too big?
New Era 59Fifty caps are 100%
wool and will shrink if they become wet. So never wash it!
However, you can use this to your advantage if your cap is a little bit
large.
Take a spray bottle of water and spray the headband. Dry it in the sun or
with
a good portable hair dryer.
Check regularly to make sure it's not shrinking too much. When you get the
right size leave it on your head to dry naturally.

'perfect curve' for your bill:

- Hold your hat upside-down, brim facing you
- Using both hands, curl each end of the brim upward
until the ends meet
- Turn the hat over and roll the cylindrical brim
back and forth until you have your perfect curve
Can it
- Place an empty can of coke in
the cap's bill - make sure the bill fits snugly around the can
- Tie with elastic-band or any
thing else that could work. Let it sit for as long as you like
Elasticated
- Wrap the bill around a large
drinking glass and secure it in place with elastic bands
Get mugged
