Cloudy water, also known as white water, is caused by air bubbles in the water. It is completely harmless. It usually happens when it is very cold outside because the solubility of air in water increases as water pressure increases and/or water temperature decreases. Learn some science.
So pumped on this. Just tried it with one of the hats i have that looked soooo boxy and it got rid of the points completely. No wrinkles at all and i used a dry wash rag instead of paper towels and it actually stretched out a little bit to a bigger size. Thanks a lot man.
Hey man Great advice. From using this video my hat is now the perfect shape! I didn't however use the paper towels as I felt it might make my hat too loose. Instead I just kept my hat on for most the day until it dried ..a little uncomfortable but well worth it in the end! Thanks again.
I use a similar method to this (but usually for snap backs) just to lower the crown of the hat. Same idea. I work the high spots slightly to soften them, but instead of wearing the hat until it's dry I stuff a towel inside of it and make it the shape that I'd like. Then let it dry. It's obviously easier with a snap back because it's adjustable so shrinkage is not an issue.
Hey man! Great advice, got my hat to the perfect shape from watching this video.. I didn't however use the paper towels as I felt it might make the hat loose! I just kept my hat on all day until it dried, not entirely comfortable but worth it in the end! Cheers
Tried this with a 80% poly/20% wool and did make the whole hat look much more even and cylindrical. It did shrink the size somewhat but that is what I wanted a tighter fit. I did it 2x with the same hat without the paper towels with a nice result.
Great method! Obviously this works best with the wool, but I had some success with a poly. I also cut out that mesh inside the crown. I had tried using a heat gun and a screen printing dryer to fit the hat right before with some success, but this is much easier way with less chance of ruining your hat.
Good video dude, it work for me as I'm between sizes. Size 7 is too tight and Size 7 1/8 is too big. So I tried ur method and got it wet with hot wear it wet on my heand unil it dries and now I fits perfectly. Thanks for the helpful vidwo.
@InvisibleXplosion I agree! I wear the hat and even sweat in them and the stickers are not necessary when the hat is absorbing the sweat in the sweltering heat.
I think it's a matter of opinion. I think you look fine with the boxy hat look, as do many other people. I don't even notice the weird look you talk about. Nonetheless, I also like how it looks after. I'm just incredibly nervous to do this to any of my hats.
@BiHSoLo i did that with a recently bought new era and it worked just fine. you dont even have to get the whole thing wet btw, just the rim on the inside. wear it around the house or whatever, and it eventually will start fitting to your head more and more (if its not gigantic lol.)
to all you guys saying his water is nasty....the reason it looks like that is because its hot. its the steam in the water making it look like that. go run your faucet as hot as possible into a cup and look into it. looks the same . if you let it sit it will become clear like normal water.
ive had 5950s that looked like it did when it was wet, thats how i like them too look almost like one of the softer cotton hats but the 5950, when i saw it when it was wet i was like yes! this kid just solved all my problems then it dried and i was like yea it looks better but not perfect, good thinking tho maybe one more time under the water
Hi! Really good video. I have two questions: 1) This method works with new MLB hats (100% polyester)? 2) How can I get the same beautiful rounded brim?
Cloudy water, also known as white water, is caused by air bubbles in the water. It is completely harmless. It usually happens when it is very cold outside because the solubility of air in water increases as water pressure increases and/or water temperature decreases. Cold water holds more air than warm water. In the winter, water travels from the reservoir which is very cold and warms up during its travel to your tap. The air that is present is no longer soluble, and comes out of solution.
Would you recommend getting a size up for this method? Meaning I am a 7 3/8 but don't want it to shrink to a 7 1/8, would you recommend buying a 7 1/2 just in case?
@aznerd999 i take the stickers off my hats except for the ones with a white bill, that way you can grab onto the sticker when you're holding it and the grease and dirt on your fingers won't get the white bill dirty
Savage Troller who the fuck are you? My comment is in reply to dx Wolf I'm not even talking to you. In the case you misread my comment, I suggest you re-read it, it is in agreement to you.
Funny. You can find everything on YT. Even the solution of my "problems". By the way, do you know if there is a name for this typical round brim shape of a field cap?
I need a sure fire way to shrink a hat .. i like to have my hats actually tighter then most people would that is why I need to figure out how to shrink it.
The reason why the water is like that, could be because there is bubbles in the water, if he put water in a glass, and let the bubbles get away from the water, it will be crystal clear again :) I have tryed this once, its fine to drink and dosn't taste of anything other than water! :) - i am not the best at english, but i hope you got what i was trying to say :) Peace out
Lol, "if you don't have a sink, you're out of luck". I guess homeless people will be stuck with a boxy-shaped Era 59Fifty cap.
Word around is he is still wearing the hat to this day.
"The reason why you don't wanna get it on the brim.." then he soaks the brim LOOL
Why is milk coming out of your faucet
XD lol not sure why but hot water tends to have more bubbles
LOL
I saw the same thing!!!!

Its called HOT water, looks cloudy

just got my first 59fifty and I am in the process of doing this (cap is still VERY slightly moist) it's looking better already. YOU ARE AWESOME
10% thanking the user for tips
90% talking about how the water is foggy
Cool video bro... Outstanding and useful information, but I am worried about that hard water....
Hey man

If anyone is interested, his water is cloudy because of air bubbles not because it's nasty.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. I don't know why this video has so many dislikes. Thanks bro

if you dont have a sink your outa luck :) Love it man hehe
Laughing at all the people that have, apparently, never seen hot water coming out of a faucet before.

@InvisibleXplosion I agree! I wear the hat and even sweat in them and the stickers are not necessary when the hat is absorbing the sweat in the sweltering heat.
just used this technique on my yankees snapback hat! greaaat job :P

This is a good video, and even if it does screw the hat up it's like £25 over here to get a new one, no big deal!
does this work on the MLB on-field polyester hats?
to all you guys saying his water is nasty....the reason it looks like that is because its hot. its the steam in the water making it look like that. go run your faucet as hot as possible into a cup and look into it. looks the same . if you let it sit it will become clear like normal water.
Nice! Def helps! Sorry about your P-nats hat though. Diggin all the DC stuff...go Nats!
going to use this on my huf snapback cuz the crown drives me crazy
worked great thanks bro
I shape my caps! Get the RECAP inflatable shaping kit from New ERA also Nu-Cap makes one you can buy on line for like $30.00 they work
What brand of paper towels do you recommend? I like bounty but dawny is good as well. Thanks for the help
Thanx for sharing mate!
Yes thank u so much
ive had 5950s that looked like it did when it was wet, thats how i like them too look almost like one of the softer cotton hats but the 5950, when i saw it when it was wet i was like yes! this kid just solved all my problems then it dried and i was like yea it looks better but not perfect, good thinking tho maybe one more time under the water

Hi thats cool btw can you make a video how to make a new era hat bigger like just the sweat band? how to stretch it ou? Thx great vid
Hi! Really good video. I have two questions: 1) This method works with new MLB hats (100% polyester)? 2) How can I get the same beautiful rounded brim?
That Yankees clock is amazing. Where did you get it?
i just got my hat and the crown is super high!! i might do this.
Dam he got a lot of fitteds wonder how he felt wen we switched to snapbacks lol
@metalkillsbunnys its the reflection of the brim's sticker

Worked great
it still look good with the crown
Great video
would you still recommend this method even though they have changed some of the materials on the 5950?
Would you recommend getting a size up for this method? Meaning I am a 7 3/8 but don't want it to shrink to a 7 1/8, would you recommend buying a 7 1/2 just in case?
@joemamaruiz That was a rhetorical question i wasnt asking for a science lesson thanks.
i mite have to do that on my new denver broncos new era, i jus hope it doesnt get messed up
@JKelly30 That's what hot water looks like, ever see hot water before?
@aznerd999 i take the stickers off my hats except for the ones with a white bill, that way you can grab onto the sticker when you're holding it and the grease and dirt on your fingers won't get the white bill dirty
Do you live in Flint Michigan? Why's the water so dirty
the water isn't dirty. the colour is like that because the water is hot
its hot water idiot
have you never seen bubbles in hot water before?
+animelover98 are you fucking stupid?
Savage Troller who the fuck are you? My comment is in reply to dx Wolf I'm not even talking to you. In the case you misread my comment, I suggest you re-read it, it is in agreement to you.

helpful video, thanks man
Funny. You can find everything on YT. Even the solution of my "problems".
By the way, do you know if there is a name for this typical round brim shape of a field cap?
It has to be a warm water or it can be done whatever the temperature of the water?
@broseidon2881 thats what water looks like when it is hot. i know, i was confused when i found out too.
I need a sure fire way to shrink a hat .. i like to have my hats actually tighter then most people would that is why I need to figure out how to shrink it.
dont wanna ge it on the brim he is doing a reli good job of that
Did anyone else notice his gross ass water
@Proskillerz1 it's called air in the water it makes it cloud.
I honestly like the crown on my A's hat but cool mod
I'll certainly give 'er a try.
The reason why the water is like that, could be because there is bubbles in the water, if he put water in a glass, and let the bubbles get away from the water, it will be crystal clear again :)
I have tryed this once, its fine to drink and dosn't taste of anything other than water! :)
- i am not the best at english, but i hope you got what i was trying to say :)
Peace out
