How much do new era hats shrink?
It depends on how big it is on you. If its just a little loose you can spray the inside band with a spray bottle full of water and put it out in the sun on a coffee can or wear it on your head. If its more than just a little loose I’d send it back because they don’t shrink that much.
Do new era hats shrink or stretch?
Even if you don’t hear a popping, the hat should have stretched a bit, and it will probably now fit. This is especially true if you’ve already stretched the hat. New Era hats have a tendency to shrink even after a stretching, so you may have to do this every now and again.
Do new era hats shrink over time?
New Era hats have a tendency to shrink even after a stretching, so you may have to do this every now and again. Wool and cotton shrink with heat and moisture, and your head will amply produce these elements while you wear your hat.
How tight should a fitted hat be?
Are fitted hats supposed to feel tight? The cap must be deep enough in order for it to fit around the head. While it should not be too tight, the cap should be the mold of your head size, with a little room to spare to avoid uncomfortable tightness. I always avoid loose-fitting hats because they fall off easily.

How do you tell if a hat has a cardboard or plastic?
You can test the type of brim the cap has by simply tapping the top of the brim and hearing a solid and strong sound. If the caps brim bends easily it’s most likely a cardboard material.
Do hats have cardboard in them?
Since older hats often have cardboard bills instead of today’s more durable plastic, avoid soaking the hat and spot clean only to preserve the material. Generally, hats made prior to 1983 will have a cardboard bill—if you flick or tap the bill and it makes a hollow sound, you can assume that it’s cardboard.
Is it better to wash a hat in the dishwasher or washing machine?
Wool caps will shrink a bit with water (or sweat for that matter) so dry cleaning is your best bet for 100% wool hats–unless your head has shrunk too. Finally, wash your cap in the top rack of your dishwasher (do NOT use dish washing detergent!) or launder in a washing machine on a delicate cycle.
