Laundry Pile & Clothes Chair Hats

The best-known piece of laundry folklore is the sign: "Laundry today or naked tomorrow!" It turns up in column after column of laundry-day quotes, and it sells as a men's graphic tee at Walmart. The best-known piece of laundry geography is Mount Washmore, the mother-coded name for the pile that outgrows its basket. Parenting blogs, podcasts and laundry-service ads all use it, and an Australian mum's photo of her "behemoth" pile, called Mount Fold-more, was praised on Facebook in 2020. And then there is the chair. Psychologist Sara Navarrete told Hello magazine that the clothes on it are not laziness but "a postponed decision," and Simone Giertz's Laundry Chair Kickstarter for half-dirty clothes raised more than $966,000 against a $50,000 goal. These hats treat the whole thing as an expedition. LAUNDRY DAY and MOUNT WASHMORE are the badges. The rest are deadpan reports from the summit: the chair as a closet, the clean basket as a wardrobe, a care label that ends in ABANDONED, a lone sock filed as a cold case, and a search-and-rescue team for the pile. MOUNT WASHMORE and LAUNDRY TODAY OR NAKED TOMORROW each come in a second colorway. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for your own chair, or give one to the person whose Mount Washmore has a name.
