How to Restore Vintage Snapbacks! Do it yourself! DIY

[@Psychona-sf2rq]

Paul as a 54 year old man, and owning 30-40 snapbacks I wanna thank you so much for the in depth explanation. I buy used snapbacks and this information is really helpful. Thanks again. BTW I gave you a thumbs up.

[@keithsimpson6912]

Blessing on this vid.. Revived 3 of my hats today I haven't wore in awhile.. Looking new again

[@MrPaulCantu]

Keith Simpson Awesome, glad the vid helped, Keith.

[@matthewp.5291]

[@benrussell7855]

But extra corny

[@darrylturner6346]

Don’t be hating on the legend 🙏🏼

[@JuggaloSupreme]

I'm glad you showed people how to replace the snaps. For a minute there I was like restoration!? You mean what I do to all my hats every time I wash them? That's not restoring them, that's just taking care of them and cleaning them. We re-paint hats that are faded from sweating or the sun, we fix the logos, and those are the kind of restoration things I thought I would see. Keep it up though, cuz you'll work your way up there. Peace!

[@brendanbienapfl1012]

Worked this on 2 vintage Detroit Red Wings snapbacks and cleaned it up a lil more and now they are fire. Thanks so much for this tutorial!

[@missnoname9704]

Extremely good video! Love the way you explain instructions in detail. Easy to understand. Also funny without profanity!!! Loved it!

[@ameravalos1522]

Well, thank you dude, this is the best snapback restoration video that I have ever seen. I will be working on mine as it's folded on the front but I'm positive that it will look fine

[@ajsnoopy0658]

So glad I found this video. Picked up a vintage Dbacks cap that needs to be reshaped, and it looks like it won't be a problem! Nice job on the DIY 🔥.

[@JarusO_]

This is the first vid I ever saw of you, so glad your fan base has grown since then

[@johnwelch6795]

Thanks a lot I revived my favorite SnapBack. Worked out great. 10/10

[@alexanderrygaard6635]

Dude i'm so grateful for this video and what you just showed me. After seeing this video a have successfully claened and rereconstructed my vintage Sharks hockey snapback "trucker hat" and my Vintage Adidas flat snapback. Thank you so freakin' much for this video Paul. I am extremely happy with the result!!! :D

[@BlindColorHats]

Get some new ones #BlindColorHats

[@caesaralexsander]

Thank you so much! Massively helpful, been wanting to restore the shape of some of my older hats for years!

[@BlindColorHats]

Right! Great video! #BlindColorHats

[@rikinacapuy9177]

Dude you are a god! haha I just found this vid tonight and tomorrow I'll be fixing all my vintage hats!

[@rikinacapuy9177]

And what if your brim is cardboard ?

[@karlozaguilar7901]

Your videos inspired me to hit up my local goodwill, found a cleveland indians snapback that was in real bad shape but this video helped me resurrect that mofo lol Thanks bro.

[@MrPaulCantu]

karloz Aguilar No problme man, glad it helped ya out!

[@johnnyDizzyV]

I did this to an old 90's Phoenix Suns snapback I found in a thrift for $2. Now it looks brand new! Thanks Paul

[@alienware5629]

You saved my jumpman snap from the trash. Looks brand new . Legit 💯

[@damiongutierrez1111]

Paul You always been the shit bro I remember watching this as a very young teenager and I’m 18 now and it’s crazy bruh much love

[@catjudo1]

This was a much more informative and helpful video than I initially anticipated! Though I'm not much of a snapback guy (I grew up in the eighties and hated that the snaps always broke) I found a lot of useful stuff here. My own hat story involves trying to restore two older fitted hats, a fishing hat from Alaska that has suffered embroidery fading and a Dale Earnhardt GM Goodwrench hat in which the black fabric has faded badly but the embroidery looks new. They are my two favorite hats and I really don't want to replace them. Any ideas?

[@shubocks9607]

these old videos still crack me up. 😂😂. baby cantu

[@alfonsozavala77]

Nice video bro! I switched from stuffing the hat with a towel to a pot. It leaves the crown looking like a Mitchell and Ness snapback you should try it!

[@storungz]

At the weekend someone sat on my NOSTROMO ALIEN Replica snapback... now I know how I can fix it! It's like they ass-ironed it dude, totally sux... Also, you're funny! You made something that could be totally boring actually fun to watch!

[@jactrich]

When using a toothbrush make sure the fabric isn’t thinning before using a harsh scrubbing material, if it is use a sponge softly or rub in a stain remover and let it sit for a few hours then gentle wash out. Fabrics on old hats may have worn away or come loose over time. Also if using a washing machine make sure to set it to cold, heat will shrink the fabric and break the plastic snap on the back.

[@el_jefe12]

Cool vid man, the improvisation really helps.

[@alexrobles8920]

Just started watching your thrift videos and it inspired me to hit alot of thrift stores came up on a bunch of hats. This video really made them popping again thanks

[@umpquapride1]

just found your channel , I collect old snapbacks so your vid helps a lot . keep up the good work. ...

[@umpquapride1]

it should get better with use

[@umpquapride1]

at least in my experience , they will stretch about one size . but if its smaller than that, your out of luck........it sounds to me like you my have gotten a child size cap . they where very common when I was growing up.

[@BigMikeFromDaBay]

just restored 2 of my hats, props to you man. Thanks for this great video :D Now i'm off to restore more of my hats.

[@tonyreavis6915]

I'm curious if I could use starch..instead

[@josephskater1994]

Dude this worked wonders on one of my favourite snaps from the mid 90s. It was all out of shape and I wanted to spruce it up and it looks like new now! Thanks!

[@josemanuelcervantesvaldez8386]

Thanks you help me to restore my south park snapback, it was horrible and when i finish the process, omg i love it

[@ITSHProductions]

Would you not want to put the hot glue on the inside instead so if the glue gets old, it doesn't seep through and stain?

[@raycecarfast]

I've seen a few videos where people use hot glue, it works pretty well

[@brz83q]

This video helped me alot.I revived all my Ruined hats.Great job and extra thanks.

[@strawjai2332]

[@DiannaFranzie]

I find it easier for me to use a toothbrush and laundry detergent for the cleaning the whole hat, good for colored brims too because of the color boost.

[@AGETheGawdYT]

Do you take the cardboard out after there dont drying to finish the restoration?

[@michaelmhuynh]

Do you think starch spray for collars for dress shorts would work better than hairspray? Do you have any recommendations for what kind of hairspray to use?

[@lovalova202]

[@cjzanders5430]

[@SchumacherSupporter]

Thanks for the guidance, I managed to restore my favourite Ferrari cap! :D

[@dreragetv2278]

Hey thanks man you really helped me save some of my fav snaps

[@TheNdsslc98]

hey i would reccomend a needle and thread on the snap change it takes a little longer but it wont come unglued i used to use glue on my snaps and eventually they aways come unglued and another thing you might wanna invest in a thread puller it makes the stitching come out way more clean just a suggestion peace

[@MrPaulCantu]

I wanted to make this video all accessible for people who may not know how to sew. I also have personally never had a problem with gluing the snaps.

[@itsokdoe]

Awesome video man. Keep up the good work it's much appreciated.

[@MrPaulCantu]

itsokdoe Thanks man, i hope it helped, and I definitely am grateful for the support.

[@TrishZenCorner]

What is the drying process is it inside the home or outside in the sun?

[@oneaccuratereconbf5951]

Just did this on my GTA V Los Santos hat, looks good so far, thanks man.

[@JuggaloSupreme]

Oh and have you ever tried spray starch instead of Hairspray?

[@patrickcabiling4684]

Will the glue sticks be enough to hold the plastic straps together? Will it break easily?

[@edwinner100]

hey homie I have a white vintage pin n needles betty snapback I have a little pink stain on the side and was wondering if I should approach it different

[@alhmadjernigan6381]

Is it ok if you don't have hairspray or is there an alternative?

[@xHastte]

is it okay to put hair spray on the brim? cause i felt like i needed to

[@D-M32725]

Have you ever used an iron to iron out the brim?

[@TheKemp2]

Hey bro! Thank you, so much! I've been looking for someone that could teach me how to restore my caps! This is pretty nice! Well, I'll need a lil' bit of luck 'cause here in Brazil the prices of the caps are too high, so if I screw my cap up I'll have a heart attack. But anyway, thanks 4 helping with your hints!
