Purchased a hat on line. Upon opening the package, I discovered my hat was crashed.So I googled how to straighten a straw hat and you showed up on KZfaq. WOW I watched your video and I almost forgot that I had a steamer. The steamer solved the problem now my hat looks great thanks again! 😅

I wasn't paying attention and my movers packed my beautiful felt hat at the bottom of a box full of clothes and shoes.........praying your method works! EDIT:: it did!!! I know its just a hat, but it looks new again. Thanks for your video ❤️. Additionally, I ordered some hat stiffener (Brickmore Kahl). I will edit my comments again letting you know how it went!

Bought a beautiful hat in Italy that got CRUSHED in my suitcase on my way back home. Dude, this video saved it! Steaming it worked perfectly! Thank you for this!!!

Thank you Sir! I accidentally eft my wool Kangol Mowbray Pork Pie Hat in my car for a few weeks and the summer heat caused it to fold and warp. I will try this out and post my results. Side note, whoever shot and edited this did a stellar job on the colors and skin tones. Aces

What seems to be the issue with the band?

@ricardoearellanes7293 Жыл бұрын

I have a Scala 'New Yorker' Fadora which has a leather sweatband and looks just like the red one you were fixing and the blue one you showed (expect it is grey). With that being said, do I only steam the outside of the hat or is there a different way to steam the inside?

@s_gents Жыл бұрын

Hi Mr. Arellanes, You can steam from the inside or outside, however, it's typically easier to steam gently from the outside to target the areas that need fixing and attention. Hope this helps. 👍🏼

Great question sir! You can find the hat stiffener in the link below. For a water based varnish, try any home building department store in your area i.e. (Home Depot or Lowe's) and they will surely have some in stock!

Because leather is such a delicate material, if you intend to steam it, please use a VERY very low level of steam, and steam from the inside of the hat.
