monochef 30pcs Hat Size Tape Hat Size Reducer Inserts Liner Foam Reducing Sizing Tape Sizer Self Adhesive for Hats Caps Make Smaller Sweatband Black White

Initially, I admit I was skeptical about why there were 30 pieces. That seems to be too many pieces. I figure I only need a few and did not want to pay the extra money for pieces I may never use. Then I realized that this was necessary because I used 8 pads alone in one hat to shrink it down to my head size. The extra pieces are nice in case you have multiple hats that need to be sized down. I volunteer for the Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach. As part of our uniform, they gave us these really handsome and classy fedoras made of light-colored straw. When the volunteer coordinator said that the hats were extra-large, which meant "they were just perfect for your head", making the "ok" sign with his hand (he was being humorous), he was not kidding. My fedora was XL. I wore this hat for the entire day at the car show with the top of the hat resting on the top of my head. Remember how I said the hat was made of tightly-weaved straw? This means it's stiff. You can imagine just how uncomfortable this is, pressing on the top of your head for the entire day. Not to mention the hat moved around your head with each step that you took, rubbing into your scalp even more. Upon completion of my gig, I looked for ways to reduce the hat size so that it would fit me better. I plan to volunteer again next year. Besides, I want to wear this spiffy hat anytime I want. I found these pads in my search. I had to use about 8 of them to reduce the extra-large size down to medium for my head. I placed these pads, which consisted of one sticky side, under the sweat band inside the hat. You cannot even see that they are there. Recall that the straw is tightly weaved and provides a SPF of 50+. I have worn this hat a number of times with the padding. Let me tell you: It is now snug and comfortable. The top of the fedora no longer presses against my scalp. I still have a bunch of pads left over. I'm sure they will come in handy for any other volunteer gigs I may participate where they give us hats. They typically do a "one-size-fits-all" for ease-of-ordering. Overall, I recommend these pads for your hat. Your head will thank you, too.

I was a bit skeptical about these things, but they really work. You get plenty of them, and they are a breeze to attach to the inner hat band. Most of all, they work. Formally loose hats now fit snugly.

Great product. Works as expected. The pads are a little thick but other than that it works great!

These hat size reducer inserts turned out to be a simple but super effective fix for hats that run a little too big. The foam is soft, flexible, and easy to trim, so getting the right fit doesn’t feel like a project. Once in place, they stay put without shifting around, and they don’t create any weird bumps or pressure points. What I really appreciate is how they make a loose hat feel secure without changing the look or shape. They add just enough padding to tighten the fit while still being comfortable for long wear. If you have a favorite hat that’s just slightly too roomy, these inserts are an inexpensive, no‑fuss solution that actually works.

Worked great!

These hat size reducers do help make slightly loose hats fit better, and the pack includes plenty of strips. The adhesive is strong, but once applied, they’re hard to reposition, so you need to be careful. Also, if not placed carefully, the strips can be a bit visible inside the hat. They’re okay for the price, but not perfect—just an average fix.

Well, this is a fun life hack for dealing with weirdly sized hats. They come in bulk which is helpful since I’ve gotten a lot of New Era hats that need a little tweak, so always helpful to have extras on hand.

If you're someone that likes to wear fitted baseball hats and gain/lose weight or like to change your hair length, these are a great solution. I am not sure what the description says, but I would estimate each strip does a good job of changing your hat size about 1/8 of an inch. I wouldn't recommend using more than one as your hat winds up looking oversized for your head. These are also great for cowboy hats and sizing can be altered on them to a much greater degree without the hat looking poorly fit. I have not had to replace any I've used, but it's nice to have so many in case of need.

Worked really well and makes my hats fit better

Son muy prácticos para fijar el sombrero alrededor de tu cabeza. Es sabido que las medidas de sombreros entre una y otra son de 2 o 3 centímetros lo que hace que, o se tenga el sombrero, o muy flojo o esté muy apretado. Con esta cintas se puede ajustar la medida para colocarse en el sombrero y sea cómodo utilizar el sombrero sin problema de tener un sombrero amplio, pero que se ajusta perfectamente alrededor de la cabeza. Son muy prácticas estas cintas. Yo estoy conforme con la compra

Hard to peel the backing paper from insert

Para aquellas gorras que no ajustan bien a tu cabeza

I got them for my hat because it was just a little too lose but the strips work perfectly. I like that you get both black and white
