Wasabi Baseball Hat did not make it safely through the washing machine. Finally the logo patch was sewn onto the donor Maple Leaf hat. Photo 3 by Don Tai
My dear neighbour gave me an urgent call. It seemed that she had put her baseball hat in the washing machine and the machine chewed it up and spit it out. All that was left was the “Wasabi” logo. She brought over the logo patch and wanted it sewn onto a Canada baseball hat. Ok then, let’s prevent a Hat-astrophy!
