Reshaping a leather hat?

[alien]

Many years ago I was given this hat as a gift.
I used it for years but sfter changing jobs a few years ago it got "put away".
Well I found where it got stuffed:mad: a while back and want to use it again.
Its got a peice of steel in the rim which has never held shape 100% but I don't know how or what to do to get the shape back.
Do I wet it like a felt hat? Strech it somehow? other?
All help appreciated,Thanks.

Yes wetting it to get it pliable is the way to go.

Wet it then pack it with rolled up paper to the shap it was leave it to dry and then apply a bit of leather dressing

I reckon it looks great as it is, has a nice "worn in" look about it!!!!:whistling::Rolling::Rolling:

Yep looks great the way it is just stick it on ya head & it will take the shape eventualy . . . .

Just start wearing it again Kyle.
..... a few dirty hand marks and a couple of sweat stains and it'll fit like an old boot again.
