Reshaping a felt hat at home
Hey folks, following on from my thread about finding a hat, I’ve managed to get a Resistol 4X however the brim and I looking at the pics I think the crown will need some slight reshaping. Does anyone have any materials on doing so at home? Pics attached. Can spend a small amount on necessary tools/things to do it but ideally no more than £30

Never done with felt, just wicker and rattan. Believe it's the same idea? Just spray with water and reshape, then dry with a hair dryer
You may want an implement to shape it around.
A garment steamer does a good job of this
I think at a hat shop they use a more powerful equivalent but a handheld one worked just fine for me
