How do you wash wool baseball hats? I have a fear messing with those hats, the others are fine but wool gives me 2nd thoughts. Also where did you get that cleaning kit (looking for the brush).?

[@Premium32vtg]

I always wash wool and twill the same way. As long as you dry them all the way, and get all of the soap out, you should have no issue. The cleaning kit is from a Vans sneaker cleaning kit and I have just always used that same brush. Any soft-bristled brush will work

How would you go about cleaning and reshaping hats that are 80s or older with a cardboard brim rather than a plastic one?

[@Premium32vtg]

Great comment! Check out my video about washing corduroy hats! Those ones have cardboard brims and you have to be SUPER gentle with them

Where do you get the hat mold at? To reshape the hat I can’t find them anywhere when I can they super expensive

[@Premium32vtg]

I got the hat mold over 2 years ago from a seller in New Zealand. I am currently working on manufacturing my own version and a good price so you don’t have to break the bank on one that is over $60

for the corduroy hats is there a way to restore or liven up the colour or soft feel ? I washed one and I think I was too rough with it - it leaked colour I feel like it's more washed out than before.

[@Premium32vtg]

Yes, corduroy hats are very fragile and usually don’t hold their color well. I try to stay away from those because of how difficult they are to keep pristine

[@MacRana-h7d]

Love this video. Did you end up steaming the corduroy hats?

[@Premium32vtg]

Thank you!🙏🏼 yes I did end up steaming it! It turned out great!!

[@MacRana-h7d]

@@Premium32vtg Amazing, I’ll do the same. Question for you though, got a vintage hat that’s got a high crown. Is there any chance I can reshape it and make it smaller and more fitting to my head?

[@ianistvan85]

Great info on your channel man! I was wondering if you could give me an approximate diameter of your hat mold? I know you sourced yours from overseas, so I’d like to make a diy one for now. I just don’t know how wide it should be, but I love how yours come out. Keep the content rolling!

[@Premium32vtg]

Hey! Thanks for the kind words! The diameter is about 7inches
