Wow really helpful advice! My hat was always ever so slightly small for my head, but after trying that trick with my knee it's just right now! Thanks!

[KirbyBWebb]

Thanks ! I never knew that reshaping these hats was so easy !

I know this video is 2 years old now, but the knee stretching method totally worked on my hat that I thought was too small. Very much appreciated! I must disclose I own a Barmah, but now I for sure will check out Conner if I'm ever in the market for another hat!

This is great. I’ve got an awesome hat that got out of shape. Fixing it seems so simple and easy.

Thanks for the hat tips!

Fantastic.... yes left that hat in the car and I'm in the US so was going to be hard to find another hat that fit just as perfectly as this one did. Bingo - fixed and reshaped courtesy of your video. Glad I didn't have to pass this one down to my kiddo.

Many thanks for this great video! I purchased my BC hat just on 35 years ago and I did exactly what you said in the video and left it in the back of my car for a few weeks. I went to put it on and of course it had shrunk. I was devastated as this hat had become a prized possession. But by using your "Knee stretch" it has come back to a good fit. Many thanks fo saving my old friend! Cheers, Doons

Thank you so very much for your excellent advise!
I almost trashed my Rogue leather hat having worn it in DR Congo while working for Food for the Hungry five years plus several years back in Cape Town. It looks as good as new now. I used Kiwi dark brown polish because I could lay my hands on Saddle soap.

Hi, just wanted to thank you, I used your knee method to stretch out a hat I bought that was a touch too small and it fits now, so thanks!

If I have a stiff leather hat the brim and Crown are quite stiff. How can I shape them both crown and brim and have them hold their shape

Can you make a video how to shape a wireless leather hat?
