This method was of great help. Just watched your video and tried it on a felt hat that was crushed by accident by tire tracks! I was very glad to see the shape come back. The hat is usable again. Thanks!

I was about to order a steamer, but thanks for reminding me...A TEA KETTLE I have. :)

Thanks for the video! My hat has been crushed a few times. I'm gonna steam it and see if I can get it back to looking brand new again.

What about a hat that was worn outside during a rain storm and now after doing this the hat has lost all shape retention?

my hat is a floppy hillbilly hat and Im trying to make it like the Australian ww2 hat. do I need to use clothing starch at anytime during the process?

I'm looking to RE-SHAPE a nice old Bailey felt hat that took on a different shape after being caught in a DELUGE. Although this bloke seems like a nice guy he didn't really RESHAPE either of the two hats he steamed. I will keep looking for a more in-depth video showing a full reshaping process.

Thank you for this simple method.
Good to know I don’t have to go out and spend money

What if the brim of the hat I got is straight/flat and kind of droops down, but I want it rolled up at the sides kind of 'cowboy' hat like. Can I steam and roll it or something?

[acaciahoney]

Is there a way to make a previously formed hat into a rounded crown? Or once it's stamped/mounded that's how it stays?

[kimmywimmy]

Is it possible to form a wool felt fedora to tilt one side of the brim up? Like in Joe vs the Volcano, without a button holding it up?

[jazzman]

Could I steam a side pinch into my stiff Homburg?

[romkedeboer]

I tried thisand though the crown has returned to its normal shape, the brim keeps returning to its floppy state. Any help?

[whistlingbadger]

I have a wool felt fedora with a wave in the brim. I steamed it and lay it flat, but as soon as it cooled off the wave came back. Any pointers?

stratoliner fedora hat is a crossover of a dress hat and cowboy hat
is a dress hat is a 1940s style call the whippet
the ready made hats are made with thinner materials
the all felts hats are the cheapest, poorly made, fit badly? they will
shrink, when wet, no leather hat band with no liner?
the better made hats are rabbit felts
the all time best hats come from the 1940s rare
all beaver felts, leather hat band, satin liner
sell for a high price if you can find one?
Whippet style all beaver is the best sellers of all time
the mostly come in white or gray black and browns
are hard to come by
crossover hats are the best because you ware distressed out fits and look, ok? wheelchair larry
