A have a leather cap that i want to stretch with a hat stretcher i just got. Do i have to steam it too? Or just with the stretcher will be ok? Is a leather skull cap! I don't want to damage it! Please can you give me a tip of how to do it properly?
I found your video very informative. My head measures 61cms. I’ve tried hats in the size and they fit back and front but with gaps at the sides. So, apparently I have a long oval head shape. Soft wool unlined hats in that size seem to fit well. What size should try? I do have a hat stretcher.
if you got more on the topic, please do share - i cant find proper information on this, most 'reshaping you hat' articles/videos are about crushed hats and not about the basic shape (which seem essential if, like me, one has got a more oval head shape). thanks man
Leather is a great material, that has the capacity to both expand and contract. Sometimes when you wear a hat a lot, is will slightly stretch to conform to your head shape. If you don't wear a hat for some time though, and especially if it is stored in a warm place, it will shrink. Generally, from our experience, hats will have a tendency to slightly shrink over time.
another great video, keep'em coming buddy! 👍😉
Enjoyed your passion for hats man...just bought my first and its just a bit to tight so will try your technique.
Doing a good job dude!
I was just about to email you and ask this very question. Thanks for the videos, they are very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good video. Thanks!

Is it any way to compress a hat?
Doesn't leather naturally stretch after wearing it for a while?

My husband wants a Raylan Givens hat so bad. They don't come in an 8!
