Reshape A Cowboy Hat At Home

[@YanasaTV]

I use Bickmore Kahl Hat Stiffener, it's cheap, and gets the job done well amzn.to/2MYHXsa

I know it’s been forever since anyone’s commented… but, bro, you did a phenomenal job on that hat. And, it looked great on you. You did a great job with the brim. It’s dope.

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

I've been shaping my own hats for years. You did a great job!! Hat looks really good!!

[@kirkmanning6232]

I have my original 50 year old Stetson Rancher in silver belly. Never used any chemicals on it! I have a garment steamer and a brush and sometimes heavy rain! That effin hat is perfect to this day.

[@MrPopeye776]

Awesome Job ive got a grey felt hat i had misplaced found it under my back seat in my truck. it was crushed i tried this and it made it look better than when i bought it.. thanks for the video

[@HayesTech]

Thank you for this video. I'm now just getting into wearing a cowboy hat. I've always wanted to and I'm at that age now where I don't care what people think...lol... But i was worried about how to care for and keep my investment in a good workout hat in good condition. This video helped a ton...

[@stevemelancon6207]

I wish I had 2 hats just like those.

[@acesworld9036]

Today I got my first cowboy hat ever off my buddy but it was pretty dirty and abused, right when i got home i cleaned off the dust and grime the best I could but I couldn’t get over the fact that the hat looked like it had been used as a welcome mat, this video helped me fix the shape a lot, but I can tell that I’ve still got a lot to learn.

[@gunsquawk4443]

Hat stiffener? 91% alcohol in a spray bottle. Shhhh. That's a secret. 🤫

[@jaydinchitwood8548]

I tried this and it works great !

[@p.a.c.346]

@Gunsquawk 44 would using the alcohol stain or discolor your hat? Looking at hat stiffeners that’s become my biggest concern, I don’t exactly have the funds to purchase a new hat if I mottle mine 😞

[@McDanielRanch]

@@p.a.c.346 no

[@tonyherdina9142]

What's the other 9%?

[@davidw.504]

@@tonyherdina9142 that’s the type of alcohol, 91%

[@pjeter49]

Great job! I have an inexpensive wool felt cowboy hat that came with a cattleman crease I wasn’t too crazy about. Since I didn’t have a steam iron, I did it the old-fashioned way and ran hot tap water over the crown and inside of it. I even filled it up. I was able to push the old crease out and reformat much the same way you have done here. I was able to reshape the brim using hot water the same way. After I was satisfied with the way it looked, I propped it up and let it dry overnight. I could never get the hat stiffener to do much of anything by just spraying it on, so I poured some in a bowl and used a paintbrush and saturated the whole hat. When it dried it turned out awesome. Stiffened the whole hat up, much like an expensive beaver felt hat. Next time, I’m going to try your steam iron and soccer ball trick! (rxcept, I will probably have to use a basketball for my head size! Lol!) thanks for the great video!

[@YanasaTV]

I have a hat with a cowboy crease I was going to reshape to a teardrop, I might try your method.

[@DixieRoseproductions]

I know I probably won't get a response since this was a year ago but it won't hurt to ask; I have a stetson cattleman that's beat up, do you think it'd be worth the effort to reshape it into a Gus hat?

[@normanmcneal3605]

@@YanasaTV that crease you show is called a “ denton pinch”. It’s cowboy as any cowboy crease ever

[@waltergiles86]

The future of hats! Style, no substance!

[@allenwilson9656]

A whistling tea kettle works great try that next time !

[@zkman64]

It does, but a Non-whistling tea kettle works much better!

[@allenwilson9656]

@@zkman64 I find that the hole in the whistling tea kettle concentrates the steam to one area . But yes any kettle will work

[@jesuscasillas4992]

Yes sir!

[@joshanding8057]

It definitely does. I use one myself

[@waltergiles86]

How could you possibly make a cowboy hat into a Martha Stewart recipe 😮???? I am truly amazed 😮

[@camforrester2533]

I tried this this and it worked better than I expected because sometimes I don’t believe KZbin

[@seanfried5583]

Wow, you did a really really good job on that hat. It looks great. Well done.

[@YanasaTV]

Thanks

[@ronaldwexler8570]

Good job. I used the water kettle on the stove for steam.

[@wvbonbonqueen]

Very impressive. You did well with this hat. Thanks for the information. Hubby has many that needs to be re-shaped, this will help him to get it done correctly.

[@Bigsky1886]

Finished product looks great

[@maliab5925]

Thank you! I just bought a wool hat at a secondhand shop and it's got a couple creases that I want to work out; but was concerned I'd have to bring it to a shop

[@Jc5mith]

Wow your hat looked dumpy than it looked amazing and there's no footage. Thanks for the video. I think ill get my hat reshaped at a shop

[@Akkordeondirigent]

That's the shape of the crown that I prefer! Very nicely done. The brim I prefer low.

[@samantha19975]

Thank you for this video, it was super helpful. I don't have a steamer so I'm gonna have to use an iron as well. Thanks again!

[@Azzy5146]

Great job 👏 that's exactly the shape and style I want for my hat.

[@LowPlainsDrifter60]

You did an excellent job & yes, the hat suits you. You're a natural with a cowboy hat.

[@YanasaTV]

Thanks!

Came out great, nice work.

[@jacobscharf35]

This helped me tremendously. Thanks for the video bud!!

[@YanasaTV]

Glad it helped!

[@doneagan2094]

Great job, looks great. Shaped like Marks on the riflean.

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

How come yih apply the stiffener at the beginning before you do anything? I would think that's something you do at the end

[@B.C.5230]

You can add stiff or steam at any point in hat's life. ...doesn't mean you'll get these BS results

[@bigfootaintreal5454]

Dude! looks great. Ive got a couple of old hats im going to try that with.

[@Capture_Torture_Liberals]

Thank you very, very much! I just spent over $600 on a cowboy hat that arrived a size to big. I’m gonna give this remedy a whirl. Fingers crossed!🤞

[@ryanmagie1760]

Sweet Jesus no. Take that hat to a local saddlery or western store and have them take care of it. That is a good way to ruin an expensive hat.

[@mikedkc]

Wow. Great job. You transformed that hat.

[@501959bigtony]

What kind of hat is that? Is it a Stetson drifter?

[@jasonsoulie1337]

I love it did you made a video without recording any of the actual work at all so very helpful

[@EasyOgre]

Seems odd to spray stiffener on before you get the shape

[@thomasaglione5628]

How did you forget to video the heart of the action. This sucks. I was all set to watch you form the hat, but no, you tricked us. Not good.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

If you do this often or have a large collection you should invest in a Clothes Steamer they have bigger reservoirs for the water and allow you to get into tighter spaces with the wand on a hose They are reasonably priced on sale usually under $100.00 And Ive seen off brands online for less money I imagine will work fine as those are usually Chinese Clones Stetson brand hats allow you to steam and reshape many times due to the blend of Furs they use to make the Wool ive even steamed hats over a boiling pot of water on the stove

[@willieboy8798]

not bad for hand form....fur felt is compacted fibers using conditioner on it breaks the compacting bonds. if it is a good hat maybe no problem I did that with a cheapy hat the fur felt came apart. just an observation! wrinkles are the first sign the bonding is breaking on the fiber bunch... oh well! still good job use good plastic wrap put it in the hat damp a towel, a cheapy thin one, spray glue on the plastic wrap side. stick it in the hat let dry...when you like the form cover the hat edges spray the glue on the inside let it dry. hat form... take it out when do spray the hell out of the form until you can drive a truck over it. HAT FORM ,...put in a full size box so the hat is in a closed bax!! good to go partner, texas method
