Has anyone here removed a satin liner from a baseball cap or other hat? I have a Capas brand linen cap with a satin liner and it has exactly 0% breathability and I get overheated every time I wear it. It seems easy enough to snip out of there but I’m wondering if there’s something I’m not considering.

Do you think I could get 1.5 inches with something like this?
-
@aimes Maybe yes, maybe no…how much have the pants been stretched already, are they new, what material are they made out of, etc. Numerous members on the forum have used them in the past with varying results.
One popped his jeans button off his pants using one (or maybe it was the car jack method).

@goosehd @tody @Aetas and @scarfmace
Thanks guys for thinking of me! I have been pretty absent here, sorry. I'm afraid I had and have some things to work out and have a bit moved on (also because I try to stay away from temptation haha). But maybe it would be a good idea to show up more frequently and toss up a pic or two. But beware, I've changed to wearing slim fits (still enjoying my leather gear though). Have a good one and maybe see you soon.(BTW I'd have loved to got to the Hamburg IH party but then a Metal Festival came along that I couldn't miss out on).

@Max-Power Good to hear from you and completely understand taking time away from the forum. Just happy to have you check in and post
Stop in once in a while, and we promise not to tempt you…too much.
Miss you Flo!!

Thanks a lot, much appreciated! Will try my best to show some action soon!

@goosehd Hey goose, these would be new. 210z 888s indigo. Basically, I'm a 37 waist. The 38s are too big and the 36s fit great except the waist is 1.5 inches too small. Thanks

Of course it would!

@Max-Power haha I hear ya, man — the temptation factor of the forum is astronomical, was just chatting with someone about this the other day. Nonetheless great to see you pop up again! Don't be too much of a stranger

@Max-Power Do you still have the IHM-15 coat? Recently got one, and found your old posts, hence my shoutout here!

Indeed I do, I sold a few items but this remains a grail item for cold winter days. My old IHM 08 (m65, hope I recall the number correctly) and ihj 35 are also still going strong.

@AdamJ much appreciated! Speaking of... how is the restock coming?

@goosehd good tip!

You should be able to just flip up the sweatband and snip or seam rip it out. Only issues you may come across are unsightly exposed seams on the inside that weren’t meant to be seen, or possibly the underside of the top button on the inside may feel uncomfortable on the top of your head. I’ve done it to some and the bottom of the snap slightly pulled the hairs on the top of my head.
That hat looks like one that was made from a company I worked with for years in Newark, NJ. If the white union size tag has a BHM or an HC on it, it was one of ours.

Thanks @chrisjohnnick ill check out the tag tomorrow and try and remove the liner. If the under side of the button tab causes issues I’ll find a solution with a piece of tape or similar.
