Worked really well and makes my hats fit better

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.

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

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.
