I finally had to admit to myself that my black (actually grey from the UV rays) JD ballcap could not be washed one more time... it truly was distressed & falling apart after 5 years and 7 washings. So, during my next trip into Longford I stopped by my dealership to buy a new hat. They didn't have any black ones, so I bought a green one.
As I was about to leave, the manager came out for a chat (no reason, just because). It came up in the conversation about the green ballcap and he simply walked over to one of their service utes, grabbed a black 'dealership' JD cap and gave it to me.
No, I didn't return the green one... that would've been rude.
