Need Help - DragoBloodlust - 02-04-2005
I got a felt fedora today, along with a glove from Systematic Killer. (Great guy to deal with, by the way.)
Anyways, its a bit too small for my gig ass gourd. Does anyone know if there\'s a way to stretch it without ruining the hat? Any help would be appreciated.

Steam! If you have a kettle or something similar just bring some water to a boil and let the steam hit the spots you want to stretch and stretch them. The same works for shaping. Hope this helps and please have a parent help you if you are under 18, lol.

So the steam won\'t ruin the felt?
Also, I\'m 23, so would it be ok to get my wife to help?

Well, it turns out the felt is just too small. It wont stretch enough to fit over my huge skull. Oh, well. It looks good hanging up with my glove.
