Can you iron on a trucker hat

This method is straight-forward. Fill the clothes steamer with distilled water. Then plug it in and put it on the hottest setting.

Take your hat in one hand and use your other hand to hold the steamer. Direct the stream of steam on your hat, starting with the brim. Slowly steam the entire hat for a minute or two. Then turn the steamer off and set it down. Using two hands, gently reshape your hat. If you need more steam to get the job done, repeat the entire process. Depending on how badly misshapen your hat is, this method can take a while to be effective.

However, if you need to make a new hat fit more comfortably by stretching it out a bit, give this method a try! Fill a spray bottle with water.

Take your hat in one hand and lightly spray your hat with the spray bottle with the other hand. Pay particular attention to the headband inside your hat. Once your hat is moisturized, put down the spray bottle. Then take your hairdryer to partially dry the hat. Your goal should be to get your hat part-way dry so you can wear it. As your hat dries, it will form correctly to the shape of your head. This method works very well if done correctly so give it a try to make your hat fit like a glove!

This method works best for a slightly misshapen hat, particularly if the crown is the main problem. This method is perfect for hats made of leather, suede, or felt which are all materials that can be damaged by water. The first thing to do is push out any indented areas on the crown of the hat. If the brim is out of shape, use your fingers to reshape it. Now take a bunch of tissue paper and stuff it inside the entire hat.

If you need more support, add another towel or t-shirt or something similar. You want to be very careful about applying even pressure and not moving the EasyPress too much at all. If there are any places that you feel like needs to be hit with the heat again, you can go back over them. I love how this iron-on hat turned out! Make some for yourself, to give as gifts — you can even make these and sell them!
