How-To: If Your Hat Feels Too Tight

Over time, your hat may shift with wear, temperature, or as it settles after shaping. A few simple adjustments can restore the fit and make it feel right again. 

 

Follow the instructions below (or watch the video) to learn how to use a hat stretcher for a more secure and comfortable fit.

 

  1. Order a hat stretcher like the one here.
  2. Once received, turn your hat upside down and insert the stretcher until it's level with the sweatband.
  3. Turn the knob until it fits snugly without needing support.
  4. Continue turning the knob to gently expand the fit.
  5. Leave the stretcher in place for 24 hours, then remove and try on your hat.
  6. If needed, repeat the process until you achieve our ideal fit.
