I folded up 2 Ten Euro bills and it fits much better! Thanks for the tip.Fur felt hats with leather sweat bands tend to shrink as they're worn due to the effects of heat & perspiration. Depending on the weather where you are, you might make a point of wearing the hat in the sun while engaged in some physical activity. If the hat does not shrink enough naturally, you could always slip something behind the sweat band such as a piece of paper or cardboard. Many vintage hats are found with paper currency tucked away back there!
Actually the hat might just shrink enough if you apply steam to get rid of the crease. Just make sure that the steam does not contact the leather sweat band directly.
There's nothing worse than a tight hat, so a hat that's a bit loose is preferable to that torture. Within reason of course.
