Hat Jack vs other stretchers?

Seed,

You are correct. Take a closer look my Jack/stands do have a slight tapper to them.

I own a jack stand from John Penman and I am very pleased with it. It's essentially a high quality hat jack that doubles as a hat stand. It's made of solid wood and is wide enough where it touches all of the sweat band so it doesn't leave behind any lines when it stretches. The locking mechanism is pretty cool too - it has an adjustable screw that you can set to a desired size which will prevent the jack from over stretching a hat. Well worth the money IMO.

Brian

I'm in the process of trying to make one of these, but I'm having a helluva time finding that piece of hardware. :eusa_doh:

My mistake. I did not notice a taper at first look.

Stretches a hat while allowing it to dry also. Well worth the money. Adjust one time and from then on, you get the same tension.

yet another project in the works to go along with the perfect fit jack/stand. A portable hat hook. You can Carry it in you pocket. Slightly bigger than a iPhone. Use it in your car and on most chair in restaurants.

Cheers!
