At HatClub.com, we know your fitted cap is more than just a hatβitβs an extension of your personal style. Whether you prefer a classic flat brim or a custom curve, shaping your hat is one of the easiest ways to make it your own.
If youβre ready to curve your brim, hereβs a simple step-by-step guide to do it right:
1. Start with a Clean Hat
Before you begin, make sure your hat is clean and completely dry. Whether itβs a fresh drop from your latest pickup or a favorite from your rotation, a clean brim will shape more evenly and hold its form longer.
2. Use Your Hands
Gently bend the brim with both hands into a smooth, natural arc. Avoid creasing or folding it too sharplyβthink of creating a gradual curve rather than a hard angle. This helps maintain the structure and look of your hat over time.
3. Secure the Shape
Once youβve got your curve, hold it in place with rubber bands or hair ties wrapped around the brim ends, and leave it overnight.
Or, for an even easier and more precise method, try using the New Era Visor Curving Band. This handy tool is designed specifically to help curve your brim evenly and maintain the shape while your hat sets. Simply slide it onto your brim and let it do the work for you.
4. Optional Steam
A little steam can soften the brim and make shaping even easier. Hold your hat carefully over a kettle or steamer, letting the steam loosen the fibersβjust be sure not to soak it. A light touch goes a long way.
5. Wear It In
One of the best ways to get a perfect, custom curve is to simply wear your hat often. Over time, it will naturally mold to your head shape and settle into your preferred look.
Whether you rock your brim flat, curved, or somewhere in between, Hat Club hats are built to last and look great. For more hat care tips, styling ideas, and exclusive tutorials from the community, visit HatClub.com or follow us on social.
