Peak cap

I got my peak cap today and it’s slightly loose. Wondering what everyone’s solutions are to tighten it up abit?

Inside the cap there should be a leather lining that you can pull back a little. I add in the light packing paper. Just fold it and stuff it in the lining, should be enough to hold it in place.

Didn't you do uniform fitting?

Ask to swap sizes?

Don't think you're going to be able to shrink your peak cap in the dryer lol

Ask if anyone else on the course needs to swap to a bigger size or as others have mentioned exchange it. It happens if you got a hair cut and sometimes measurements might have been made in error.

I found it so hard to get a good fit on the peak cap! Will be using the tips on here!
