I have a Camptown fedora that just doesn't fit as well as it once did.
Maybe my head got too big?
Anyway, has anyone ever heard of stretching a hat?
The hat is a 7 1/8 which is my usual size, but it's a bit too tight.

Re: Stretch It Out
If it just a bit tight, using a hat stretcher should take care of it.
Something like this.

And you can leave the hat on it when its not on your head, to help keep it the right size.

Re: Stretch It Out
Wet the underside of the sweat band then put stretcher on. It might take a few times to set in.
Re: Stretch It Out
If it's several years old (as a Camptown Fedora would be), it probably needs to be reblocked at this point anyway. There's plenty of excellent choices here: Penman and David Garrison stand out in my mind as two of the best. Regards,

Re: Stretch It Out
I sure do appreciate the help.
A reblock is probably a good idea.
Thanks again.
