How to install hat spacers and fit your hat

Hat spacers fit your hat perfectly to your head - they are thin foam strips with double sided tape on one side. This video shows you how to intsall them properly to get a perfect fit for your Panama hat.
Typically when I ship a Panama, it will be a little large to give you some room for shrinkage (which will most likely occur). These spacer pads will fit your hat perfectly to your head, while it settles in.
If you need to shrink any hat that is a little large, you can use window foam strips to achieve the same result.

Thanks for loving my hats

How hat pinching breaks your Panama hat

zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 11 měsíci

At the front of your hat is what is called the pinch. It is the shape that your hat has been formed into. Unfortunately, if you pinch your Panama hat repeatedly, it will form a hole (often very quickly) and you will be sad. When someone buys a Panama in my store, I give them care instructions and talk about two important things : 1. Don't leave your Panama in a hot car - it will cook it 2. Don'...

Can you roll or fold a panama hat
