From the post your fitted post in sneakeshowcase
Have you ever walked into Lids/Hatworld and immediately fell in love with a hat on the shelf? Yeah? Me too. You run over to the spot, scramble through all of the sizes, and find out THEY DON'T HAVE YOUR SIZE! OH NO! But hey, you love this hat so much, you buy 1 size up/down anyways.
I really want to wear this hat. But its too big/ too small for me! I'll look like a fool if i wear this! What now?
Well, you have come to the right place for this information.
There are many different procedures to doing this. However, the one that I do seems to do the job and is pretty easy.
SHRINKING YOUR HAT SIZE
Step one:
Take your hat and wet YOUR HEAD ONLY with hot water. Many people think wetting the sweat band will work better, but it doesn't. All wetting the sweatband does is make it smelly and gross.
Step two:
Put that hat on your head while it is wet. You may want to get a towel to dry the water dripping down your head.
Step three:
Take two rubber bands that stretch well. (Not the big thick ones, those will snap right away) Take the rubber bands and place them just like the following picture.
Step four:
Leave it on your head for about 1 hour and a half like this. You will feel it starting to get dry. Take the Rubber bands off first, then the hat. Some people believe that if you spray starch on the sweatband then it will be stiff and stay in this position.
Step five:
Enjoy your smaller sized hat.
STRETCHING YOUR HAT SIZE
Step one:
Take your hat and wet YOUR HEAD ONLY with cold/warm water. Many people think wetting the sweat band will work better, but it doesn't. All wetting the sweatband does is make it smelly and gross.
Step two:
Put that hat on your head while it is wet. You may want to get a towel to dry the water dripping down your head.
Step three:
Wear the hat for about an hour, and it should be the size of your head. You may take it off to air dry if it is still a little wet.
Step four:
Enjoy your bigger hat size.

THE PERFECT SOLUTION TO STRETCHING YOUR CAP
I just recently did this yesterday and it worked perfectly. Do this when your just chilling at your house or w/e.
Steps:
1. Find a towel that is not to thin but a little bit thick.
2. Put it on top of your head.
3. Get your fitted you want to stretch and put it in your head tight.
4. Do this for about 30min-1hour.
5. Take off the towel and feel the difference.
I'll take pictures when I have the time if you don't get what I'm saying.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What do the rubber bands do?
A: The rubber bands act as a reinforcement to shrinking it to your head size. This helped me a lot, I got my size 7 1/4 hat to go down to a size 7.
2. Why do I have to wear the hat wet for?
A: Wearing the hat wet allows the hat to mold into your head size. This is the main part of shrinking/stretching.
3. Will this procedure always take an hour-2 hours?
A: No, the time varies depending on your head size.
I hope this guide helped you all. I know it may be a little rusty I just typed it up now. Thanks.
