Men's Hat - Hat Stretcher

This hat stretcher provides headache relief for hat people. Perspiration shrinks hats, hardens and deteriorates the sweat band with salty deposits. Our hat stretcher is designed to solve all of these problems. It uses only top-grade kiln dried wood for durability and absorbing and wicking away moisture and odors without breaking down. If used after wearing, as a retainer, it will prevent shrinkage and keep sweat bands supple. The 130 pound-rated steel and aluminum turnbuckle enable it to re-stretch even the most severe shrinkage if need be.

This will keep your hats comfortable to wear. Modeled after the large hat stretchers, this one is revised in that the degree of taper is 10 versus 4 degrees on the big models. This is more appropriate for use in hats with the sweatband installed. The narrow thickness, and the taper allow for pressure to be applied where it belongs, where the sweatband is stitched to the hat, without warping the crown and sweatband out of shape.

A wise investment to protect your hats, both as a stretcher, or to retain sizing when putting away a wet hat.
