I love how people are mad at me for telling them how to wear their hats in the same breath that they are telling me how I should or shouldn't wear my hat.
Thanks for the info. I wouldn't buy that type of hat until I just watched this, flat bill not my style. I am way too old for that, love your work here.
1033stein tried this for the first time last night on a hat that I had with the higher crown and it worked perfectly. You should get paid from New Era, love some of the Minor League hats but would never buy them until now. Thanks again!
When i got my first caps at sge 17 I used to use em flat with the crown and sticker... 2 years later I just break em, remove the sticker and idk... I just got tired or idk but you are right lol ;)
luket905 Not everyone wants to wear a hat that still has the stickers on and with a super straight bill. Personally I think people look like douchebags when they wear hats like that
This is brilliant! I am a woman with a head so tiny I have to wear kid sizes and even those look utterly ridiculous because of the high crown. I honestly didn't think I could wear fitted hats but I recently found one that I couldn't resist so I tried this method and it worked perfectly. I did this twice, wore it in the shower a few times (without getting it wet), and did the stretch until it pops method (6 3/4 was a smidge too tight) and the hat now fits like a glove. Thank you so much for posting this!
I looked ridiculous wearing these high crowned hats, I hated it! After running the hat through hot water and drying it several times it still had the high crown. After the blow drying technique it's almost gone! Thanks man!
You're my saviour, man! I've had two high crown caps for a while now which I really liked the design of but always looked awkward and goofy on me. This method sorted them right out!
Awesome! I felt the same way about New Era hats until I started working them in a little bit. Now they are all I wear. Remember it's a process. After the initial break in you must keep wearing it, breaking it in, and sweating in it. They get more comfortable and fitted to your head the more you wear them. An announcer on the Nationals broadcast talked about this last night.
Thanks for the help man! I've been trying to break in my hat for way too long by throwing it in the washer machine. Little did I know it was this easy. It's good to see a video on here without a flat bill. At least I know there's still hope in the world!
just wanted to add this tip: I followed his instructions and did it 3-4 times to make the cap fit better. My wife bought a hair dryer with a diffuser. I used that on the hair dryer and the heat was evenly distributed on the mesh inside of the cap Worked great...nice video just wanted to add that. Awesome video...VERY helpful!! Rock On!!
We used to use midday sun to do this with our little league hats. Of course it would take for ever, but it would work after a few tries. When I was older I discovered this as well lol. But man those were the days! And yes we were lucky enough to have new era authentic hats with our logo on it which was amazing for us at the time. Real little big leaguers 😂. We would throw them, put a ball in the bill and rubber band it over night, talk a parent into running over them with a car, swim in them at the pool, and on and on.. We spent as much time on our hats as we did a new ball glove 😂
Thanks for posting. I used to wear the deadstock look, but prefer a worn look now that I'm older. A lot of streetwear brands still use the 59 as a canvas & this will help me mold them. Screw these guys hating.
Thanks for the video man! I've got a new 59 fifty authentic Braves all-star game hat coming in tomorrow and i'm super excited to get it fitted the way I want to PROPERLY...this is one of the better videos out there... one guy was pretty much soaking his entire hat before hand
Thanks DFW, this method worked perfectly. My wife was close to kicking me out of the house because of the high dome. I call it the birth control look. Thanks to you, she digs the hat and all is well in the universe.
Interesting way to do it, but I just take the stickers off and curve the bill a little bit by hand. Good to go. Oh, and sweat from the hot summer heat helps break it in, too! Love these New Era caps.
I'm a lifelong Rangers fan (grew up in Dallas) who now lives in Harrisburg, PA, home of the Senators (Nationals AA team). Since the Rangers were once the Senators, it feels like I'm following the Rangers third cousin. So yes, I have Rangers and Nationals hats in my collection. Which is why I followed your tip in the first place. And it worked great! The shower, the oven... I've tried it all and ended up with a wrinkled hat. The hair dryer lets me shape it just right. Thanks!
🤔 I believe there’s reason why the “Low Pro 59FIFTY” was created. But I also believe in flying your own flag, wearing it the way you like it, without been badly criticized. With or without (stickers) (crowned) (flat brim) in the end it’s you spending money to please yourself and no one else. Peace ✌️ spread more love & let’s end hate.
I'm so glad I found this vid. I was just about to try cutting the mesh out of one of my new Cardinals caps, which I'm sure woud have ended in disaster. I tried this and it worked like a charm! I usually buy the low crowns when I can because I hate the look of the high crown, but those can be difficult to find in my size. Now I can just buy the high crown caps and use this method.
Man! Who knew this was such a polarizing topic. I bend the bill and shrink the cap because that's what looks best on my head. Flat bills and high crowns make me look like I'm wearing a box on my head. I take the tags off because I'm crazy that way. I also take the tags off of shirts, pants, belts, shoes, video games...you name it. I practice a strict tagless existence. On this there is no flexibility.
Great life hack. I was going to take the nylon structure out because the 👑 was too high, prior to this video. The crown fits worlds better than before. Thanks again!
I saw this video years ago bro! I've been using this method ever since , THANKS ! I used to do the water inside method but it was too time consuming, anyways 4 years later I come across your video again LOL thanks again man !
Thanks for the awesome vid! I actually have always done the hot water then cut out the mesh trick, but then had to shrink the hat in the oven...Man does that take forever! lol this saved me a ton of time and I actually like the mesh broken in over it being removed... good job man!
Great video DFW. I had just kinda gotten used to wearing the high crown of my 59fifty hats but never was fully comfortable with the shape, all the cool new styles only come in the high crown. I re-shaped about 5 of my Padres and Bama hats last night. It seems to have worked great. Personally a like my bills a little flatter but the crown tips were spot on. I also used a rolled up paper towel while forming it to my head so that it didn't get as tight. Thanks a lot for the video.
Thanks for the video! I wanted to get an authentic hat, but I'm just too old to wear it flat. This video gave me the confidence to know that I wouldn't look like I was trying to be a teenager.
Wow thanks so much for the longest time I thought the type of hat mattered I always thought to buy a hat that fit me perfect and now I know that all my previous hats can fit like my favorites thanks so much for the video
Thank you! I didn't know about high/low crown. BTW, when I was in elementary school in the 80s, only nerds (before they were our overlords) left the bills on their caps flat and wore the hoods of their hoodies on their heads. The cool kids always knew to bend the bills of their caps right away and to never wear their hoods no matter the temperature. How things have changed!
Nice video! This doesn't just work for 59Fifty either. I just did this on a flexfit hat and now it looks a lot better on my head, Made it fit my head better. I'll probably do this with a lot more hats too. i did this with my 59Fifty and it worked but I just don't love how I look in them. This is awesome, glad I found this.
Dude, this is right on!!! Thanks! I haven't had a fitted baseball cap for almost 15 years because of the high crown. I watched this video went out and bought a blue Rangers cap and did the blow drier trick and poof its perfect!!! Thanks!
I'm going to try this tomorrow. I got a Seahawks hat that I haven't worn because they take SO LONG to break in. My bill was of course, Flat, I put a ace wrap around it for about 2 days and that worked pretty good for the bill. Thanks for the info! Go Seahawks!
What a video, Being from the UK the flat billed look isn't common over here i don't think, Ive been wearing my cubbies 7 3/8 for nearly a year in pain but thanks to you i can wear it in comfort now!! Thank you
u r really my hero!! i just let a great cap and i didnt buy it just cuz it was flat!! tomorrow morning ill go shopping that cap!! finally the celtics cap and the NY yankees cap will b in my collection!
Just did 3 hats and it actually worked perfectly. I heated the 3 inside arches then fit my cap accordingly to shape it. After a minute or so the arch was lowered significantly. You can also apply the heat in front of the hat and curve it. As for the brim it's also a nice way to apply the heat underneath it.
Thanks a lot I have passed over so many hats because of the brim shape. I thought fashion had moved on too far for this. I tired this it took about 2 minutes and I'm happy with the results. :)
This video literally saved me over $300 dollars. I bought 8+ 5950 New Era hats online off of Lids, Hatland and New Era. They were all 7 1/2's with extremely high crowns. I've been trying to sell my brand new hats for $5 or give them to my buds with bigger domes then me. I found out all the 5950's that have this problem were made in China. I have 25 5950's, and the 9 that are made in China they're the only ones that look like this. The rest are made in the USA and fit fine.
Thanks for the help. I am about to buy my first fitted hat (have stayed away from them because of the high crown). Looking forward to getting the hat in now.
Thanks heaps for this vid! This might sound stupid but i had no idea you could shape these caps, and was pretty hesitant about getting a 59fifty cap because of it. Gonna order one now!
love it! gonna try it now! i just bought 2 A;s hats... home and away and will give it a whirl now. i used to do the water method which KINDA worked but i always ended up with a wrinkle in the forehead. i will try it without such a bend in the bill though... thanks again. GoalieRobb
My personal Hero! Hate those swaggers with the stickers on. Thnx to this tip I can wear 59fiftys. There are to less 39thirtys. The 59fiftys are way nicer and thanks to this tip, wearable!
Thank you!!!!!!!! The only hats that fit my Fat head are size 8 fitted hats. Nothing else. Fitted hats are high crown flatbills. You solved my problem!!!!!
Thank you so much for this i tried on a 59fifty the other day and looked like a big idiot, because the crown was too big. So i decided to just buy the golf nike hats, it just fit better and looks better on me. But i'll be trying this method out on the New Era hats i like em better because of the huge catalog they have and that nice embroidery on them.
I just ordered a few new hats and every one of them (minus the Patagonia) came with the most enormous crowns and flat brims I've ever seen.......I was so bummed. I put one on and my wife snickered. This SAVED all of them! I'm 44 not 14.
Good video! 59fifty's high crowns were always the reason that prevented me from getting into them. And you're right, I never understood the deal with the stickers haha
Thanks for this video I'm definitely going to give it a shot! I've been able to get a good curve in the bill of my hats but the high crown always looks weird.
man thanks so much i been doin the water trick or just wearing it out by wearing it snd it would take way too long...love this! i actuslly stopped buying these caps becaus eof the stupid high crown
Thank you so much, I've bought them for years and I've always used the shower method but this is a much better. I live in the UK and I agree the 59Fifty that are made in the USA are different and far superior to the ones made in China. I'll be using this method from now on.
I bought my hat one size too big and slightly dampened the panels I wanted to shrink with a wet wash rag. As I dampened the panels I had the blow dryer on high hot and it turned out perfect . Way better than running hit water through the hat.
I can't wait to try this. I like the look of new era hats (colors and embroidery) but HATE the flat brim and high crown. And the idiots who leave the stickers on them. Thanks for the video!
I love how people are mad at me for telling them how to wear their hats in the same breath that they are telling me how I should or shouldn't wear my hat.
Bet you're happy as a rangers fan at the moment
Thanks for the info. I wouldn't buy that type of hat until I just watched this, flat bill not my style. I am way too old for that, love your work here.
1033stein tried this for the first time last night on a hat that I had with the higher crown and it worked perfectly. You should get paid from New Era, love some of the Minor League hats but would never buy them until now. Thanks again!

luket905 Not everyone wants to wear a hat that still has the stickers on and with a super straight bill. Personally I think people look like douchebags when they wear hats like that
These comments are ridiculous. No sticker, with a sticker, bent, flat why does it matter!? Buy your hat and wear it how you want it, it's just a hat.
thats right dude ! These suckaz have nothing better to do. Not talking about the guy who made this video just talking about the stupid comments i see.
YOOO it's JaY And you're just a fucktard.
Yep fuck those dudes, just wear the hat how you want it. Curved or flat, who fucking cares, people are pathetic.
Stickers are nasty
It's not just a hat, for some people it's a part of their life and identity.
This is brilliant! I am a woman with a head so tiny I have to wear kid sizes and even those look utterly ridiculous because of the high crown. I honestly didn't think I could wear fitted hats but I recently found one that I couldn't resist so I tried this method and it worked perfectly.

Very helpful. I had pretty much given up on these hats because the annoying high crown. I tried this method and worked like a champ. Thank you!
You're my saviour, man! I've had two high crown caps for a while now which I really liked the design of but always looked awkward and goofy on me. This method sorted them right out!
really appreciate this! i have been trying to find a "good" fitting hat for years, didnt know i already had it!
This video helped so much. I don't wear my hats often because of how uncomfortable they typically are but this solved the problem 100%. Thanks!
Awesome! I felt the same way about New Era hats until I started working them in a little bit. Now they are all I wear. Remember it's a process.

Worked great...nice video just wanted to add that.
Awesome video...VERY helpful!!
Rock On!!
Thanks for the tip! The high crown has been the only reason I haven't purchased the 5950. Going to pick one up tonight and try it out!
Thank you so much. Best advice yet. I fixed two hats I have had for years and couldn't wear.
The sticker is not OK... I mean, I'm 17 and I don't wear the stickers... It's just.... NO
I never had and never will
I only keep the small mlb sticker under the bill.
Edm Legend yea the same for me i don't need to prove to everyone i bought a hat i know its real
Wonder why Lotta people care about the sticker.... My friends get extremely up in arms about the sticker coming off 😂
dude, amazing video. Ive been buying hats forever and hate the break in process. But this way is so quick and simple. Thank you
We used to use midday sun to do this with our little league hats. Of course it would take for ever, but it would work after a few tries. When I was older I discovered this as well lol.

We spent as much time on our hats as we did a new ball glove 😂
i know some people who wear fitted's were probably losing their mind when you bent the bill. lol.
That was hard to watch.
Broke my soul lol but I guess the style of hats is different for everyone, good job tho man nice break in
HEATED
This hurt me even though I wear both typed
Thanks for posting. I used to wear the deadstock look, but prefer a worn look now that I'm older. A lot of streetwear brands still use the 59 as a canvas & this will help me mold them. Screw these guys hating.

Rangers suck. Go Isles
Ya, I agree. The Glasgow Rangers sure do suck. O_o
New York ?
I was today years old when I learned you could "mold" a fitted cap. All this time I thought it was just a different style. *#Mindblown* 🤯🤯

Thank You for this instructional video, I am going home after work and shaping my high crown caps.
the curves on your hat are perfect,good shit.helped alot
Thanks so much for the tip! I really didn't want to wear a wet hat for hours on end waiting for it to dry!
You’re a legend.

Wow thanks so much for the longest time I thought the type of hat mattered I always thought to buy a hat that fit me perfect and now I know that all my previous hats can fit like my favorites thanks so much for the video

I doubted this method but I did it and wow!!!! SO EASY! Thank you so much !!!
Finally. It's really my fault for not searching for this sooner, but I have long been wondering how to do this. Thanks!
Thanks a lot I have passed over so many hats because of the brim shape. I thought fashion had moved on too far for this. I tired this it took about 2 minutes and I'm happy with the results. :)
Hey man I really like the way you did that. Did it to my Cubs hat and I'm happy how it turned out. Thanks for the advice bro
This video literally saved me over $300 dollars. I bought 8+ 5950 New Era hats online off of Lids, Hatland and New Era.
They were all 7 1/2's with extremely high crowns. I've been trying to sell my brand new hats for $5 or give them to my buds with bigger domes then me.
I found out all the 5950's that have this problem were made in China. I have 25 5950's, and the 9 that are made in China they're the only ones that look like this. The rest are made in the USA and fit fine.
thank you so much. i been trying to get hats to do this since i started wearing them
Hey man, just watched the video and felt like sending some positivity your way. I really liked your personality...keep it up and thanks for the info.
Terrific tip! Thanks!
Worked great man ! Thank you !
I tried it and it worked perfectly; you the man!
thank you i just got a hat in the mail and the crown was all high worked good
Thanks man ! Great tips
Thanks for the help. I am about to buy my first fitted hat (have stayed away from them because of the high crown). Looking forward to getting the hat in now.
And did you buy one? :)
Thanks heaps for this vid! This might sound stupid but i had no idea you could shape these caps, and was pretty hesitant about getting a 59fifty cap because of it. Gonna order one now!
love it! gonna try it now! i just bought 2 A;s hats... home and away and will give it a whirl now. i used to do the water method which KINDA worked but i always ended up with a wrinkle in the forehead. i will try it without such a bend in the bill though... thanks again. GoalieRobb
Thanks alot for this vid man! Got a wicked new hat but didn't want to wear it due to the high crown. Much appreciated!
Nice 1 for the tips, i'll try the moulding but with less of a arched peak for me.
thanks for the tip. worked like a charm
Thanks man. Worked perfectly after 2x. Props!
My personal Hero! Hate those swaggers with the stickers on. Thnx to this tip I can wear 59fiftys. There are to less 39thirtys. The 59fiftys are way nicer and thanks to this tip, wearable!
Thank you!!!!!!!! The only hats that fit my Fat head are size 8 fitted hats. Nothing else. Fitted hats are high crown flatbills. You solved my problem!!!!!
Thank you so much for this i tried on a 59fifty the other day and looked like a big idiot, because the crown was too big. So i decided to just buy the golf nike hats, it just fit better and looks better on me. But i'll be trying this method out on the New Era hats i like em better because of the huge catalog they have and that nice embroidery on them.
Very helpful video mate sorted out my crown issues perfectly!!
Thanks alot
Thanks man. Worked pretty well.
I just ordered a few new hats and every one of them (minus the Patagonia) came with the most enormous crowns and flat brims I've ever seen.......I was so bummed. I put one on and my wife snickered. This SAVED all of them!
I'm 44 not 14.
BAYERACUDA Glad it worked for you bro. They will look even better after multiple wears and a little bit of time.
Just tried this on my 5950 nfl sideline hat and it work. Thanks!
the only video that helps me. thanks bro.
This is the greatest video I've ever seen. Good job friend
Awesome tips man, thank you so much...I'll try this on my new hat :)
Good video! 59fifty's high crowns were always the reason that prevented me from getting into them. And you're right, I never understood the deal with the stickers haha
Thanks for this video I'm definitely going to give it a shot! I've been able to get a good curve in the bill of my hats but the high crown always looks weird.
Was this a wool cap or polyester? Does it work for both?
man thanks so much i been doin the water trick or just wearing it out by wearing it snd it would take way too long...love this! i actuslly stopped buying these caps becaus eof the stupid high crown
Yes, thank you, finally. I tried the water method but it wouldn't shrink the polyester hat. Good video
Sir, you are the man.
Worked great on the crown! Any suggestions, other than time, for getting the wrinkles to go away after shrinking the crown?
Man wish I had seen this video a while ago--hairdryer trick works great. No more dooshy looking hat.
thanks man is there any special way to bend the bill or do you just bend it like a regular hat?
Thank you so much, I've bought them for years and I've always used the shower method but this is a much better. I live in the UK and I agree the 59Fifty that are made in the USA are different and far superior to the ones made in China. I'll be using this method from now on.
Thanks man, this worked perfect on my New Era cap!
I bought my hat one size too big and slightly dampened the panels I wanted to shrink with a wet wash rag. As I dampened the panels I had the blow dryer on high hot and it turned out perfect . Way better than running hit water through the hat.
Nice to know it worked for you. Happy to help!
I can't wait to try this. I like the look of new era hats (colors and embroidery) but HATE the flat brim and high crown. And the idiots who leave the stickers on them. Thanks for the video!
