3 Ways to Shape a Palm Leaf Hat at Home

Need some shade at the rodeo? Marty shows you how to shape a palm leaf hat in a Gus, Brick Top, & Buckaroo style. He shapes these cowboy hats here at the store with a steamer, but you can shape yours with just a bucket of water at home!
Sunbody hats are great for rodeo fans, working on the ranch, and keeping the sun off your face & neck on Trek and working in your garden. We like Sunbodys because they're really easy to shape the first time, and then after they dry they hold their shape really well.

Still a great training tool. Just shaped my wife's new Sunbody buckaroo. Came out great! Thanks.

[@cherpagsd2152]

Thank you for the education. I have a nice palm hat but one side got a bit tweeked out of shape. I played with it many time but couldn't get it back in shape. I thought I would try water but decided to google this issue because you can find so much information now on the internet. I have a portable steamer and followed your tips, so far looking great again.

I have had great luck steaming hats at home with a basic tea kettle :)

Use a whistling tea kettle, works great

[@drbrown2402]

My hats off to ya for the video...🌵

[@fideltexas]

Very informative video. Can this be done with an existing hat? I have one that I love the brim, but don't exactly love the crown.

[@cory5478]

I wish you were near me! This is a wonderful tutorial!

Soooo cool thanks for sharing

[@FlourishingLove]

Crochet hat using starch should work, too, I hope! Going to try, today. I want to turn a sun hat into a cowgirl hat.

[@KidCalavera]

Most excellent video, very useful information

[@paulduke344]

Thank you for this video, I was terrified of reshaping one of my western hats until watching this!!

[@martinadejaquiz2482]

thank you - liked

[@DeanMarsh1962]

What size are you using for the Gus hat? 5 1/4 crown, 4" brim? Thanks for the video.

[@SMITHANDEDWARDS]

+Dean Marsh I think you got it, Dean! I believe that's what we used.

[@petesakes1985]

old coffee pot is what I've always use

[@Jason-bg6hj]

Any tips on a 5 inch brim extruding and the front bending?

[@monarchpixels]

Hello, I have a grade 8 panama hat that got crushed and needs reshaping any recommendations where I can send to repair

[@KenChun]

Do your hats fit a long oval head shape or are they just the round oval? I have had very little luck finding a hat to fit my head because everybody sells the round oval only. Resistol sells long ovals but not with the pinch front that I like unfortunately.

[@colbycaldwell7365]

Ken if you buy a open crown they will fit it to your head

[@Threewolfs-]

True; Resistol is the Best for Long Oval. Haven’t found any other straight out of the box for long oval. 👍🏻🤠

How do you shape a shantung or bangora cowboy hat that is not palm straw?

[@scotthamp384]

I've been wondering how to put the brick crease in a hat. This made my day 👍

[@tomyunker3368]

What did they call that style before the movie Lonesome Dove came out?

[@cory5478]

I have a very dirty, 50 year old straw cowboy hat of my Grandmas. Any cleaning tips?
