80th Birthday Hats

Turning eighty is a family event, usually organized by grandchildren, and the person of honor tends to treat it as a license to say whatever they like. This collection gives them the hat to do it in. An octogenarian, from the Latin octogenarius, is anyone aged 80 to 89, and the gift market already knows it: retailers list embroidered 80th caps in the Vintage and Est. styles, a Made in 1946 All Original Parts trucker design, and tees that announce It Took Me 80 Years to Look This Good. The humor here is first person and unapologetic. At my age I don't even buy green bananas is a chestnut credited to Congressman Claude Pepper, with Erma Bombeck writing about it in October 1983, and the hat keeps the joke on the wearer's side. IIHS data notes that fatal crash involvement per licensed driver for drivers 80 and older fell 49 percent from 1997 to 2012, which is a fair backing for a line about still driving at night. These 80th birthday hats pair bare EIGHTY and OCTOGENARIAN badges with sentence designs for doctors who keep retiring, no filter, no apologies, and the front seat that comes with the number. This sits beside 60th Birthday & Senior Discount Hats as the next milestone up. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Give one at the party, or wear it to your own.
