Get The Perfect Fit, Every Time!
At Harbourside Hats, we believe a hat shouldn’t just look great, it should feel like it was made specifically for you. Even the finest quality headwear can change over time, natural fibres like fur felt and leather can tighten due to humidity, heat, or simply sitting in your cupboard for too long.
If your favourite Akubra, Stetson, or Barmah is feeling a little too snug, don’t let it collect dust. Bring it in to see Tracy Atkinson and her team of experts at our new, larger Noosa Marina store for our professional Hat Stretching Service. You’ll walk away feeling top of the world.
Our Hat Stretching Process
Using traditional millinery techniques and specialised equipment, we carefully apply gentle steam to relax the fibres of your hat. We then use a precision hat stretcher to gradually expand the crown to your desired size.
Expert Handling: We understand the anatomy of premium brands and treat every hat with the utmost care.
Precision Sizing: We aim to achieve that "just right" feel, secure enough to stay on in a Marina breeze, but comfortable enough to wear all day.
On-the-Spot Advice: Tracy can assess whether your hat is a candidate for stretching and provide tips on how to maintain its shape for years to come.
