In the old west hats were often sold with an open crown and a flat brim. It was up to the wearer to give the hat a shape that represented their uniqueness. Domo will stay in the shape you see here until it’s been heated with steam and given a new shape. If you’d like to give it a go, a tea kettle will work just fine. Once it has been shaped with steam the hat will remember that shape and pop right back into place.
