When you get a new baseball hat, sometimes it doesn't fit you properly. However, this is a fixable problem. Any baseball hat can fit properly if you follow these simple steps.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Cut the inside mesh in the front of the hat out. Take scissors and pinch the mesh inside of the hat near the top button. Once the mesh is separated, close the scissors and wiggle them around between the mesh and the hat separating the rest of the mesh. Once it is separated, cut the mesh of the hat out and throw it away.
Step2
Pull out remaining mesh. After you cut the mesh out, there will be some individual strands that are left in the hat. These can poke the top of your head. Pull the remaining pieces out.
Step3
Wash and dry. Include your hat in any load of laundry. This will soften up the fabric and get rid of any remaining loose strands that remain.
Step4
Soak the halo. With warm water, lightly soak the inner halo of the hat. Once it is damp, wear the hat for about an hour. The fabric will stretch and adjust to the shape of your head.

Tips & Warnings

  • When cutting the inner mesh out, be careful not to punch through the outer fabric of the hat. An easy way to do this is to keep a finger on the outside of the hat where your scissors are located. That way, you can feel if the scissors are coming through the outer fabric.
