I bought a Hoquy Beret/Laulhere a month or so ago and have yet to wear it out (kinda waiting for Fall). I had a look at it last night and gave it another try-on as it was just slightly big when I first got it. Well, it's sweat band has shrunk and cupped and dried out a good bit, making it slightly tight and the stitching is digging into my forehead.
I'm having a devil of a time with hats fitting, or not.
What is good for making the sweat band supple again (sweat? saddle soap?) and would stretching it be the thing to do or would wearing the bugger do the job?
Real nice beret and I think it looks swell on me. Still looking for that signature hat and this beret is very close. Kinda think that I'd have done better to get something without a sweat band, but I have this one and I'm going to make it work.
