If you're someone that likes to wear fitted baseball hats and gain/lose weight or like to change your hair length, these are a great solution. I am not sure what the description says, but I would estimate each strip does a good job of changing your hat size about 1/8 of an inch. I wouldn't recommend using more than one as your hat winds up looking oversized for your head. These are also great for cowboy hats and sizing can be altered on them to a much greater degree without the hat looking poorly fit. I have not had to replace any I've used, but it's nice to have so many in case of need.

Initially, I admit I was skeptical about why there were 30 pieces. That seems to be too many pieces. I figure I only need a few and did not want to pay the extra money for pieces I may never use. Then I realized that this was necessary because I used 8 pads alone in one hat to shrink it down to my head size. The extra pieces are nice in case you have multiple hats that need to be sized down. I volunteer for the Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach. As part of our uniform, they gave us these really handsome and classy fedoras made of light-colored straw. When the volunteer coordinator said that the hats were extra-large, which meant "they were just perfect for your head", making the "ok" sign with his hand (he was being humorous), he was not kidding. My fedora was XL. I wore this hat for the entire day at the car show with the top of the hat resting on the top of my head. Remember how I said the hat was made of tightly-weaved straw? This means it's stiff. You can imagine just how uncomfortable this is, pressing on the top of your head for the entire day. Not to mention the hat moved around your head with each step that you took, rubbing into your scalp even more.Upon completion of my gig, I looked for ways to reduce the hat size so that it would fit me better. I plan to volunteer again next year. Besides, I want to wear this spiffy hat anytime I want. I found these pads in my search. I had to use about 8 of them to reduce the extra-large size down to medium for my head. I placed these pads, which consisted of one sticky side, under the sweat band inside the hat. You cannot even see that they are there. Recall that the straw is tightly weaved and provides a SPF of 50+. I have worn this hat a number of times with the padding. Let me tell you: It is now snug and comfortable. The top of the fedora no longer presses against my scalp.I still have a bunch of pads left over. I'm sure they will come in handy for any other volunteer gigs I may participate where they give us hats. They typically do a "one-size-fits-all" for ease-of-ordering.Overall, I recommend these pads for your hat. Your head will thank you, too.

These are great for my bigger hats. Only use on on the front and i suggest two rows.

Let me be honest. I bought a cowboy hat and it was too big to sit properly on my head. It's also my first time owning a cowboy hat lol I was about to return it when I saw this pop up on my feed. I figured hey why not, it's cheap and had free shipping. I agree that the strips run pretty thick (it'd have been really cool to have varying thicknesses!) BUT they work so well! I used 2 in my hat (front/back and under the sweat band) and my cowboy hat fits perfectly! I love that it does have a lot of pieces and it's half black half white. I will use it on my favorite ball cap to help tighten it up! Great product that truly works.

These inserts are the perfect thing if you have a hat that is slightly too big. They go on easy enough and are soft enough to snug up.

Poor attempt to resize that which cannot be resized. Nice attempt but makes the hat sit on head poorly .

I have a lot of hats and I find that they don't always match the size that they are marked. These stick inside the hat band and just a couple will usually do the trick to reduce the size of the hat nicely for instance from 7 3/8 to 7 1/4.

gets the job done. The hats I order online are sometimes made a bit bigger or smaller... these help with the bigger ones fit better
