    Rub candle wax on it (unscented) and heat it with a hairdryer melting the wax into the fibers,not only will it stiffen it up but it will waterproof your hat. You're welcome!

    Your video was helpful! I just did this with my boonie hat after watching your video. It's my favorite and I didn't want to buy another one because this one fits me perfectly :-) Thankfully the brim of my hat had a small opening in that seem that I didn't have to cut and resew.

  • @ttomaso4055

    This video could have been made taking half the time. Besides that - it showed succinctly how to do what needed to be done. I actually stripped some 14 gage romex and used that. once I got it all the way around I overlapped it 2 inches to avoid any unsupported areas and inched the last part of the wire into the brim about an inch. Thanks work out really well for a hat I washed a few times that became too floppy. Gave new life to a 20 yr old hat!

    By far the best of my boonies caps is the one I took the outer seam off and sewed a coat hanger all the way around and then reattached the seam. You can cut your brim down narrowing it to about 3-5 fingers, attach the coat hanger and you have stiffened and shortened the brim! Two mods at one time! Use a narrow coat hanger as some are thick.

    Watched this. Then thinking about it, gave me the idea to come up with a better, even easier solution.
    Using long plastic zip ties.
    You can start at the seam of the rim, and without cutting, feed one through (I used ones 2 feet long because it's what I had), and once that's fed through to the end, trim off the little locking do-hicky with scissors. Then without cutting, just splitting a few threads on the rim near that one, feed the next one going the other way.
    I used three in this process trimming off about three inches of the last one. Just took a very few minutes and worked like a charm.
