Mine and others seemed to tear up in places you touched and finaly would break. What I did was to smear clear sealer from an old tube I had around on the places that were going bad and it has helped toughen them up and slow the damage. Hope this helps. I'm holding on to "MY" lucky hat as long as I can:fish
What kind of clear sealer???
I used some marine sealer I got at Walmart. I'm guessing any kind of clear sealer would do. When it dries it makes a place where the strands are glued together and protected from moving and getting crushed
Why not make you a loop of a clear line of some diameter and with a needle put it in the crown of the hat, make the loop large enough to get your finger through to put your hat on and take it off. That way you don't have to squeeze or pinch the straw to remove or put it on. :dono
