Fabric type: Wood Care instructions: Hand Wash Only Closure type: Twist Fit type: Stretch

This item is made of Solid Wood and is designed as a One Size Fits All solution, accommodating hat sizes ranging from 6 1/2 to 8 1/2. It features an Adjustable Metal Heavy Duty Turnbuckle that helps to relieve any pinching or discomfort.

The product description states that if your favorite hat just doesn't fit right, this hat stretcher can provide the solution. Whether your hats have shrunk over time or you're simply looking for a better fit, this 100% wood, heavy-duty hat stretcher is designed to address these common issues across a variety of hat styles, from New Era to Cowboy hats.

To use the hat stretcher, simply lay it on a flat surface and twist the center handle to approximate the size of your hat. Place the stretcher into the hat, with the labels facing up and the center handle parallel to the crease in the hat's crown. Tighten the handle to achieve a snug fit, and the hat is ready for storage. It's important to always rest the hat on its crown, with the brim facing up.

If you desire to increase the size of your hat, repeat the steps above, but twist the handle to lengthen the stretcher and stretch the hat. If this method does not provide the desired result, you can use a teapot or pan with the lid slightly ajar, boil clean water, and then reduce the heat to produce a steady flow of steam. Holding the hat stretcher handle, direct the steam evenly to the outside of the band area, and twist the handle to stretch the hat to the desired size while applying the steam. Allow the hat to cool and dry for 20-30 minutes before removing the stretcher. Repeat this process if the hat shrinks until it maintains the desired size and fit.
