video my way. I enjoy this kind of content. I’m new to selling on eBay and never considered hats as an option before, but now I will. Definitely going to binge watch any other videos that you have. Thanks for sharing.
His name is dean 😀. We have Sammy too but he doesn't hang out in the garage much. They are the reason I have to quickly move the hats to our storage building they love to look at hats 🤣
Thanks so much! Just found your channel. Really useful info for me regarding how to clean the hats. I appreciate it very much. And thanks for the giveaway. 😊
Sometimes I will scrub it and wash it twice. Some hats are actually "bleached" from the sweat stains and not much saving those unless you want to try to use some fabric dye. That can be very difficult to match.
I’d be interested in seeing any tips you have with getting white hat nice and bright. That’s my biggest struggle. I usually use a mix of oxyclean, dawn blue, and vinegar but it only seems to work in some stains
No, I use a dish brush. A toothbrush would probably work on a few hats, but I use a bigger one you would find by the dish washing chemicals. Just get a softer one you don't want the bristles to be too hard.
Oxi does work really well, too. We do some clothing also and the grandmas is just all around all purpose the best we have found. I am thinking of doing some oxi again on the white hats I think it outperforms on white.
Maybe soon. I am easy to find, but not really trying to sell my audience stuff from my store right now and the easy click traffic will greatly reduce my conversion rate. Just don't think the payoff is there yet. Thanks for watching!

Great content. Thank you.
This video was so informational ! Thank you 😊
I've sold a few hats, and will look to do some more. The bowl idea when drying is exactly what I was looking for! Great idea.
Sell those hats!
A much needed instructional process to improve the quality of your listings. Outstanding!
I have never sold hats before. But you’re videos are very helpful. I will think twice before walking past a pile of hats in the future
Just like reselling anything some are better than others. Got to learn the bangers to never pass up.
Hats are like vintage t shirts that sell great also.
I just bought a huge lot in an auction. Ended up being 3 truck loads. Took all day going through it and found new with tags 2009 NASCAR caps and T shirts. They are only dusty. Just looking around to see the worth or all 11 of them. They are all different. So cool.

Thanks! Appreciate you watching.
Hello I really appreciate your video on cleaning hat thank you
Happy to help!
My husband is a hat lover and they get filthy! Glad to know how to clean many!
Awesome let me know how it goes!
Bump cap inserts would work great for shaping.
Good to know!

Red does occasionally bleed. Most of the time if the hat is in dead stock type of condition. I am more careful with those.

This video kind of blew up. GOOD FOR YOU! It's a great video. Very clear and easy to follow. Hats are one of my favorite things to sell on eBay.
Thanks! I was surprised too! just sharing the things I do every day.
Great info! I have tried several ways to clean hats, but your method sounds more comprehensive. I really appreciate this and am glad UA-cam directed your video over to me. I'm now subscribed! Thanks!

Sure a dishwasher works well too. Like you said for a few hats works great!
Thanks for sharing this method. I will have to try this for all the hats that I have.
Let me know how it goes!
I never thought of selling these on eBay. I always pass them by. How do you determine what sells and prices?
Great but complicated question :). I have several what sold videos that will help, and a deep dive into some great hat brands/styles. Just starting look for the hats that sell for more than $20.

Do you clean hats like this even that say dry clean only? Or do you get them dry cleaned?
Great question. All depends on the value of the hat and my opinion if I think it can take a wash. A $15 dollar hat I usually take the chance. A $100 dollar hat hand/spot wash. I have messed some up before but I am working with volume and just take the loss of product over the loss of time. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.
Love your generosity. If free hats are still available, great. If not, that's ok too.
Make sure you sent an email!
Hey Hathouse, thanks for all the solid tips!
Great video on how to clean hats. I really needed that info.
Happy to help!
I've been timid on cleaning hats and normally sell it for less and disclose for buyer to clean. I will try this! Thank you for sharing the information.
Go for it! Most newer hats will be just fine. The return is typically worth it.
How do you keep hats clean? Can I spray silicone water repellent? I do that with all my sneakers, but worried it may smell to toxic and make me sick smelling it all day wearing the hat.
Nice video and thanks for the share.
Excellent video! I’m wondering if you think that grandmas spot remover would work on residue that’s left from a sticker that was never taken off and sat way too long? If not, what would you do to get that off? Thanks again for all the great content!!
Glad to find your free hat give away. What a clever idea. I'll wear it proud . Thanks MAD HATTER
Lol thanks. A lot of emails the last couple of days but the plan is to have them all sorted out friday. It will be on its way soon.
was a hat collector ...still buy like i am ...but i dnt even ware em really anymore .. i do like selling hats ...one item ive never lost money on sellin on ebay ...LOL
Thanks for the information as I have several old hats that need deep cleaning. I usually use anything I can find to put wet hats on to help form them.
Yea I did for a while just found the bowls were the best solution fast and reusable. Not perfect shape on all hats but gets the job done. Thanks for watching!
Great information!! I will go to your EBay shop and check out your hats! I am thrilled with the quality of the clothing I received!!👍👍 12:38
Do you starch the tops/fronts to a shape or just let them be loose? Thanks for the video!
No I don't. There is definitely an argument to be made for taking this extra step on some higher end hats. Just not really my model.
Thanks for the great video. Best one I have seen on how to clean hats. 😊
Thank you. I hope it helps!
Thanks for the insights on cleaning the load of caps!
You bet!
Neat! This vid may not have been about cleaning 1 hat, but I got enough good info to clean-up a couple of baseball caps I have:)
Awesome! Let me know how it goes.
I've got a vintage trucker hat; the foam is solid but wrinkled badly, any advice?
You will probably want to try the towl and steamer method. Ball up a towl and stuff it into the hat and then use a steamer to work on the wrinkles. I say towel because everyone has one but if you have something better to put in the hat that gives it the shape you want then you can use that.
@@HatHouse79 Smart! I'm pretty new to hats, so thanks very much!

Just got to be careful with the older ones. Thanks for watching! let me know how it goes.
Tech sent me here to check out your video on washing hats. Thank you for the video!
Welcome to the hat house!
Thanks for the video. Other than trucker hats, what hats do you avoid putting in the washing machine. I've found that velcro straps sometimes catch on the sides of other hats which can cause damage.
Great point. Making sure the velcro is not exposed or keeping them separate will help.
Also be careful with leather strap backs. 🇨🇦
@@canuckgirl1624Was wondering about the leather strap backs. Do you have a suggested cleaning method for these?
@@Seasidesalesfl123I have used Leather Lotion (shoe cleaner) before. Maybe HatHouse could weigh in here? 🇨🇦
Great vid! I have a few hats that need cleaning from sweat. This will help a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you I really appreciate you sharing your tricks. I will definitely be using this on my hats.
Happy to help. Welcome to the channel!
I did that. Thanks for the vid on how to do this!
First time viewer, big time hat lover and owner of many hats that need cleaning, so I really appreciate this video.

Definitely going to investigate if they have all the supplies needed here in Canada.
Thanks for the info. I've liked and subscribed.
You can still use the cage. It wont hurt just hard to wash 20-30 hats at one time in the cages.
So you really get rid of the foam forever? That doesn't hurt the sales?
Forever ever :) if the foam is mostly dust better to just clean them out. Buyers will want a clean product. If the foam is still good and intact I don't clean it out.
Glad UA-cam suggested you to me! Thank you for a very helpful and informative video.
We are too! Welcome aboard 😀
Just found your channel and I’m already hooked! Glad to see someone shares the same passion for hats and caps as me. BOOMER!!!
SOONER!

Love vintage hats. Great video
Thanks!
Great video for cleaning hats 👍.
Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your video. I see hats a lot but washing them can be a real challenge. What do you do with heavy staining on the sweatband area?
Sometimes I will scrub it and wash it twice. Some hats are actually "bleached" from the sweat stains and not much saving those unless you want to try to use some fabric dye. That can be very difficult to match.
What model is your Samsung washing machine?
Just found you and subscribed. Great info, thank you
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for the awesome advice.
You bet!
What if the washer I have has a center agitator? Can I still use it?
I wouldn't. Maybe test some hats you wouldn't be out much and see how it does.
Great content to much great info for a free hat thanks 🙏
Thanks!
I’d be interested in seeing any tips you have with getting white hat nice and bright. That’s my biggest struggle. I usually use a mix of oxyclean, dawn blue, and vinegar but it only seems to work in some stains
Maybe at some point. Until then look up the paper towel method.
Will do! Thanks!
Awesome video. Thanks for the info.
You bet!
Thank you for teaching us this
You bet!
Thank you sharing your knowledge!!
Thanks for watching!
Thank for the informative video I love hats and really want to get into selling more of them
You can do it! I am here to help.
I appreciate these videos, thank you
Happy to help!
Do you use a toothbrush to scrub or something else?
No, I use a dish brush. A toothbrush would probably work on a few hats, but I use a bigger one you would find by the dish washing chemicals. Just get a softer one you don't want the bristles to be too hard.
Years ago when I sold hats i used the oxyclean stick. Will have to look into the grandmas cleaner.
Oxi does work really well, too. We do some clothing also and the grandmas is just all around all purpose the best we have found. I am thinking of doing some oxi again on the white hats I think it outperforms on white.
Have you ever tried the toss an Aspirin in with white load? Supposedly works great i just always forget to buy it when at the store
@8055boss8055 no I have never heard this. Let me know if it works.
Dawn works great also and I used to get out oil stains on hats and clothing.
Great info, will do!
Glad it was helpful!
I have 300-400. All mine from storage units saved up all year long.
Hope this helps you get them cleaned quickly!
Very Good video TY
Thank you for watching!
great video. Thanks for the info.
You bet!
Enjoyed the video!
Where do you get the grandmas spot remover?
Some walmarts carry it. It is hit and miss. There is a link in the description for amazon.
Subscribed brother.
Love useful resale videos
Thank you! Welcome aboard.
Should put your eBay store link in your description. Thanks for sharing
Maybe soon. I am easy to find, but not really trying to sell my audience stuff from my store right now and the easy click traffic will greatly reduce my conversion rate. Just don't think the payoff is there yet. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great info!!

What’s best way to store your hats after listing
I have a video called 6,000 hats you should check it out. I am thinking about redoing it too with updated information.
