RadBizz FirstChoice Hat Stretcher - One Size Fits All - Heavy Duty

Excellent product. I can use my Stetson hat again.

I have a huge head and fall between an L/XL and XL/XXL Flexfit hat. L/XL are normally too tight and take a year to naturally stretch enough to feel comfortable. XL/XXL are just right when I buy them but become too loose over time. So I bought this to stretch out a new L/XL, and it worked perfectly! Rather than boiling water like the instructions suggest, I used a garment steamer that I already owned. I stretched the hat about 1/2" larger than its current size and steamed the band heavily for about 2min. Then let it set for about 30min in the stretcher, then take it out for 30min. Then I'd start over, and stretch it another 1/2" more, repeating the same process. I did this several times until I reached the desired size. Not sure if it was necessary but it didn't feel right stretching it the entire way all at once, so I did it in intervals. Ultimately the hat came out perfectly! I got it exactly where I wanted it, and it feels great. It feels like an L/XL would normally feel after a year or two of natural wear, which is just how I like it. It looks good as well, with no indication it was stretched unnaturally. It's been a few days and so far it's still the same size. Overall this was a great buy. It's such a simple product and I could've probably used homemade items to achieve the same result, but I didn't want to bother when something so convenient exists. Can't wait to buy more hats, especially since L/XL usually has a much wider selection and cheaper price.

Très bien bon produit

臭いも木材の臭いで嫌な臭いはありません。かなり良く伸びるので、締め付けには注意も必要です。そんなに締め付ける訳ではないのですが、ただ一つ、何と言うんでしょうか、真ん中の伸び縮みさせるグリップ？が、もう少し回しやすい様に出来てると良いかと思いますね。

Macht den Hutumfang wirklich größer.

Worked just like they said it would. Required a 14 mil spanner to tighten the stretcher and with the help of a little steam I now have a hat that fits. When I’m not wearing the hat I leave the stretcher in the hat to keep the size right.
