The most common issue w brimmed hats..
folks set them down on the shelf w the weight on the brim, and the brim softens and droops. (especially when wet, the weight of the water causes it to droop and when it dries, it dries flat, like the tabletop or shelf its sitting on)
Even folks who know better do this, we all do it by accident occasionally,.
I see the symptoms in customers' hats,and they deny it,"Oh! I NEVER lay it on it's brim!"
We all do, I do. Hats get worn, like shoes..its inevitable, if u wear it, it shows wear.
"Prevention" is best, keep the hat hung up or upside down. So the brim "floats" in air.
But..
If u want to try and fix it, it's not easy, but it's possible...each case is a little different,felt quality is the big factor.
The bottom line is this..
store your hats the correct way..upside down on the crown,brim flipped back up.
or
hang it up
on a hook,nail or coat rack,
w the brim snapped back up
..even if u wear the brim snapped down, u store it snapped up.
Do this all the time, wet or dry, at home, the office, bars and restaurants..
all the other stuff will take care of itself,
That's all I do,and my hats look good.
don't worry how u hold it, or take it off, j
ust store it correctly
. it's enough.
I know, because I never,ever have time to steam my own hats, I never do..its true, maybe 1-2x a year if I'm lucky.
My brims all look perfect on the ones that I store correctly.
My green hat and my teal blue one, I wear those two every day, for years and years..
I store them on a hook in the wall, or upside down on the desk,they are as good as the day I bought them,
BUT..the ones that I don't really wear look wavy and soft,old..like that lavender hat.
Why?..
..I stack them in piles on shelves,which I know is wrong, but I have no room for them..or I'm lazy.
The difference is like night and day, big difference.
Store them right,and u will avoid all this reshaping nonsense.
We are the ones who screw up our own hats,simply because nobody educated us in basic hat care..
Learn to store them right and prevent it from getting oft and out of shape,
it's way easier than trying to fix it by hand.
If u have a decent hat and can't get results this way,
u can have a brim steamed by me,free.
Or re-flanged in our workshop in a more lasting way. Both include a good hat box,
Blocking in the workshop is for older or totalled hats,when steaming just won't get results anymore.
.it's way more intensive,the same process they use when they manufacture the hat.
It's better to learn how to prevent this cycle from starting,
Buy a good quality fur felt hat with a brim that snaps nicely,raw edged brims are usually,
(but not always) more prone to floppiness btw
if it has trouble snapping from the start, it may be shop-worn, or poorly made,don't buy it.
try another one in the same size, or another style. Snap brim hats should snap.
be aware that soft felt hats like "lite felt" crush-able wool hats,
when u add a soft brim to a short,tiny brim,
it will not snap well,
some tiny brim hats are meant to stay up,

if there's a little tension inside, some tightness,friction..the brim snaps better.a hat that's soft and too big for u may not snap, go tighter..
