Best Answer: How Do You Stiffen a Fedora Brim?

How do I make my hat brim firmer?

Dunk the brim of the hat in a pot of simmering water for no more than 15 seconds and then lightly blot dry. Set the hat on a flat surface and shape the brim, propping it up with crumpled paper towels to keep the shape if necessary. Allow to cool and dry overnight.

How do you fix a broken brim?

Another way you can do this is to use a rubber band. Wrap the band tightly around the brim and let it rest for a couple of days. After the brim should return to its original shape and your problem will be solved. Another, not so much used method is to place your hat in something oval, like a mug.
