A stretcher is great for all hats and a must for felt hats. The problem with commercial hat stretchers is that they are expensive and rarely fit the shape of an individual's head. Learn how to make a hat stretcher at home in an hour or two that will exactly duplicate the shape of your head! This will make and keep your hat shaped perfectly, so you can wear it comfortably all day long without getting hot spots and it will be unlikely to blow off in the wind. And best of all, it will cost you around $5 or less to make. The stretcher is so easy and inexpensive to make that you will probably make one for each hat that you own. A brand new class that I developed, it debuts at Pennsic 50.
