Our take · Researched, not tested

Hat a touch loose? Two peel-and-stick strips take up the slack.

A hat that's a hair too big slides down and tips forward every time you look at your boots. Each pack of these reducers holds two self-adhesive sizers. Peel off the backing and press one inside the front of the crown, and the hat sits snugger. A hat should fit like a handshake, firm without a fight, and this is the simplest way to get there.

Walt's tip: Start with one strip and add the second only if the hat still moves when you nod.

Great for
