How to fix a tight hat 

My father was a logger farmer and cowboy. He died when I was six years old. All my life his hat has been sitting on a shelf. I could never wear it because his head was a tad smaller than mine. Applied a little steam and it fits now. It means a lot to me to look in the mirror and see my dad looking back... Thank you for this.

I looked at some useless stuff then saw this. These guys warmed my heart and told me simply how to to what I want done. A man who knows what's up. Thanks

I knew there would be someone old school on here that knew how to do this without buying a fancy gadget. Old school myself, always look for the simplest and cheapest solution a FIRST. Thanks! Subscribed!

This guy's awesome. Talk about 'low key' an' easy goin'. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the help! Just got a military wool cap & will try it with this.

I used a tea kettle to make the steam and then stretched it-- worked like a charm.

This man makes even a Scout from Sardinia, Italy like me feel at home. He knows how get things done, thanks Sir

I.ve tried with the iron steamed and it workerd!👍 Thanks and have fun, man!🙏

Recently bought my first hat and quickly came to realize it's too tight! Your video is simple and instructive. The only problem was you stood too far from the camera and i could not understand your instructions very well. Nonetheless i thank and salute you from Greece. Wish you the best and thank you!! 😊

Cheers mate used the kettle worked a treat

You guys put some joy un my day!

Loved the warmth from both, will be following the advice, greetings from Sunny Somerset, England.

Brilliant, thanks Grizz. I just need to enlarge my Fedora by about 5mm. Being English & living in England it's quite difficult to get a Fedora! I have wet the band & with leave it on for 6 days! Just kidding, I will force it on for 30 mins or until I pass out! Thanks Grizz, You're a star. All the best to you both.......

Awesome video....so funny!....Great tip that is going to help me a lot now...Thank you!!

You have a very nice hat. I like it . my hat got wet and shrunk some, I will try your method and see if it works out for me. Thanks

This is a precious video! It made me so happy! Thank you :)

This dude seems like a fun guy to be around! ha

I wanted to tried this but as the hat had a liner inside I was at a loss as what to do. I didn't want to cut out the liner and rune the hat.

Would it work with a bucket hat

I don't know why, but this guy reminds me of Keith Richards.

Thank You for the Felt Hat Stretch Tips! We all just saw Custer's Retirement Job if he hadn't a got fatally killed up on Little Big Horn.

Hi there does this work with hats made of straw?

Much appreciated.

Does this also appy to wollen hats? I've heard wool gets tighter with agitation, water and heat

Gracias Luguer 🤙

Got a hat Stetson just the other day. First ever cowboy hat. A tad too tight. Leaves a slight red mark on my forehead. Gonna give this a try. Wish me luck.

What kind of hat is the one he is using Looks cool.. GN

Your Hats look very nice and the Sweatband looks much more comfortable then a Leather One plus it won't shrink on you. Thank you so much!

Appreciate the video, in the past I fought with a clothes iron.

This guy is a RDR2 npc and I love it.

Thank you helped alot

My head is somewhere between 22 and 5/8ths to 22 and 7/8ths. If I buy the 22 5/8ths is there enough give there to stretch it to 7/8ths if needed? Never purchased a real, authentic hat before.

Im about to try this. My grandfathers hat is way to tight for my head so I hope this works thanks

Straight to the point , options . Can’t ask for more ❤ from Texas .

Okay, so I was gifted a medium sized hat... but, I have a big a** head. I'm thinking a large. Would this help with that big of a stretch? Thank you so much

What style hat is that? I love the shape, very unique.

finally some good content

does like also work with the palm leaf hat

That's a fine lookin' hat!

Lol "i like 6 days" Thanks for the advice!!!

This is what I was looking for awesome! But I have a problem that is that, do I have to remove the leather inside the hat or without removing the leather? Please help 🆘

What do you call that style hat !?!? I love that shape !!

Does this work for rabbit fur felt hats?

Wonder if he makes moonshine as well brilliant information .

WOW I want some of what these guys are on

I have a Stetson cowboy hat and iTs a little small I might try this! Thanks lol 😂

I’ve got my great grandpas Resistol Beaverskin hat that is a reproduction of Bob Evans (the restaurant guy)’s hat, and it’s always been a tiny bit too small to get down on my head since he gave it to me before he passed away. Thanks for the video, I’m off to boil a pot of water. I’m going to try to reshape the front of the brim to fold down, as it is the brim is up all the way around and it would hold an inch of rain lol.

how far can a hat stretch?

Thus dude is awesome

Como endurece las texana me puede pesar la receta

my cat pissed on my hat and it got way too tight for my watermelon of a head after cleaning it, so tight that i couldn't just stretch it out through regular use 'cause I'd give myself too many migraines eighty bucks saved with this video, and its still a damn good hat if a bit tight, thanks man

Handy tips! 😃

Love it! 😂

Gonna get me plews gathered up and order me one of them fine looking top knot covers.

This is too sweet lol

You guys r cool

Does griz make top hats?!?

I cant believe this can be done! I've got a hat that's just a 1/4 of an inch, or maybe 1/2 of an inch to narrow for my beautiful old dome. I bought it really as a joke, to wear to a party. But I damn near paid the full price for it too, it says 59 dollars on the inside. I paid 59 euros. Now, I see it's a Stetson, that means tradition. Don't ask me how I know that. But this Russian knows. A stetson hat is not a joke. You don't just throw it away if it don't fit. At least you find someone who wants it and give it away, because man-hours went into producing this thing. Anyway, what I notice: The wool is uniformly compacted and the hat screams 'made in the good ol' usa', with love with quality and longevity in mind. Just as it used to be, when it actually mattered. As I said... it's too narrow form me, but, the thing is.. When it pours rain, you don't want to use one of your hands to hold a flimsy umbrella, and trust me it tends to pour when it first rains, here in middle-Europe (continental weather), ...I live in Berlin. I can wear the hat as it is, and it protects me from the rain, but it sits just a little bit too high to look and feel comfortable. Dang me! I'm gonna try and stretch it! When I'm done, i'll wear it with me every day during the summer-rainy days, on my back on a leather strap/string like it don't mean nothing. And when the rain finally comes and err-body do run under roofs away from the rain or they try and struggle with the wind, keeping their flimsy umbrellas from breaking, I'm just going to pop that hat on my head and treat the rain as a good old friend that I haven't seen for a good 12 months. Greetings from a Russian. I appreciate your culture! thanks for the tips. I'm going to stretch this wool thing. I understand how to treat it now.

Lol thank you 🙏

Tecnically not a problem... Many peeps did that already He just seated the hat Lol I order em 2 sises to small Makes a bell shap to the hat But fits insaly well

Good idea. I steamed my Scaly cap with a tea kettle which may have helped a little but not enough. I am looking at hat stretchers online.

You guys are funny. Thanks for the tips. We got there. haha

This is one of the best and most useful videos I have seen of late.

He is so cute

You make the tight hat a bit loose.

cool

you sure you can skin grizz?

Cheeeeeeeerz m888 🤠

Was he i the movie The Revenant?

Tell Griz that this is too complicated for my feeble mind. I’ll bring my hat 🎩 to the SWRR and he can stretch it for me there. 👍🏼

Good info but the volume disparity between his and her voices is terrible.

I bought one which is more of a large than an extra large, so I will try taking a steaming hot shower while wearing it, and then jamming a wadded up bath towel inside there and leaving it to dry that way.

I heard a rip
