This is a great idea for smaller imperfections and I found this video while looking for a remedy to my issue. However, I just found my Cattleman in the back seat footwell of our car. Folded sharply in a few places on the brim with the crown squashed all out of shape after our 3 year old took it off her car seat (where I put it while I was driving), put it on the floor and walked all over it getting in and out of the car for a few days. I was pretty close to just ordering a new one due to how out of shape it was but thought I'd give the old 'saturate and wear' trick a try first. I filled our laundry sink with straight hot water and submersed the hat completely until it was saturated (about 2-3 minutes). During that time it regained its shape almost completely. I needed to manipulate the crown just a little bit to even it up. I put it on my head dripping wet and wore it until it was dry. Good as new... The band had shrunk a little over the years as well but this also made the band a nice, snug fit around my head. Even if your hat is a little tight, this will stretch the band just the right amount and make it comfortable again. I should've made a video just to show how well it worked. I was sceptical but the hat was ruined otherwise so I had nothing to lose.

I've heard 2 stories of people doing that and it doing wonders! Did you fully submerge it to the point even inside the hat was filled with water?

Well my good sir, now I have a great excuse to get my tummy back to be able to reshape my hat. Thanks 👍

That's a really nice kettle. I could use a friend like that.

Love my Akubra, keeps me in the shade and looks sharp, my daily wear hat.

[@moanatamati4128]

Thankyou mate!
That kettle steam trick worked a treat!🤗
GOD Bless!🙏🏾

I hold my iron over the hat and pump the steam out as much as required. Super quick and effective.

[@user-ln1hz7lk8e]

Nice tutorial! I have a western style akubra hat that id like to ease how much the sides curl up. Will this method work for me? Will i ruin something?

That hat looks ruined. I’ll be happy to take it off your hands, so you can clear out some space in your shop. No problem at all.
