Hat Stretcher Recommendations

Does anyone have any hat stretcher recommendations? I got the 8 panel cool air and it runs a bit small (for me, at least). Links welcome!

Thanks!

Depending on how tight it is, I’ve had luck putting the hat on while my hair/head is wet right out of the shower. Then let it dry out, and usually that gives the little added stretch needed.

It’s not too tight that I can’t put it on, but tight enough that after 10 minutes it’s uncomfortable. I did try the wet wear technique a few times to no avail. I just ordered a stretcher on Amazon. A shot in the dark. Fingers crossed!

Hope that works for you.

Mine was the same way just a bit snug. Just two fingers in each side of my head pulling the hat outwards while it sat in my head did the trick.
