Hi.I am new to this forum here.I am usually to be found in the grail diary/prop section

I agree with the frog, but I think you shoul try a TOD pinch an gen a much better looking hat, as it's almos impossible to untaper it.

I would wet the pinch, then try to open its base like this photo and let it dry.
Here there are many Top Men experts on hats who may tell you batter advices.

Pressing the pinch against a flat object such as a ruler might help to loosen it up.
