I have a hat...

KrauserKrauser · Post by **KrauserKrauser** » 2003-12-30 10:58pm

I got this awesome one size fits all hat for christmas and surprise surprise it doesn't exactly fit on me head. While can get around my head it exerts alot of pressure along its rim. So much pressure that I have to remove it frequently to let my forehead get some air. Also the pressure has caused alight headaches when wearing it.

What I am wondering is there a way to stretch out the hat or if it would be safe to simply cu the elastic band around the rim.

I really like this hat and would hate to do any significant damage to it.

Must find solution!

Certain African tribes have a head-shrinking process. Unfortunately, you don't actually survive it. And the hat might be much too big afterwards.

I hate hats. They make my head itch.

Anyway, maybe stretching the hell out of it would help?

Don't put it on your head too deep then. That's what I do with my caps and no they do not fly off.

Gnaw on the elastic band for a few hours then soak it in mustard and white gravy.

Does it look like your avatar's hat?

You could probably just strech it so it fits...

Keep your hat on one of these things until it stretches out.

I've tried stretching it out for hours with something much larger than my head and it remains stretched for say five minutes once I put it back on my head.

My head is rather ginormous (read: had to special order helmet for me while on high school football team, Using the last possible peg on those plastic hat bands) and I have never had a fitted hat that well, fit and really want this hat to work out.

Return it to the vendor and exchange it for one of the proper size. They expect this kind of thing around the holidays. Failing that, take it to a haberdasher and see if they can do anything about it.

Return it for a better fitting one.

it might be possible to undo part of the seam and add an extra inch of elastic(or a bit more), and resew it without significant damage to the hat. depends on how good you are with a needle and thread tho

Oh my god, are you the kid featured in that Daily Show episode where they interview the kid whose head is so big that they had to special order his football helmet? That would be fucking awesome.

How big was his head ?

Fairly big, but not retarded-big. He was a big kid in general; I'd hazard to say 6'5" and a lot of pounds, so his gigantic head was in proportion with his gigantic body. They said they didn't make a football helmet with a big enough opening, so the whole town had to pitch together to buy a custom-fit helmet for him so that he could play on the high school team.

No, I am not that kid.

Or am I?

As soon as I saw that, I looked at you avatar and actually laughed out loud... Whn big hats seem funny, you may be a loser

Well, back on topic, I suggest cutting out the seem, adding an inch or two of elastic, and sewing the whole thing back together. Otherwise, just wear it really high up on your head.
