So What Do I Actually...Do?

Post by MiloFinch »

So I've got my hat, a Stetson. Been trying to bash it right for the last month or so. I play with it, shaping it, and I get it pretty decent, but after a while of wearing it, it all pops back to the way it was before.

The pinch in the front stays, but the crown dents works its way out, the side pockets work back to the original creases. Is there something else I'm supposed to be doing to get the hat to keep the shape?

You need to use some steam to set the bash. Steam activates the stiffeners. Use the search feature for more information on the use of steam.
