When people make wagers, one possible penalty for losing is to eat a piece of your clothing. Hats are the most common form of clothing that can be eaten, especially in period pieces. However, sometimes they eat their pieces of clothing to show that they're frustrated.
Please do not attempt to eat your clothes in real life, as you will choke or get food poisoning if you do swallow it.
A Sub-Trope of Extreme Omnivore and Humiliating Wager. Compare Eating Shoes, normally done out of desperation.

In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, as part of its song to the first years, the Sorting Hat declares that it'll eat itself if anyone can find a smarter hat than it.

Viva Piñata: In "Horstachio of a Different Color", Pecky Pudgeon expresses his belief that Hamilton will win the upcoming Horstachio competition saying that he will eat his shoe if Hudson wins (because Hudson's friends point out he doesn't wear shoes, he changes the terms to eating somebody else's shoe). When Hamilton gets disqualified for turning into a Zumbug, Fergie pulls out a shoe for Pecky to snack on.

The Aristocats: When Edgar confides in Frufru that he'd kidnapped Duchess and her kittens, he is about to bet his hat to eat that it won't be traced back to him...before promptly realizing he left behind his hat, umbrella, and motorcycle sidecar while doing the deed.

The Simpsons:
In "Ned 'n Edna's Blend", Ned Flanders gets married to Edna Krabappel, and Bart reminds Homer that he vowed to eat his hat if Ned ever got remarried... and his "hat" at the moment is a crown of thorns for playing Jesus in a Passion Play. Fortunately, it's made of licorice.
In "Take My Wife, Sleaze", the Hells Satans force Homer to eat every article of clothing he owns with their name on it after he used it for his own biker gang.

Milly, Molly: The book "Milly and Molly Go Camping", and the cartoon episode based on said book that is simply titled "Go Camping", both have the girls camping in Milly's backyard. Due to them having wussed out during their previous attempts, Molly's father says that he'll eat his hat if they manage to stay all night in the tent. When the girls succeed, Molly says, "Jack and Tom will never believe that we stayed out all night!" and Milly says, "They will when they see your dad eat his hat."

The Fat Controller from Thomas & Friends has had his hat eaten multiple times.
The first instance was in "Edward, Gordon and Henry" when he leaned out of the window to wave at Edward and Henry but the train was going quite fast, his hat blew off and landed in a field where a goat ate it.
In the episode "Baa!", he said he'd eat his hat if the sheep didn't like it, but the sheep ate it anyway because it blew off.

On The Dukes of Hazzard, in an episode that flashed back to when the Dukes built the General Lee, Boss Hogg vowed to eat his hat if the Dukes won the upcoming race (at that time, Boss Hogg ALWAYS won these races) against him. They won.

In WordGirl, Warden Chalmers often will say things like "And I promise you right here and now, if you don't have the best time of your lives this weekend, well I'll eat my hat!" Luckily, he has multiple hats made out of meat.

Later: Early in the book, Jamie Conklin's neighbor, Mrs. Burkett, dies, after which her husband has trouble finding his late wife's rings. Due to being able to communicate with ghosts, Jamie learns from Mrs. Burkett that she left the rings on the top shelf of the hall closet, which he tells to his mother, who discreetly suggests to Mr. Burkett to look there. Mr. Burkett is skeptical and vows to eat his hat if the rings are there. When the rings turn up exactly where Jamie said, Jamie briefly considers asking Mr. Burkett if he wants salt and pepper on his hat but decides not to since the man is still grieving and he doesn't want to come off as a smartass.

Spider-Man: The Animated Series: In "Night of the Lizard", Eddie Brock discovers Dr. Connors is the lizard, and takes J. Jonah Jameson to Connors' house to prove it, claiming he will "Eat today's issue of the Bugle" if he's wrong. However, by this time Connors has already been cured and is human again (though he would "relapse" later in the series). When Jameson sees the perfectly normal Dr. Connors, he offers Brock the newspaper with the question if he wants it cooked or raw.

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius: In "The Retroville 9", Butch bets that he'll eat his hat if Jimmy hits the ball he's pitching. When Jimmy hits a home run with his scientifically-enhanced bat, Butch makes good on his end and says his hat's not that bad. He's later seen taking another bite - with a few more taken out of the hat than before - during the montage of losses against Jimmy's team.

In volume one of Reflections of Eterna, several unars (pages) at the Laik School make a bet about who of them is the true identity of "Count Suza-Muza" — a prankster tormenting the boorish Superintendant Aramona, — with the punishment for losing being eating one's own hat. After the mystery is resolved (many volumes later), the loser does honor their agreement and eats his hat (with mustard), albeit "off-screen", i.e. in-between chapters.

A variation in one Archie Comics story, where Betty tells the gang about a dream she's had where one of Riverdale High's female sports teams wins a game because of Jughead; Reggie promptly swears that any day that happens in real life, he'll eat Jughead's hat. Well, it soon turns out that some of the girls from that very sports team need to get their grades up in order to play, and they approach Jug for tutoring, and of course they go and win their next game...cue Reggie gnawing on Jughead's hat while Jug dryly comments that Reggie owes him a new hat now.

In an episode of Futurama, Bender bets his coworkers he'll set a new record on a mechanical bull. He does set a record - shortest ride. Naturally, he weasels out of the bet. Dr. Zoidberg decides someone should eat the hat, and dips it into a bowl of salsa before chowing down.

Eight Crazy Nights has social outcast Davey defend a talented youngster from b-ball court bullies. Davey and the kid challenge them to a first-to-five match of honor. One bully, bloated with conceit, ups the ante with "If you win, I'll eat my jockstrap." Davey raises the stakes: "If we win, you'll eat his jockstrap," indicating a sweaty, corpulent fellow of iffy hygiene. In fairness, the loser is seen attempting to chew the putrid thing, even while committing arson in retaliation.

In an episode of Mythbusters, the build team is modifying a bus to be remotely driven. As there have been cases of remotely driven vehicles going AWOL before, Grant puts a large number of fail-safes in to prevent any issues. He's so confident that the bus is safe that he offers to eat his multi-tool pouch if the bus goes out of control. When the bus fails to stop because the batteries used to operate the brakes fail, Grant timidly requests his multi-tool pouch be fried - with a little bit of powdered sugar.
