Oversized Leprechaun Hat Left At Home On St. Patrick’s Day To Avoid Damaging It
CLEVELAND—Concluding that the rewards simply weren’t worth the risks, local man Tim Fitzpatrick told reporters Monday that he would leave his oversized leprechaun hat at home on St. Patrick’s Day to avoid damaging it. “Obviously, it’d be a dream to live it up at McKiernan’s with this thing on my head, but I’d just hate to see the brim get all bent out of shape,” said the 39-year-old, who cited concerns about wear and tear ruining the crown, emerald velvet fabric, or large golden buckle among his justifications for leaving behind the holiday-themed novelty hat. “I’m just going to wear one of my other smaller leprechaun hats. If someone asks to try one of those on and stretches out the sweatband, they can go wild. Hell, go ahead and steal it. I don’t mind. But not my big leprechaun hat. That’s special.” Fitzpatrick added that he had learned his lesson after a spilled beer forced him to throw out his favorite green-tassel and shamrock-embroidered glitter vest back in 2023.
