@@VFTV thanks
bought a steamer and WOW. legit opened up a whole new world🤯
thanks for the tip💡
No problem at all!
Just held it above the tea kettle for a min and worked like a charm. Thanks gents!
Great to hear!
Just got my first fitted. Used the steam method and its already looking and feeling so much better.
Great video.
Yea I use the steam method too, get my perfect curve quickly with brim being soft for a second.. love it.. Great Video guys!
Thanks man! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Amazing video, just bought my first 2 fitted hats today. Recently joined the bald gang so i need to protect my head in the sun this summer. Thanks for the methods boys, will be ordering a steamer today.
Game changer! Just steamed my first hat and it came out perfect. Thank you for your video!
Glad it helped!
When I was a teeanger I used to wear flat caps with stickers on them because I thought it was 'cool'. A decade later, I've started wearing hats again. Now I've got to rock them curved without stickers because 1) It protects from the sun 2) I'm a fully grown adult 3) I'm not some 'gangsta'.

I've used Pierre's steam method from a previous video and it works great. Takes most of the variability when you try to dry bend it. A steamed curve last a lot longer too. The tip for the distilled water is a great way to keep your streamer running like new.
Thanks for watching and you sir, are paying close attention!
@@dgoody84 Great observation. I'm glad you confirmed the information.
I got a steamer a couple months ago and it’s a game changer.. if you trying to get more than a slight bend then steam is the way to go.
I've lived by the steamer for years!
Amazing techniques.
Happy to help!
Both methods work well. nice work.
Awesome, thank you!
Real live just used the steam method on all my hats, salute Pierre
Awesome! Happy to help!
Yo, Ive been buying and wearing hats for quite some time but it wasn't until I tuned in here I even thought about the steamer. I got one and its worked wonders for stretching and curving the brims on my hats. Good look y'all! Good video as always
Glad we could help
I can wear my fitteds either way it works for me I like Munfu method and Pierre good tutorial on curving your hat nice video
Thanks for watching Rice!
Steamer coming in clutch! Thanks for tutorial fellas. Pretty simple and straight forward.
As clutch as David Ortiz in the ninth inning of a tie ball game
I just watched the first one you did on curving the brim and went to store bought steamer and distilled water came home and boom second video was up just like you said on your Instagram live
We almost always follow through when we say we will :)
I've tried both I def need more practice on both methods. Thank you for the vid . Oh I've also tried the coffee ☕️ mug too !! 😁
You're so welcome!
These guys are so legit !!!
Appreciate it man!
Thanks for sharing, this is helpful. Good vid with good content.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice!!!! My opinion is the some of the people who vote to curve by hand, haven’t used a steamer.
To each their own, but I agree
@@VFTV agreed. but until you see the steamer in-person doing "its thing", you'll immediately be conviniced! Mine cost $70aus (which is about $50usd). toally worth it! I use it to shape the bill, removes any creases/lines/folds outta the cap, shape the crown, loosen the fibres if im stretching a hat, etc
@@Waachiye lol, nah bro I don’t use my feet to curve the brim. Steamer all the way!!
Johnny Sins - ur tha man!
Lmao
I used to be a flat brim kinda guy. Now that I’m older i feel I need to grow up.
I literally paused this video went on Amazon and got a steamer after see my how easy it is.
Happy to help!
I’ve used the steam method and it works 👌🏾
It's definitely my go to, but I'm not sure if I convinced Munfu.
I like curves brim may be not as much like I did years ago but I still bent my brim good video guys
Thanks for watching dad!
I fw the raw method first time doing this and it looks good I’ll try the steam method when I get me a steamer thanks bruh🤙🏾
Let us know how it goes!
Just put a pot of boiling water on the stove and use the steam from that. Just be careful not to burn yourself.
@@Itsteeg ok cool thx
There's no feeling like firing up the tea kettle and curving a fresh brim. When the steam dries and that curve is locked in! Also need that steam for a Hat Jack stretch. You will make every hat fit perfect and look 🤌
Well said, Jason!
Finally bought a steamer and wow! Def gives the brim the best curve ever. I’m just going to use the steamer for whatever fitted I wear that day. Did it to my White Sox black Sox fitted from Hat Heaven today and the curve stays in place mostly but I mess with my brim throughout the day anyways so the curve stays nice all day.
BINGO! That's why I do it that way.
Steam and a Bottle is what I use, works like a charm
Game changer !
Yup!
Me too. Break in edges, steam top and bottom for a min. Then I wrap around a skinny olive oil bottle and hold there for 2 minutes, done. Perfect foolproof way every time. Steamer costs like $20. Oil like 5 haha.
@@RabbitFighter666 haha I got an aluminum water bottle that does the job 😂
my clean up hat brims are always pre-curved. great tutorial and especially the reason for the curve to better fit on the head (via Pierre)
Thanks for watching and commenting Hattar!
@@VFTV I learn something new with these tutorials
Thanks fellas! I like to use the soda/beer can method. I think maybe that was Mike Perri's method when you had him on the show. I'll probably get a steamer eventually though and give Pierre's method a try. I don't trust myself enough to use Munfu's haha
I still haven’t got around to grabbing a steamer (always say that $’s toward another hat 😅). I still do the raw bend. Pause. Same concept as Munfu. Just keep doing the slight bends and looking at it until I get it nice and even... like a sculptor lol
Fair enough Danny!
If you don't have a steamer another method is to wet a thin towel, place the towel on the brim and iron the wet towel onto the brim of the hat works a treat
Good brim curving
Thanks Dad!
1 - For in game: wear the MUNFU curve to not blind your peripherals with over curve.
2 - For fashion sense: round or wide face profiles, MUNFU has the perfect curve... if it's narrow and long, Pierre has the perfect curve.
hey u too kool man. no bullshit attitude...great vid and thnks dawg
Thanks for watching man! You gotta be saying Munfu is cool, I'm just an old guy.
@@VFTV lol more like wise . i enjoy and learn from yal
You know what it is i think flat brims look better with people with long hair like i got dreads and i think flat brims look best for me👌🏾
I don't have the ability to grow hair. So, curved it is lmao
Or you wear it stupid flat if you a true rican or Dominican if you know you know😂😂🇩🇴🇵🇷
Fr I have long hair and wear 3 styles. 1. No curve for bigger caps 2. Slight curve 1. Smaller caps get curved the most for additional headroom
Thank you Fellas
No problem Bo!
Such dope video
Thanks man! Happy you liked it!
@@VFTV u welcome
That blue jays hat is so fire, which hat is that?
That's a 'double up' from MyFitteds. It has the 20th Anniversary patch on the back and the '91 ASG on the side.
@@VFTV thank you!
Steamer is the way to go! Steam/bottle plus takes out the wrinkles and keeps the shape longer 👍🏽
Yeah, totally agree!
I use a coffee cup 😬 at the house lol to me I curve it cause it gives it more style, feels classy and I’m mature now, back when I was 18 the flat brim was the style I’m 30 now so all my fitteds are curved
Thanks for sharing!
I rock both flat and curve...curve on my dodger hats and flat on my other collection!
Wow, first hybrid brim curver I've come across lol
How can you get rid of the little air pockets /clouds” that forms in the center when you curve the brim??
Let it dry and smooth it out. Tough part about curving.....
I do your technic , but it unbend quite alot after a while , do you know how i can fix to stay curved permanent ? And did i understsnd about the corners , you pull them inside ?
@@jean-philippelegault1989 that’s correct, pull the corners together and it will help the curve look natural. It’s pretty hard to keep a curve completely permanent because depending on how you store them, they can start to lose that curve.
@@VFTV thanks alot!
Would the moisture of the steam cause the stitching to bleed through? I had a pink bottom Mets Subway Series hat from hat club and my sweat caused the black stitching to bleed through and it looked horrible. That’s my only fear. Causing bleeding to leak through color UVs
I haven't seen that happen yet.
Yo the steamer method works very nice. I got the recommended steamer. I don’t have one hat that dimpled on top by the crown and brim. Pierre any suggestions to over come or fix that?
Steam from the inside and get the buckram warm. Gently massage the dimple out with your finger.
OK thanks
steam makes the curve come out crispy good
Yup! Been saying this for years!
Can’t go wrong with a curve
Damn straight!
Boy got that undercover cop curve
Lol, definitely not a cop
Anybody have a link for a good steamer???
Use water 💦
My curve all depends on the hat and how tight it fits. I wear my hat low almost to the point my eye brows are gone. I wear a 7 1/2. Most caps I own have a slight curve for the fit to be comfortable. I have two or three tho that are completely flat, I don’t wear them often. If I wear my true size (which I haven’t size I was younger) 7 1/4 - 7 3/8 the curve is real like yours. Most of the guys around my area who play baseball prefer that fit so it doesn’t fly off while playing.
Makes total sense!
@@VFTV Yeah you know function over fashion sometimes!!
I might have to buy a steamer now lol! That curve is 💯 when the brim is dry, it is hard like before you steam it or is it flimsy?
It’s hard after it dries. Only difference is it’s got that perfect curve.
can u do it like that without a steamer or like can u do it with boiling water? btw is it a good idea if u don’t have a steamer to put the brim in hot water?
You can use a tea pot, a pot, etc. DO NOT immerse your brim in any water.
Does the steamer shrink the brims fabric?.. Is this the reason for it staying in its curved shape?
Not really sure, I just find it to be more effective.
I broke the brim on my last two hats. It doesn’t take much.. I didn’t use steam either time tho
Omg when Pierre folded that brim I’m like 😟😟😟
I’m a professional Ed. A PROFESSIONAL 😂😂😂
@@VFTV 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have theeeee slightest curve on one of my hats and it kills me every single time I look at it. I’m staring at it rn 😭
Munfu’s method is better in my opinion, not to curvy. Never liked the steamer method. Thanks Munfu for your method. 🐐🔥💯
with the steaming method you can choose how much bend.......
I'm way late to this but can you do this on 100% polyester hats?
Yea
What setting do you put the steamer on, is 2 bars good?
I just use it on high. It works fine.
Curve gang
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
imo best way is the use the steamer and then form the brim around a hydro flask and then let it dry
Thanks for sharing.
Tell me someone knows what hat that is in the thumbnail. Obviously a Red Sox but where can I get that right now I need it.😭🤣
An old MyFitteds release from their mini pinstripe capsule.
My Crown is to boxy what method should I use?
There's a reshaping video coming.....
If I don't have a steamer can I use an iron?
The steam button may work. It’ll be more difficult though
@@VFTV my iron ended up having a built in steamer inside that i never knew about, thank you so much for sharing this 👍
Are those caps high or low crown flat brims?
Normal 59fifty silhouette
what type of steamer you used ??
Conair.
How Can i reshape the crown?
Steam and a mini soccer ball.
How do you store your hats after you curve them?
Same way, but you definitely lose some capacity.
Man i never liked the idea of curving because i cant stand the sight of those ' bubble / wrinkle ' that forms in the middle of the UV when it gets curved.
However , after watching this video, Pierre said that it can be smoothen out ? food for thought.. hmm...
Try it!
@@VFTV I'm on it chief !
Will steamer cause an issue for wool hats? 😅
Keep it focused on the brim and you shouldn't have a problem. It could contribute to shrink on the crown etc if used there too much.
@@VFTV thanks for the tips man👍🏻. Vote for curve🤩
that's awesome but i like to curve by myself my new era hats
Burrito method best curve
Can you boil water if you don’t have a steamer yet ?
Yes, you can use steam any way you can do it.
@@VFTV appreciate it! Keep up the great content
What about a cleveland steamer?
Probably doesn't apply here lol!
Then an Alabama hot pocket will do
Could i use purified bottled water ?
u want distilled because there's minerals in it
I used zip tie and it worked ok
Nice to hear. Thanks for sharing your method.
What if I already have a crease in the brim? Is there a way to smooth that out?
Try stream. If it’s cracked there’s not much u can do
@@VFTV I tried that and ironing and no go. I will add it was a hat club campfire hat and made in Bangladesh which I find to crease super easy. The brims are thinner than China hats in my opinion. Does your steam trick work for both?
I curve it depending on the size. 1/4 3/8 are always curved, 1/2 hats are flat
Definitely gives a little more room when you do curve it
Steamer hack if you dont got money for one. Use a kettle, but be careful.
I just boil drinking water and steam the brim it works aswell
Ok 🤷♂️ lol. I’d rather use a steamer
I can’t never curve my cowboys hat
I hate when my hat looks like Elmer Fudd.
Only way to get a great curve easy, get a steamer.....
Totally agree! Lets pull more people to the 'steaming' side!
Don't curve your brim. Save time and energy and buy a Dad Hat instead. ❤️⚾
Or don’t tell another man how to wear his hat 🤷🏼♂️
is dis nicca jackin bein?
Water bottle and a rubber band. No need to spend any money.
that takes long, look at how quick the steamer is :)
