How To Turn A Fedora Into A Cowboy Hat

The Western cowboy hat is the most unique among felt hats. If you have a felt hat, you can follow me and turn it into a handsome cowboy hat.

First of all, we need to know that there are many styles of Western cowboy hats, and the styles worn on different occasions are different. For example, riders in competitive equestrian and performance events are more suitable to wear those with curled edges and no drop in the front, so when reshaping When deciding on the hat type, we need to confirm which style of Western cowboy hat we need.

1.We need to shape the area (edge, sides, crown), we first select a part to start, it is recommended that you start from the outside edge of the hat.

2. After we select the part to be shaped, we need to use water steam to soften this part of the hat (you can choose a small steamer, or place it above boiling water, and you need to pay special attention not to burn your hands). Never allow the hat to evaporate from the underside as you may permanently damage the leather sweatband. Steam (heat and moisture in general) can cause it to twist, wrinkle and shrink.

3. Use your fingers to gently bend the softened part of the edge, to gently curl, use your fingers on the upper side and your thumb on the bottom, and curl with even pressure until you reach the desired shape.

4. Once the edge shape is how we want it, let it cool and put it in place. If you move on to subsequent parts of the brim too early, you may end up distorting parts of the hat you've already shaped.

5. Repeat the process: steam out the additional section, then shape it into the edge and hold it in place until the felt is cool and set.

6. After all parts of the shaping are complete and before the cowboy hat is completely cooled and placed, press the hat into position on the head. This will help the inside of the hat shape your head and make it more comfortable
