IMG_4849.jpgYou can have them stretched by a good haberdasher. I bought mine in 1967 from PJ O'Hare for $5. My head has gotten bigger by close to a half size. A few years back I took it to Peters Bros. Hats in Ft. Worth and had it blocked, pressed, and stretched. I leave it on a shelf with plastic on it so it stays nice and flat. I must say that though I like the looks of them they are not the best for shooting prone or sitting. Today's Marines don't know that at one time everyone wore them, not just D. I.s.
