This is a wool hat I got from Tractor Supply two or three years ago. It finally got cool enough to break it out of storage, but noticed something odd: The left brim looked narrower than the right. Put the brim flat, it's not. Put it on, it looks like it.
This evening, I discovered why. When I hung it up at home, it's close enough to another hanger to push the left brim up slightly. So now I have two options:
1. Figure out a way to gently restore the original curve without damaging the hat.
2. Hang the hat the other way to push the right brim up by the same amount.
It's not really noticeable, unless you look for it, so I don't want to do anything drastic.
