You are the man! I bought that black Red Sox hat again (the 5950 edition), wore it in the shower, let it dry, and now it looks 95% normal, with some slight lop-sided-ness, but I can deal with that. Much appreciation to you good sir.
don't let your hat get wet much now that it fits right. i have a minnesota north stars hat that i soaked to get it to fit right, and now if it gets a bit wet, it gets too tight.
Luckily it's still a bit loose. I'm actually thinking of wearing it again in the shower to try to get the top part of the hat a little bit tighter. We'll see what happens. Thank you for the heads up though.
