Things You'll Need
- Stock pot or tea kettle
Instructions
Fill a pot or kettle with water and heat it to boiling. A tea kettle is ideal for this purpose, since it produces a steady jet of steam when the water starts to boil.
Hold the hat in your left hand to allow the steam to penetrate the fibers as much as possible. Get the brim of the hat as close to the steam as possible without risking a burn.
Use your right hand to shape the brim of the hat. The steam penetrates the fibers and makes them more pliable and easier to shape. Shape one part of the brim at a time until the hat is back to the desired shape.
Put the hat on a hat stand to cool for at least one hour before using it again. If you do not have a hat stand, you can place the hat on a flat surface where it will not be bumped or disturbed.
