How To Fix Dented Buckram on a Baseball hat

  I love hats. One thing I don't like about getting hats from online sellers is that sometimes the structured hat that you bought gets packed into a tiny little box. Once in that box the hat gets squished and the buckram gets all dented and out of shape. When you notice this you get kinda disappointed and probably won't wear the hat because it's all warped out of shape. However you probably didn't know that there is an easy way to fix this problem at home with a hairdrier. Yep that's right a hairdrier can straighten dented and warped buckram on baseball hats.
  A few days ago I received a hat from a buddy of mine who forgot he had the had under the seat of his truck. As you might have guessed the buckram was all dented and it looked like the creases in a fedora. So I decided I would fix the hat with the hairdrier trick. Here's what you need to do.
  1. Take hairdrier and plug it in.
  2. Turn hairdrier to the highest heat setting.
  3. Hold the hat upside down so that the crown is facing downward.
  4. Place the hairdrier inside the crown of the hat for a few minutes so the buckram gets heated up.
  5. Turn off hairdrier and straighten out the buckram with your fingers. Make sure you don't get the buckram too hot to touch
  6. Keep molding the buckram back to it's normal shape of the crown of the hat.
  7. If the buckram is still dented up redo the hairdrier trick a few more times and repeat the steps.
