Cowboy Hat Stretcher,Small Size 6 1/2 to 9 1/2-Colourful Adjustable Buckle Heavy Duty (Small, Black)

It works like it should. And highly recommended it.

My head is small and I'm in between size 6 3/4 and 7. I always buy on the smaller side because there's really nothing you can do with a hat that's too big. I bought a Brixton cap in 6 3/4 and it was uncomfortably small - it made a mark on my forehead after 5 mins of wear and I thought maybe I'd stretch it by simply wearing it a lot. That didn't happen - I always opted for caps that fit better and would be less of a strain. Felt bad because I spent $60 on the hat, though, and of course, could no longer return. I bought this hat stretcher, put it on the Brixton cap and left it for 2 days. Like night and day. Just that much more room and the hat fits snug but no longer makes a mark on my forehead. It's great because it's a well made hat that looks lovely, and now it's my favorite to wear. I thought it was kind of ridiculous to spend $15 on a piece of wood with some screws in it, but I went for it - and now this is the only reason why I can wear this hat, rather than waste it. Recommend!

This hat stretcher is probably just as good as many others on Amazon. It's value priced and delivery was very good. These all work reasonably well, but only stretch from front to back. Although this loosens the side to side a little, it is still less than the front to back stretch. This is why most professional hat stretching is done on a full block, which would be very expensive for the amateur. But for the price, this is very good, and with a little work you can stretch your hat back to size.

Easy to use and instructions are helpful. Stretched my expensive Stetson with little trouble and really improved the fit. The hat was tight front to back and this stretcher is perfect for that issue. Recommended.

This stretcher allows you to find treasures in the antique malls and make them fit. A new Stetson could cost hundreds. Cowboy hats of Fedoras, works on both.

Very nice

You might ask a friend to borrow theirs, unless your head has grown or you have consistently purchased hats that are too small, you're only going to need this bad boy once, but hat said, it certainly did the trick. I didn't have to use steam, because the humidity in Texas helped out, but if i were to have been in Utah or Nevada, I'd have added a touch of steam to make it work better/faster.

It dose work but getting a stretcher that stretches in all direction may be better.
