Thanks!! I had accidentally put some heavy junk on top of my favorite straw fedora and smooshed it, but it looks good as new after trying this!

Thank you very much. This worked great. A hat I had ordered online came absolutely smashed and bent and this technique made it completely straight again😄

[elisatantarimaki]

Thank you so much for sharing this tip! My beautiful straw hat now looks new, after it got crushed during travel.

Thank you very much! I just bought a straw hat and was thinking of reshaping its brims a bit so that it curls up in the back and down in the front. You're a savior! This is a really fast and safe method

What are the more floppy hats called vs the kinds hard hats called, what makes them hard is it the type of straw is there like a primer on them?

[FinalFantasyIXIIII]

Is this for a certain type of straw or will it work on any kind of straw?

[felixt]

Saved my arse, was about to get yelled at because I squashed my mums hat with a heavy book, found this video and the hat is now un-squashed

[juliekadams]

I have a seagrass hat that has gotten floppy and flimsy, so steaming is not necessary to "soften" it. It couldn't be softer. How can I stiffen it back up?

[donaldvincent]

Thanks! You saved my favorite toyo straw hat. God Bless

[velvetgloveMD]

Great advice! Does it work on woven hemp as well?

[pseudonamed]

Will this work even if it's seriously crumpled up and creased all over?

[ethnicalbert]

these hats are in nearly perfect condition XD

[MrsCaviar]

OMG! I always check the weather because I know water messes up straw hats but I've been caught in flash storms and wrecked a couple hats. 😭 THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🥰

[claybakin]

Great video, thank you! I had given up on ever wearing my cute straw hat again! (Love your darling accent, by the way.)

[NyGreggUSA]

I did this to my straw hat and let it sit with weight on it overnight and the next day it popped right back to the bad shape. How do I keep it from doing that?

[jennyandthemachines]

Fab! Can you reshape a hat into a new shape in this way? I had to unpick a hat and sew back together again to fit my extra-large head (60cm!!). Can I steam and sit it on a ball to round the top a little?
