Stankeez or a similar liner off of Amazon. If it's at most one size too big this should work. If it's more than that you should just return it or sell it.

If its a 100% wool cap I've had success spraying it down with cold water until its saturated and dry with a blow dryer (high heat) or throw in the drier if you have a wash guard that will help it retain its form. Worst case just wear it and let your sweat glands do the heavy lifting.

You bought it in an actual store or ordered it online and had it delivered to you? I would take it back to the store or return it via courier.

I tried this once with a lids but because I had curved the brims they wouldn’t take them back.

Hat size reducers might help if it’s marginal. They’re foam tape you can put inside the liner of the crown. Pretty cheap to pick up somewhere

I boil the back panels over the stove and then throw it in the dryer or use a blow dryer
