Hat Jack - Wood Hat Stretcher
A Hat Jack is a wooden, adjustable stretcher used to increase the size of felt. It works by placing the tool inside the crown and twisting the handle to create tension, often paired with steam for better results. It also maintains shape during storage.
Color — Natural
Between sizes? Take the larger — sweatbands can be padded.
