Back in the day, 1970's we used wire from a coat hanger. You generally had tons of them because of things coming from the post laundry were all on wire hangers. Cheers!
@LeeChappell-zj3uv The way this hat is stitched, oth ends don't come out at the same time. I would have had to unstitch some of the brim to accomplish that. A good idea, but not easy to do.
My hat like this got ripped, so im looking for new hat. I thought finding this hat would not be a problem, but I can't find a replacement? Any suggestions?

Hmm, now you have a lighting rod in your hat!🎉
I used stainless steel tie wire on my brim. A little stiffer and easier to feed. Holds shape very nicely
Cool idea
You could have used heat shrink tubing to hold the ends together.

Mine are either US Surplus or from Tru Spec and 5.11. Check out LA Police gear. Propper and Rothco both have them.
Army surplus
Hey big guns, you now have a lightning ⚡ rod in your hat?🎉😂
