So excellent! I've tried all these ways with elastic and sewing in head bands, etc to keep my large brimmed hats on my head when the wind blows but nothing works well enough that I can be relaxed. It never occurred to me I could make my hats tight. And I actually have this draught excluder-- because I moved here from the East and no one in California understands about weather proofing. Well I thank you so much clever young lady. Don't worry about your pronunciation because draught is pronounced 2 ways, one for beer and one for wind. No one understands it really.
I am going to Hawaii and with my little head and Flappy Hats, this looks the way to go. Big THANK YOU for sharing!! Best of all, no sewing as I was afraid to try
Thank you so much beautiful. I just got a fedora and it’s too loose on my head and I was going to send it back but something told me to investigate how I could tighten it first and you were the highlight of my night. Thank you 😊
Mannie, thank you! This works brilliantly. Your presentation was a pleasure to watch and listen to, too, too; cheerful and one hundred percent professional, clear and informative.
was ready to return some hats that were too big for my head. But wanted to see if I could fine a remedy on TH-cam and found your video...Brilliant and so easy ! Thanks
A very helpful tip. This animal is very new to the mysterious world of hat-wearing and forgot that hats come in different sizes at the time of purchase.
Thank you! My sister gave me a hat for my birthday, and it was too big. What a great idea! And your video is very professional. People forget to lower their music when they speak. But you did it perfectly. A+
OMG thank you so much, such a simple but clever idea, and quick too. I`ll have much more hat options now that i know i can make them fit for almost no cost at all.
I found this hat at H&M that I was looking for so long and when I finally saw it I was so exited to buy it that I took the wrong size and it was an L (large) so it's a little big big for me but I'll definitely try this out 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Glad, I came across your video i just got my 1st Fedora Hat and the adjustment strings fell apart. i need to get some draught tape. thanks for the info.
I just got the witch brim hat from Killstar & I'm for sure going to employ your tip!! I want to wear it further back on my head without it blowing off.
Thanks for this great advice and for showing how to do it! I've got a tiny head and haven't been able to buy hats that fit. Now I can, thanks to you!!!
thank you so much - I bought a great black straw hat from a charity shop/thrift store to alter for a steampunk event and now I can make it fit me properly
was trying to order on line googling hat inserts.I'm so Happy I saw your video. THANK YOU!!! hardware stores like home depot or Lowe's.I can get tomorrow!! :)
came here after buying a baker boy hat. i loved it so much but only one size was available so just bought it. its a bit loose. im gonna try this tip. thanks.
My friend gave his Indiana Jones hat as a parting gift before he went to Italy, but its too big for my head. This video has helped with what I need to do to remedy that. Thanks very much.
first of all, fedora are aerodynamic because of the the nature of their brims, a classier option will be to try a homburg!! wear them on a windy day, you would love it.
I just bought an Indiana Jones Outback Fedora from Western Outlets, which turned out to be kind of big for my head! This just might be the thing I need!
I bought a used wool cloche hat that was too big. All I did was hand baste around the loose outer edge of the inside petersham ribbon. I used two strands of regular thread and tightened it up as much as I needed. No $ spent.
Excellent! I just received a beautiful hat I ordered online and it's way too large. There was no way I could wear it even in a slight breeze. Problem solved. Thanks!!!
Hey my hair is super straight maybe a bit like yours so I always struggle with the fact that hats slides off. How can I make it so it'll stay on better? I will do the tape trick as well.
thank you !! i was wondering if there was a cleaner way of stuffing that brim...THANK YOU. But "Draught tape?" is that a British thing? if so, what do we call it in the States?
oh, never mind....after doing some research...i guess we call it "DRAFT" tape...as in, when there is a DRAFT, you seal up the borders of your doorway with it to save heat/stay warm. THANKS AGAIN
Thank you so much, I will be doing this to my hat, I always hated it windy days when I wore my hat but likely not anymore, by the way you're the cutest girl!
I used two sets of bills, one for the front and one for the back. Used a $20, a $10 and a $5 for each set. Not only does my hat fit perfectly, I always have $70 with me should I run out of cash somewhere.
You can trim the draught tape to make it thinner so you can still fit it inside the ribbon band. For the one with no ribbons, depending on the colour of your hat, use either white or black draught tape and stick it directly onto the hat :)
Mannie: I tried to find a fedora hat at the site you mentioned in this video, choice.com, but I cannot get into this site. I'm pretty sure it's not a SHOPPING site. Did I misunderstand you? I'd like to get the hat you have in this video-- it's pretty nifty! Little help?
Just did this to one of my hats that was wayyy too big and it now fits perfectly!!! Thank you!! Such a cool hack.

Going to try this on a hat that I've been waiting to wear tomorrow! Love this thanks for telling Americans where we could find this tape!
Bless you for this!! This has to be one of the most helpful vids I've ever come across.

An inexpensive, easy, fast and brilliant fix! Thank you!!

This worked perfect and it was as simple as you said. Thank you so much for your easy to follow video!

Great Tip! Only I used felt strips (looks like the coiled foam tape) that I got at Home Depot. Thanks, Mannie.
I bought a new hat the other day and it is slightly too big - now I know what to do. Thank you so much!
That was a cracking tip
Will definitely use it on a Lite-Felt purchased last year but never worn
.Thanks again xxx
So simple but such a good idea and I already have some of that tape knocking around. Thanks
I just got the witch brim hat from Killstar & I'm for sure going to employ your tip!! I want to wear it further back on my head without it blowing off.
I just put a sock behind the sweatband on the back of the hat and that worked wonders. Doesn't look as pretty on the inside but it gets the job done 😃
Thanks for posting this was a big help since I have a small sized head. Quick and easy. I absolutely love it. Thanks again.
Thanks for this great advice and for showing how to do it! I've got a tiny head and haven't been able to buy hats that fit. Now I can, thanks to you!!!
Brilliant video!!! Thank you so much for an idea so simple yet completely overlooked in my search for reducing a hat.
Great DIY advice for those new to hats. And you are absolutely gorgeous!
thank you so much - I bought a great black straw hat from a charity shop/thrift store to alter for a steampunk event and now I can make it fit me properly
Genius! I have a small head and you have saved my dignity!
You are actually a genius :D Today im gonna buy this tape!
Thank you kindly for posting this. Cheers from California, USA. BTW, I love your British accent.
Good idea - I have a big head, but it's obviously not quite so big as I thought it was and I have a hat that doesn't quite fit. I shall try this!
What an excellent presentation - keep up your positivity
was trying to order on line googling hat inserts.I'm so Happy I saw your video. THANK YOU!!! hardware stores like home depot or Lowe's.I can get tomorrow!! :)
I bought a Trilby from John Lewis sale at 1/2 price slightly on the big side so this will resize it for me. Thanks for a super easy-to-do tip.
came here after buying a baker boy hat. i loved it so much but only one size was available so just bought it. its a bit loose. im gonna try this tip. thanks.
Excellent tip. Very attractive melody in your speech. Where do you hail from?
In the U.S. you get stuff like that from Home Depot and Lowe's (for the drought tape)
What a fantastic video presented in an interesting and fun way. I will try this technique on my bowler hats.
My friend gave his Indiana Jones hat as a parting gift before he went to Italy, but its too big for my head. This video has helped with what I need to do to remedy that. Thanks very much.
This piece of window seal tape was sitting in my box for years, absolutely useless! So I bought a hat size bigger and now it works great!
How cool, bought a great hat for Derby but I have a child size head. Made it perfect fit.
Awesome video! My hats fly off during windy days, so this is a great fix!
I'm glad you find it useful!!! :D
mightymannie You are so beautiful! 😊
R u a £€$B0 ?
I am deffo going to try this! You saved my life girl :D hugs from windy Brighton x
worked a treat on my fav hat that was always a touch too big. Fits perfect now thanks
This is wonderful! I have two hats I love that I was thinking of returning but now I won't have to.
The choice of different hats defines a person character, Fedora for me!
Very well presented showing the steps very clearly.
first of all, fedora are aerodynamic because of the the nature of their brims, a classier option will be to try a homburg!! wear them on a windy day, you would love it.
In India we call this jugaad.. Don't worry it's a compliment! Ingenious! :)
Great idea👍🏼….. it made me smile😊……Thanks for sharing🙏
I just bought an Indiana Jones Outback Fedora from Western Outlets, which turned out to be kind of big for my head! This just might be the thing I need!
Actually, It worked!
Hats off to you!! Clever and cheap as chips!! Thanks
Thank you, Mannie, you have solved my problem! So simple - and I have draught tape at home already! :-)
Fast, effective, and straight to the point!, LIKED AND SUBBED!.
I bought a used wool cloche hat that was too big. All I did was hand baste around the loose outer edge of the inside petersham ribbon. I used two strands of regular thread and tightened it up as much as I needed. No $ spent.
OMG AMAZING! haha my hat looks just like yours and i am deffo going poundland tomorrow! THANKS
I have this problem all the time. Thank you for solving it for me!
You're welcome!!
Excellent! I just received a beautiful hat I ordered online and it's way too large. There was no way I could wear it even in a slight breeze. Problem solved. Thanks!!!
Perfect!
Thank You Sister...
Fast quick and to the point..🤗🥰🙇♀️
Wonderful video! Just the tip I needed for my hats!!
Thank you for the demonstration. It was very helpful
Hey my hair is super straight maybe a bit like yours so I always struggle with the fact that hats slides off. How can I make it so it'll stay on better? I will do the tape trick as well.
would this work on a plastic fedora. my sons are having an indiana jones themed party nd the fedoras i got them while inexpensive are very loose
What a great video.... you save me alot of money and I love you positive attitude..... You are too cool for words.
And here I was sticking a folded up rectangle of paper towel in it xD this way seems much nicer, thanks!
The leather head band distorts quite badly, but the hat does fit?
I just used back pack straps. Fit perfectly in my snapback
how to straighten and make the edges round which might have occured by keeoing in under pressure.
thank you !!
i was wondering if there was a cleaner way of stuffing that brim...THANK YOU.
But "Draught tape?"
is that a British thing?
if so, what do we call it in the States?
oh, never mind....after doing some research...i guess we call it "DRAFT" tape...as in, when there is a DRAFT, you seal up the borders of your doorway with it to save heat/stay warm.
THANKS AGAIN
mightymannie I no its says one size fits all but I have big head lol 58 or so cm do think the one u have will fit
This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you!
love it ...thought i would need to buy a whole lot of new hats ...
Thank you so much, I will be doing this to my hat, I always hated it windy days when I wore my hat but likely not anymore, by the way you're the cutest girl!
ufff finally somebody saved my life. Thanks a lot for that. Greetings from london.

That looks good ! ... looks like it will work , thanks ...
This is EXACTLY what I needed. Thanks!!!!
great simple idea, thanks manni x
Great idea. I got lots of hats but one is too big. Will try it. Thanks...Lloyd :)
What a brilliant idea! Thank you!
I have a very small head so i never wear hats eventhough I would like to, so I find this very useful :)
Thank you! This was super easy and effective!
This is really useful! 👍🏼 Thanks
Nice and simple fix - really cool. Thanks!! :)
I used two sets of bills, one for the front and one for the back. Used a $20, a $10 and a $5 for each set. Not only does my hat fit perfectly, I always have $70 with me should I run out of cash somewhere.
What if rhe ribbon inside is really narrow? Like half inch size? What would you recommend? I also have another with no ribbon..
You can trim the draught tape to make it thinner so you can still fit it inside the ribbon band. For the one with no ribbons, depending on the colour of your hat, use either white or black draught tape and stick it directly onto the hat :)
mightymannie ohk. thought so. thanks much :)
Thanks for the tips Mannie and you're so adorable. :)
Just used this on my trilby. Works great.
Thank you I knew there was a way to do this since I thought I had seen it done for mens hats
You are brilliant going to definitely try it thanks a mill!!!
solves my problem with my Borsalino, Perfect Thank you
Thank you sooo much for this tip it's easy and quick xxxxx
Maybe post a link to that nifty Indiana-Jones type hat here?
What a great tip. Thank you so much, I can now wear my hat without it blowing away.
Thank you so much I was going to return it. This was a very genius idea.
