How to break in a new hat?

Question

i recently bought a sweet nfl sideline hat with the strech band, I love this hat and don't want to take it back (not that I really could) but the front of it hurts after about 20 minutes of wearing it. is there any ways of streching the front band so it fit's aliitle better?

Answer 1

put it over a bowl or something that is larger than the hat let it sit durring the day and over night. It should be a little more looser. not too much though. if still not loose enough leave it on longer.
good luck

Answer 2

Do you have a friend that has a larger head than you? If yes, I would ask him if he could help you out.
