    I try to, but the bend always looks stupid, how do you do it correctly? I want to pick this one up

    We can't all pull off the cool gangster look like HCP, so i like the bent ones.

    I've heard you can bend it to a coke can/mug, and rubber band it for several days.

    I bend every single one of my hats. It's never occurred to me there was any way to bend a hat but to put it on and squeeze the sides of the bill.

    I've tried a few different methods, but usually I just bend it with my hands over a period of time. One person suggested putting it in a coffee mug. It works okay, but I still think it's just something that you mold and shape gradually.

    This is the one hat I have. I've had it for about 2 years and worn it 3 times. I don't like hats.

    I never bent the bill by the way.

    It needs to be asked. Are you talking about bending it "Ironic Hipster" style or "Redneck" style?

    Just work with it. I start by rolling it very tightly and then it lossens to fit my head over a few days.

    You just knew that somebody HAD to make a YouTube video on how to do it:

    I'm just thankful it wasn't a Lakers fan.

    I don't wear hats anymore, but I do like visor in the sun. Then again, I have very thick hair, and hats make my head itch like crazy.

    What a wimp. I use a hammer. I keep my antennae trimmed so I can fit my hat on.
