FYI for those that are too lazy to sew (like i was), here's a quick fix: open your first aid kit and grab that little bandage hook fastener (the one with the metal hook clips attached to a piece of elastic material). Works perfect and requires zero effort!

This is the best way to downsize your hat. I used a piece of elastic from my boxers lol. Thanks bro

Great fix. These mesh hats always seem to be a bit larger than standard fitted. For me that is. I knew there had to be a solution. Thanks! You earned a subscriber.

I used this method but instead of sewing the elastic to the outer part of the sweatband, I flipped the sweat over and sewed the elastic to the other side so it's not visible plus when I put my cap on I don't brush up against the piece of elastic.

Awesome tip...thank you Brother!!! My two new New Era caps will hopefully fit me now...

Do you think a can use this method on a angler bucket hat?

It also works with flexfit caps. Thanks a lot for this Video!!

gonna try this...thanks for the excellent tip.

Does this work for 39thirty

Thanks for the tip bro ...works perfect

Heck yea. I am buying all of hats I find now. Lol

Very great 👍 Thank you 😊

Small piece of Velcro, works like a charm.

What type of fabric is used to make the cap?

Thank you so much!!

Thanks for the video! How thick of an elastic?

Give me the link from where i can buy those caps

Thanks a lot sir

I just brought a neo hat its fitted and flexed hat, I was wondering can I shrink it it's S/M and I wear Size 7 1/8 if it can shrink is it necessary shrink it

thanks

People.. does this trick work?

Tnx

This also work on oversize pant, jean too. :)

How long should I cut the elastic?

Is there a way to upsize

Do I see the elastic to the inside of the band and hat together

Are you sewing that just to the sweat band?

Have you tried using the foam tape technique? If so did you prefer that method or this one? Great vid btw

what r u using?

Thx soo much it worked like a bomb

Looks like you have a NPB cap there.

NPB hat

wouldn't this be irritating on the back of your head though? kinda like tags on the back of a shirt? i hate that. And i don't want it to look wrinkled around the outside of my head because of the elastic strap. that would just look really weird. It would probably make the hat look non fitted around the top of the hat around your head. I was kinda looking for a more sophisticated way of doing this. like the way a tailor would do to it or a milliner? I just watched something about soaking your hat in almost boiling water for a while then putting it on and letting it dry. Also some hat bills have cardboard in them (this would mess it up) if it was plastic inside it would be ok. But tailors or milliners would probably take out the seams and cut then sew it back to make it smaller. Granted it would cost almost or even more than what you paid for the hat to get this done, but if it is sentimental then i guess it would be worth it to just take it to a tailor or milliner.

Why don't you just buy your size instead of downsizing a bigger cap? WTF
