Making my trilby fit me

[WULF]

Didn't really know where to put this so please move if its in the wrong place.

Now,i got a great trilby recently in the gift it on thread but it fits ok but would prefer it a bit tighter.:bluThinki is there anything i could use to make it tighter on my head?.

thanks .

The most common method is to place something inside the hatband (between the hat and the band)

Can you not put something in the headband to make it a bit smaller?

a wig then? I'm sure you could find a nice one this one would look good, I'm sure.
or you could go the "John Fenna" route and strap a spork to your nut

I'm suffering the same issue with My hat since cutting my dreadlocks, hat is to big, handy hint about the head band will try it

I've soaked a titfer in warm water in the past and worn it while taking a hair dryer to it. Worked a treat but I'd try something under the band first.

The felt pads sorted mine out mate,nice and snug now.
