Nice video. That leather band thingy is the sweat band... just FYI... another way to do this is to get a spray bottle with water (I use distilled) and spritz the inside and outside of the band area... then place in a warm car or similar area for 15-30 minutes (depending on the temperature) and that can shrink down your hat considerably without the use of the foam tape. Once you have done that, invest in a hat jack/hat stretcher to help keep the shape (helps to keep shape and stretch as needed).
Nice video. Your dad's hat is very similar to a Stetson Stampede model in acorn tan color I bought in SF in the early '80's. Mine has the same headband with the JBS lasso pin but is only a 3X. Baron Hats in LA recently restored mine with a new sweatband but kept intact the Stetson liner depicting the cowboy giving water to his horse. These hats are definitely a keeper for the family.
I bought $350 Stetson beaver hat and additionally I bought another $120 genuine zebra hat band! Turns out the hat was an 8th inch too big! I was aware of the “foam “ But not knowledgeable on how to apply it! Thought it went on the outside of the leather sweat band! 😆 Thanks to your video I will now purchase the foam and apply it properly, along with a Terry cloth sweat band and it will once again be perfection better than new! Thank you very much for taking the time to make this very Informative video!
YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER!!! I bought a Stetson Marshal hat and got the wrong size 7 1/2 which is -23 3/4 which is a 60 X Large When I was supposed to get a 7 which is 22 1/4 - which is a 56 medium
As a cowboy hat enthusiast, you scored a hat that, not only looks great on you but, is in excellent condition! And, as icing on the cake, it's a hand-me-down. Maybe someday you'll find a pic of your Dad wearing it! ❤🙏
From France : congratulations ! Good idea, wonderful hat, it fits you perfectly. Your style, smile and haircut make a unique genre with this hat. I try to to find cowboy hats in France but real ones are difficult to find. So i find it on the internet in the US and import ones, time to time. Hard to find the perfect sharp i love with the distance. Resistol at Stetson are my favorites, straw hats or "fedora". The ones i used to see the in Dallas( tv show) were amazing : Steve Kanally's, Larry Hagman's of course, patrick Duffy's... hard to find vintage ones
I wear australian felt hats and I use cork strips for making it smaller and better fitting. They're to be put in the exact same spot as the foam thing used in video, the only difference is that it is not glued on, and one can put there one or several of them depending on the size one wants to achieve.
Sadly. Stetson no longer makes a felt hat with a 3 1/2" brim. It's the best size, in my opinion. My hat brim is 3 1/2, but my hat is an old Stetson like yours. That brim size was popular in the 1960s and 70s.
You might get the tape at a hardware store also ( used for weatherstriping ). It is BRILLIANT, I couldn't see the trees for I was looking the the forest! My daughter got me a hat when she was little but it was too big. This might be the solution. 👍
@@TheDressUpMom , I have some around here, I just have to remember where I put it! 😲 Here is an idea you might want to do and pass on, I worked the big box store and told customers that if you have a feeling to...or... if you have a little child with you. Just leave the cart in front of your car. If you take it back and there could be someone hiding by your car to rob you or someone could be kidnapping your child. A Grand master of Jujitsu told me in 1992' that you should check the back seat of your car ( especially suvs ). There is nothing you can do if you are in the car and someone pulls a gun or knife on you from the back seat. My family has been security wary for century's.
@@TheDressUpMom oh well could have been taken off or possibly covered up by the weather stripping. You have a nice hat there, I'm pretty sure it's a Stetson stampede. :)
The “leather thing that surrounds it” is called a hatband and the inner leather band is a “sweat band”. Also, you must be very young if a hat from the 80s or 90s is regarded as being vintage. By the way, hope that your husband doesn’t find our about hat stretchers because he may want the hat back.

That Stetson looks great on you!
Well done! Thank you ma’am!
Thank you!! I appreciate it.
I love the hat.
Thank you. I love it too!
Did this years ago with my open road. Works perfect. Never even thought about making a video about it.
YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER!!!

Oh no! Hope you could get it sized to fit properly.
The Dress Up Mom is so charming to listen to.

This hat is one of my most prized possessions. My dad recently passed and it is now even more meaningful. I channel him when I wear it.
Thanks, i got a cool hat from miller hats, i love it, but i had i looot of hair back then 🤣 so today its to loose. Nice to get some tips about this !
I hope it works for you!

I think that might be the Stetson bandit edition hat they made in 1977 after the movie Smokey and the bandit came out
That would be cool!
Cute,cute and cute!😊❤
Thank you so much!
This is Dee btw.🙏🏼😘
@@CaliKatJupiter Oh Yay! I love that you're Fierce Siren. It suits you.
I just bought a new Justin hat that I did that to also! It's a neat trick !
Glad to hear it worked for you. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the info. The foam also is not glued in and you can add multiple strips.
what kind of cork strips do you use ?
Excellent! That hat suits you, too! Thanks
Good job. Looks good on you. You'll fit right in in Arizona.
Thanks! Just ordered the tape from the San Diego Hat Co. for my ill-fitting-but-gorgeous Stetson. You should get a commission.... ;)
Awesome! Please let me know how it turns out and thanks for watching.
Does this damage the hat over time? Do you know?
I only know that is hasn't damaged my hat at all. I did use a product specifically made for hats.
That's a perfect hat! How many inches is the brim?
Thank you! For many reasons it is one of my prized possessions. The brim is 3 1/2 inches wide.

nice score. $2 worth of weather stripping for $10. Great idea though

Do you have a favorite cowboy hat?
Lariat Stetson
Love the look on you!🙏🏻
Thank you so much 😀
What color did Stetson label that hat
In checking the label I don't see anything that states a color. It says 4 X Beaver and XXXX Stetson. It's a light olive green color.
@@TheDressUpMom oh well could have been taken off or possibly covered up by the weather stripping. You have a nice hat there, I'm pretty sure it's a Stetson stampede. :)
Rio kindell Thanks. It’s very special to me.
Ps: Hat matches your style very well
That's a McCloud Stetson. I KNOW. I bought one in 1973. Great hat. Wish I still had it...
Thank you so much for letting me know!
That's weather striping, hahaha
I am going to copy her hairstyle 🔥👌🏻
Aww. What a compliment. Thanks.
FYI, that is ordinary weather stripping available in any hardware store.
weatherstrip from lowes $5 works everytime
Britton Zimmerman Cool. I will have to try that next time. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks I'll try it.
Leather thing, it’s called a band.
Love cowboy hats, very cool video and cool idea since I acquired 2 hats that are larger then my head
Thanks so much and good luck making them smaller.
The “leather thing that surrounds it” is called a hatband and the inner leather band is a “sweat band”. Also, you must be very young if a hat from the 80s or 90s is regarded as being vintage. By the way, hope that your husband doesn’t find our about hat stretchers because he may want the hat back.
Antique is anything more than 100 years old. Vintage is considered anything more than 20 years old.
@@TheDressUpMom I stand corrected.
@@rogerauclair1670 Thanks for teaching me the proper terminology. I’m not telling my hubby about hat stretching 😆 I’m keep it!
Wait... 80s and 90s is vintage now?
*Suddenly feeling older*
Yep. Anything 20 years or older is considered vintage - 100 years old is antique.
Your so cool...
Thanks so much!
It's just foam that you can buy at Walmart cheaper.
Women purloining menswear , especially partial or complete cowboy outfits is sassy !
Thanks!

Your beautiful

Sorry I wasted 5 minutes of your time talking about a vintage hat that has a lot of meaning for me.
You could just get to part you want to watch, don't need to complain about emotional importance
Too much chatter and family history. Just get on with it!
You should have cut the tape before you took off the paper back.
