How to break in a New Era 59Fifty cap.

Hate the boxy look? Here's how to get rid of it.

[@BullToTheShit]

Lol, "if you don't have a sink, you're out of luck". I guess homeless people will be stuck with a boxy-shaped Era 59Fifty cap.

[@josecazares2191]

Word around is he is still wearing the hat to this day.

[@austintoot5888]

Why is milk coming out of your faucet

[@FlockinChikinz]

XD lol not sure why but hot water tends to have more bubbles

[@noblehomework6023]

LOL I saw the same thing!!!!

[@ReelKG]

Cloudy water, also known as white water, is caused by air bubbles in the water. It is completely harmless. It usually happens when it is very cold outside because the solubility of air in water increases as water pressure increases and/or water temperature decreases. Learn some science.

[@jodystepp7631]

Its called HOT water, looks cloudy

[@1stGenRex]

just got my first 59fifty and I am in the process of doing this (cap is still VERY slightly moist) it's looking better already. YOU ARE AWESOME

[@MrThamesview93]

"The reason why you don't wanna get it on the brim.." then he soaks the brim LOOL

[@KnowBuddyKnows]

So pumped on this. Just tried it with one of the hats i have that looked soooo boxy and it got rid of the points completely. No wrinkles at all and i used a dry wash rag instead of paper towels and it actually stretched out a little bit to a bigger size. Thanks a lot man.

[@GR-nx3do]

10% thanking the user for tips 90% talking about how the water is foggy

[@orlandow1723]

Cool video bro... Outstanding and useful information, but I am worried about that hard water....

[@Viking-Surfer]

Hey man Great advice. From using this video my hat is now the perfect shape! I didn't however use the paper towels as I felt it might make my hat too loose. Instead I just kept my hat on for most the day until it dried ..a little uncomfortable but well worth it in the end! Thanks again.

[@zigzagry]

I use a similar method to this (but usually for snap backs) just to lower the crown of the hat. Same idea. I work the high spots slightly to soften them, but instead of wearing the hat until it's dry I stuff a towel inside of it and make it the shape that I'd like. Then let it dry. It's obviously easier with a snap back because it's adjustable so shrinkage is not an issue.

[@smackroscoe]

Tried this with a 80% poly/20% wool and did make the whole hat look much more even and cylindrical. It did shrink the size somewhat but that is what I wanted a tighter fit. I did it 2x with the same hat without the paper towels with a nice result.

[@Viking-Surfer]

Hey man! Great advice, got my hat to the perfect shape from watching this video.. I didn't however use the paper towels as I felt it might make the hat loose! I just kept my hat on all day until it dried, not entirely comfortable but worth it in the end! Cheers

[@hattorihanzo2275]

Laughing at all the people that have, apparently, never seen hot water coming out of a faucet before.

[@ESmith]

If anyone is interested, his water is cloudy because of air bubbles not because it's nasty.

[@lmCIoudz]

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I don't know why this video has so many dislikes. Thanks bro

[@leemccaw4148]

if you dont have a sink your outa luck :) Love it man hehe

[@666lbSquid]

Great method! Obviously this works best with the wool, but I had some success with a poly. I also cut out that mesh inside the crown. I had tried using a heat gun and a screen printing dryer to fit the hat right before with some success, but this is much easier way with less chance of ruining your hat.

[@L0LZ3R0]

Thanks dude, your tip was wery welcome ! :DD now I have perfectly snapbacks that fit perfect and look even better ;)

[@captainjack8319]

Very helpful, thank you for explaining your method. I just bought a cap and will try to do this.

[@JoshSkate98]

That was really smart, that heled me A LOT !! Thanks man

[@christopherbc07]

This was very helpful. Thanks!

[@WforBogart]

thanks, one of my friends wanted to get rid of that boxy look too, and i've explained to him, with your help of course

[@PiLLsBurYd0uGhBoy]

to all you guys saying his water is nasty....the reason it looks like that is because its hot. its the steam in the water making it look like that. go run your faucet as hot as possible into a cup and look into it. looks the same . if you let it sit it will become clear like normal water.

[@BIGj4Prez]

I think it's a matter of opinion. I think you look fine with the boxy hat look, as do many other people. I don't even notice the weird look you talk about. Nonetheless, I also like how it looks after. I'm just incredibly nervous to do this to any of my hats.

[@dcfanchris]

Thanks for the tips. real nice cap collection that you have there by the way.

[@Raksasa187]

this saved me from looking like a fucktard, thanks!!

[@gekkery8592]

Oh shit! It wrked 😂thx man

[@fuerlingerp]

Dude the boxy look is just perfect! And i leave the stickers on it too! And i dont bend my shield! :O

[@Jl111145]

I tried the method and it worked really well

[@felipe1988ify]

Thanks bro it's saved all my hats

[@rclover828]

Good video dude, it work for me as I'm between sizes. Size 7 is too tight and Size 7 1/8 is too big. So I tried ur method and got it wet with hot wear it wet on my heand unil it dries and now I fits perfectly. Thanks for the helpful vidwo.

[@cj1653]

Brilliant. Thanks for the tip!

[@mimalex]

thumbs up if you know it's not dirty water, but water with tiny air bubbles in it.

[@AGook99]

Worked really well, thanks buddy

[@SilentDiaz44]

Hey bro thanks this helped A LOT!!

[@MegaEditNation]

your water is really cloudy!! btw nice hats ! great vid

[@TheMightyJonazz]

wow thanks man! im gonna try it out. great vid ;)

[@janssenhilker]

Shweet worked well for me, no more giant crown. Looks great.

[@dchia29]

Do you live in Flint Michigan? Why's the water so dirty

[@gurolosen9349]

the water isn't dirty. the colour is like that because the water is hot

[@maksimvuksan9764]

its hot water idiot

[@OfficialkratFOZ]

have you never seen bubbles in hot water before?

[@maksimvuksan9764]

+animelover98 are you fucking stupid?

[@OfficialkratFOZ]

Savage Troller who the fuck are you? My comment is in reply to dx Wolf I'm not even talking to you. In the case you misread my comment, I suggest you re-read it, it is in agreement to you.

[@taz98spin]

Wow, thanks for this video! I just started wearing hats, and I felt ridiculous wearing them with a big crown..

[@diaperbreath]

ive had 5950s that looked like it did when it was wet, thats how i like them too look almost like one of the softer cotton hats but the 5950, when i saw it when it was wet i was like yes! this kid just solved all my problems then it dried and i was like yea it looks better but not perfect, good thinking tho maybe one more time under the water

[@salito42]

this was so weird, i was looking at hat videos and came apon this and laughed becuase i used to love your card videos ahah thanks for the tip ben

[@cballsg]

thanks man! took about three rounds to get it about right though.

[@MrJerryArredondo]

I've been doing this for years. This guy is absolutely, 100% on about the process to mold the hat to your head or just the way you want it. It always takes me about 5-8 times to get it just right for me. I noticed that wearing my hat for an entire season will make it look just like I want it but by the time it looks cool, I had to wash it or get another hat since all of the sweat from the year took its toll. I realized it was the sweat that got the hat like that.

[@123matchbox]

OMG thank you this helped me out extemly i thot about throwin this hat away then i tried this and i love it so thank u

[@iMstrKrft]

Woot!!! I'm gonna try this method and if that doesn't work then i'll try the shower method. Thanks bro!

[@princeali200]

thx buddy ,great info and advice

[@aceofspadeslandscapelesson8219]

Dude you're awesome thanks for the vid. Nice hat collection too.

[@mattb9351]

does this work on the MLB on-field polyester hats?

[@ExtremePeanut]

This helped me a lot thanks.

[@iTJC00L]

Cloudy water, also known as white water, is caused by air bubbles in the water. It is completely harmless. It usually happens when it is very cold outside because the solubility of air in water increases as water pressure increases and/or water temperature decreases. Cold water holds more air than warm water. In the winter, water travels from the reservoir which is very cold and warms up during its travel to your tap. The air that is present is no longer soluble, and comes out of solution.

[@chris20nyy]

@JKelly30 That's what hot water looks like, ever see hot water before?

[@billywmurphy]

Worked like a charm!!!!!

[@outwest100]

Dude, What you need is that New Era recap kit or the one from nu-cap. they shape the cap and the inflatable cap form will save those caps that shruck. It works alot better than your head. but a good idea.

[@rclover828]

Good Video!! This works really well.

[@TyWMayer]

worked great man, thanks.

[@SchwartzVideo]

Upvote if you wish your water was white like mine

[@cnalls83]

This really worked well thanks.

[@EthenAsuncionWithAnE]

just used this technique on my yankees snapback hat! greaaat job :P

[@jondouglas1001]

North Korea just said if that's what runnin water looks like they don't want it

[@josiaskure7377]

The reason why the water is like that, could be because there is bubbles in the water, if he put water in a glass, and let the bubbles get away from the water, it will be crystal clear again :) I have tryed this once, its fine to drink and dosn't taste of anything other than water! :) - i am not the best at english, but i hope you got what i was trying to say :) Peace out

[@chrisferreira00]

I agree, could you do one on how to shrink it?

[@dominionn09]

Nice shirt brother! Go CAPS!

[@omarsaidful]

Dam he got a lot of fitteds wonder how he felt wen we switched to snapbacks lol

[@hughesmax]

'Try not get water on the brim' *proceeds to soak brim everytime

[@fuelbasti]

Funny. You can find everything on YT. Even the solution of my "problems". By the way, do you know if there is a name for this typical round brim shape of a field cap?

[@marcelpf]

Hi! Really good video. I have two questions: 1) This method works with new MLB hats (100% polyester)? 2) How can I get the same beautiful rounded brim?

[@ericengland7734]

All you're really doing is washing the starch out of the crown. Clothing starch is what holds the crown so high and gives it that boxy shape. I don't see why this wouldn't work for snapbacks. I myself am a snapback guy, and I prefer the high crown, box shaped look. AKA "off the rack" look. To each their own. Above all, I don't know why you're picking on this kid for his methods and his water. He's trying to help you, and he seems to know what he's doing. My water isn't perfectly clear either, I believe it has a lot to do with where you live. Nice collection by the way, I like your orange color variants. If only they had a high crown, flat brim, and snaps in the back, I'd probably to try to barter with you :D

[@hazzhall88]

This is a good video, and even if it does screw the hat up it's like £25 over here to get a new one, no big deal!

[@Lessz959]

Nice vid really helps

[@tplh]

@InvisibleXplosion I agree! I wear the hat and even sweat in them and the stickers are not necessary when the hat is absorbing the sweat in the sweltering heat.

[@yomamaspussyhole]

What brand of paper towels do you recommend? I like bounty but dawny is good as well. Thanks for the help

[@CuriousPug12]

It has to be a warm water or it can be done whatever the temperature of the water?

[@TillMyDemise]

75% of these comments is about his dirty water and not the hat method

[@christiansbeastly]

holy shit you're caps are plentiful i like

[@outwest100]

I shape my caps! Get the RECAP inflatable shaping kit from New ERA also Nu-Cap makes one you can buy on line for like $30.00 they work

[@lewisjom]

Would you recommend getting a size up for this method? Meaning I am a 7 3/8 but don't want it to shrink to a 7 1/8, would you recommend buying a 7 1/2 just in case?

[@nicknicknick123321]

would you still recommend this method even though they have changed some of the materials on the 5950?

[@tkhan.91]

I need a sure fire way to shrink a hat .. i like to have my hats actually tighter then most people would that is why I need to figure out how to shrink it.

[@SeanjWalker]

@BiHSoLo i did that with a recently bought new era and it worked just fine. you dont even have to get the whole thing wet btw, just the rim on the inside. wear it around the house or whatever, and it eventually will start fitting to your head more and more (if its not gigantic lol.)

[@digitalnicko1]

Ppl who have done it on snapbacks should post a video response of it.

[@MrDzilla257]

worked great thanks bro

[@jigzydeez7146]

Thanx for sharing mate!

[@MrCuriousFurious]

If you don't have a sink you are NOT out of luck. If you are a bum, the following instructions apply 1) Find a puddle, a neighbor's hose, or a Local McDonalds, and drink as much water as you can. 2) Wait 30-40 minutes 3) Once you have the sudden and great urge to pee, take your New Era hat (which you probably stole) and pee into the crown area of the hat. Try to control your pee stream, turn it on and off for maximum length of that warm urine being distributed on your hat. 4) Wear the hat!

[@transfolmer88]

isn't Horchata Water????? 🤔

[@derwomitdemwolftanzt]

going to use this on my huf snapback cuz the crown drives me crazy

[@0-0-0-2]

Did anyone else notice his gross ass water

[@mikepolo5920]

That hat is kinda dope

[@Joediamond91]

is it possible to shrink the cool base 100% polyester fitteds??

[@chrisstrickland6852]

I was a hat wearer in my youth. In the 90s. I am 32 now, and not really into hats anymore. But here lately I have been wanting to get back into them, And the hat of this era is the fitted new era 59/50. Back in my day the hat was Starter. Now Starter is a gerneric brand, Anways my size is 7 1/2. And it fits comfortable. I am not a real fan of the the flat brim, I prefer curved, but I hear that these hats look terrible curved. Im a Miami Dolphins fan, and I got a steal in my local Ross Dress For Less store, the hat which is normally 34.99 was only 7.99. And its official. So I picked it up. But I just cant stand the flat look. Any advice from anyone on how to curve it and not ruin it?

[@youngbreezyswag7]

it still look good with the crown

[@mattewrc]

Nice! Def helps! Sorry about your P-nats hat though. Diggin all the DC stuff...go Nats!

[@mistyflip322]

@aznerd999 i take the stickers off my hats except for the ones with a white bill, that way you can grab onto the sticker when you're holding it and the grease and dirt on your fingers won't get the white bill dirty

[@penguinparker7]

@Proskillerz1 it's called air in the water it makes it cloud.

[@podunkparte]

"You try to get as little of the brim as possible wet..." Proceeds to pass the brim of the hat through the stream of water, while 50% of the hat is brimless and also able to pass through water.

[@mattmccoy1622]

i have a red and white cardinals stars and stripes hat. will the hot water cause the red to bleed and the white front panels to turn pink?

[@AstarteVX]

The water pressure in the pipes is higher than the water pressure in the hat, what makes it look white is the air bubbles in the water.

[@OolabaSwa]

That Yankees clock is amazing. Where did you get it?

[@6xtbirk]

Hi thats cool btw can you make a video how to make a new era hat bigger like just the sweat band? how to stretch it ou? Thx great vid

[@MrThamesview93]

@SchwartzVideo what if you want to shrink the hat and get rid of the crown? would you use your method to shrink the crown and then spray it to shrink it and then wear it without paper towels in?
