If you don't have a steamer, you can use a tea kettle or anything that creates steam. You could even just boil water on the stove and hold the hat over it, doing your best to focus on the brim area.
I didn’t have a steamer so I had to get creative lol I got a pot, filled it with water and let it come to a boil. Held the hat over the steam and followed the rest of the steps 👌🏽
I've occasionally worn 59FIFTYs over the year and I've just tried this method and I'm in utter disbelief to how good this works. Have some Supreme ones and Yankees hat that now look perfect! Thank you good lad
Just did this. Worked perfect. Used the boiling water in pot method. Held brim over pot with tongs lol you won’t see steam but the hat definitely takes on the heat and moist and becomes very pliable. Thx for the solid to the point demo
No steamer is needed. Just persistence, my friend. Growing up playing baseball got me in this habit... even in the 80s if I saw a flat brimmed cap I always thought "poor bastard never had anyone show him the proper way... may the force be with ypu brother"
Worked great! I don’t have a steamer so I used a kettle with a bandana around the spout to concentrate the steam into a thicker cloud, I repeated the process twice to make sure it was locked in and it worked like a charm!
He's actually not wrong with the whole thermos or yeti water bottle thing. If you've got a bigger head like me go for that and it will actually hold the curve for your head better rather than loosing it's shape when you stick it on your head or worse have it poking you in the head while wearing it giving you a headache in your sinuses. Hope this helps
I watched this vid and was like "that's easy" and as other posters have said, totally saved me time vs some other vids telling stories. Thanks Lids and Thanks Proffitt.
If you don’t have a steamer, just boil some hot water and hold the cap above the boiling steam of water for 30 seconds. Proceed to curve the brim using your Stanley cup. Done and done.
In Australia, Lids are often selling quite nice designs that are only in flat brim but for like CRAZY cheap, whereas the 49Forty and ones that have a curved peak are much more expensive and not in the same designs.
Yes because the heat makes the plastic malleable, but once it cools down again it goes rigid. This is actually how the 39Thirty and 49Forty range are curved from new.
If you curve the brim yourself with the hat on prior to steaming it you should get an idea of how it'll fit. As far as I'm concerned, the hat always fits soooo much better once the brim is curved.
Maybe try again and steam longer, top and bottom, nooks and crannies; until everything is pliable; also maybe hold longer around the bottle, if that's what you're doing.
Completely agree. Cause after watchin’ another video of a ‘RU-vidr’ using this identical method last week, I decided to try this on one of my hats. Except instead of using a steamer to soften up the brim, I just boiled a big ass pot of water on the stove, held brim above said boiling water for no more than a minute tops & what do you know, it worked like a mofo’in charm, as well. Getting the exact same result as this cat got. If not even better, in my humble opinion.
You don't need a steamer. Boiling water works as well. But definitely something to make the brim softer definitely helps. Bc, when you get the shape you want and allow it to cool down, that curve is pretty crispy. It's pretty convenient if you don't want to keep hand curving your hat throughout the day
I mean that's not a steamer just for ✌️"Hats"✌️. It's mainly for clothes but u can use it on a lot of othet fabrics. I have one cuz I don't have space anymore in my studio and don't wanna take 20mins to iron out wrinkles out my clothes when.l u can do it in seconds.
@@why-why-whywhywhy bro I stg I was thinking of doing the same method once I seen another video and since u just proved it to me that it works I’m def about to do 💀
Why would you want to curve your hat? They don't sell the hat like that so does that "C" shape have some kind of racial meaning? What could a BIG "C" stand for?
