Working Hats How to Shape Your SunBody Hat
It's fun and you can't hurt it when its wet.
Play with it - in thirty minutes you'll be a pro.

Spray it, hold it under the faucet
or dunk it in a trough or stream.
Mexican Hats 2nd, Crease the crown (as shown),
putting the seam at the back.
Shape the side curves like you want them.
For symmetry, look at the inside
of the crown while working it.
Brims on Hats 3rd,Shape the brim by rolling the edges
toward the crown. Exaggerate the roll,
maybe even crease it, as the brim
will have a tendency to uncurl
some when you let it go.
Flexible Hats Personalize, For a nice front-to-back curve,
stretch the hat lengthwise with your
fingers from the inside while pulling
down on the ends of the
brim with your thumbs.
Wet, your hat will be hard and rigid and feel smaller.
Dry, it will be flexible and remember its new shape if crushed.
It will not shrink or stretch but will conform to the shape of your head.

Extreme dryness will make your hat brittle.
In dry weather an occasional dousing will keep your hat fresher and make it last longer.
