Paul as a 54 year old man, and owning 30-40 snapbacks I wanna thank you so much for the in depth explanation. I buy used snapbacks and this information is really helpful. Thanks again. BTW I gave you a thumbs up.
Hey guys just remember, if Paul can do it you Cantu.

Bought a snap back from China and it came all bent up so I used your tutorial and now it looks fresh. Thanks Paul for the awesome tutorial. Amazing channel. Much love from Canada
Worked this on 2 vintage Detroit Red Wings snapbacks and cleaned it up a lil more and now they are fire. Thanks so much for this tutorial!
So glad I found this video. Picked up a vintage Dbacks cap that needs to be reshaped, and it looks like it won't be a problem! Nice job on the DIY 🔥.
Well, thank you dude, this is the best snapback restoration video that I have ever seen. I will be working on mine as it's folded on the front but I'm positive that it will look fine
I did this to an old 90's Phoenix Suns snapback I found in a thrift for $2. Now it looks brand new! Thanks Paul
Dude this worked wonders on one of my favourite snaps from the mid 90s. It was all out of shape and I wanted to spruce it up and it looks like new now! Thanks!
Extremely good video! Love the way you explain instructions in detail. Easy to understand. Also funny without profanity!!! Loved it!
Dude i'm so grateful for this video and what you just showed me. After seeing this video a have successfully claened and rereconstructed my vintage Sharks hockey snapback "trucker hat" and my Vintage Adidas flat snapback. Thank you so freakin' much for this video Paul. I am extremely happy with the result!!! :D

This was a much more informative and helpful video than I initially anticipated! Though I'm not much of a snapback guy (I grew up in the eighties and hated that the snaps always broke) I found a lot of useful stuff here. My own hat story involves trying to restore two older fitted hats, a fishing hat from Alaska that has suffered embroidery fading and a Dale Earnhardt GM Goodwrench hat in which the black fabric has faded badly but the embroidery looks new. They are my two favorite hats and I really don't want to replace them. Any ideas?
Just started watching your thrift videos and it inspired me to hit alot of thrift stores came up on a bunch of hats. This video really made them popping again thanks
You saved my jumpman snap from the trash. Looks brand new . Legit 💯
Thanks man this video helped a lot. My grandpa had some vintage snapbacks and now they look slick.
Thanks a lot I revived my favorite SnapBack. Worked out great. 10/10
I'm glad you showed people how to replace the snaps. For a minute there I was like restoration!? You mean what I do to all my hats every time I wash them? That's not restoring them, that's just taking care of them and cleaning them. We re-paint hats that are faded from sweating or the sun, we fix the logos, and those are the kind of restoration things I thought I would see. Keep it up though, cuz you'll work your way up there. Peace!
Thanks! My son in-law was throwing out quite a few nice ones. So I’m going to clean and shape them for resale. Thanks again!
just restored 2 of my hats, props to you man. Thanks for this great video :D Now i'm off to restore more of my hats.
yup, im thrifting hard now cause of you paul. love what ya do homie, keep that shit UP, i tune in errday
Nice video bro! I switched from stuffing the hat with a towel to a pot. It leaves the crown looking like a Mitchell and Ness snapback you should try it!
hey homie I have a white vintage pin n needles betty snapback I have a little pink stain on the side and was wondering if I should approach it different
Your videos inspired me to hit up my local goodwill, found a cleveland indians snapback that was in real bad shape but this video helped me resurrect that mofo lol Thanks bro.

Hahaha! So jokes with all the shoutouts and using math to flatten the hat. Awesome man!
Loved it, big help, thanks Cantu!
I have a question my hat is polyester and a LA kings snap back will this strategy work still?
does it have to be hairspray or can it be any spray? I have a Vans spray. does that work as well?
Do you think starch spray for collars for dress shorts would work better than hairspray? Do you have any recommendations for what kind of hairspray to use?
Cool vid man, the improvisation really helps.
this video made my day lowkey this dude is funny AF
One of the best DIYs, thanks
Got an awesome stoner snapback restored properly thanks to you. Ty so much.

Thank you so much , I've had my SnapBack since last year and I messed it up in my book bag . I just followed your steps and everything worked!
When using a toothbrush make sure the fabric isn’t thinning before using a harsh scrubbing material, if it is use a sponge softly or rub in a stain remover and let it sit for a few hours then gentle wash out. Fabrics on old hats may have worn away or come loose over time. Also if using a washing machine make sure to set it to cold, heat will shrink the fabric and break the plastic snap on the back.
Hey bro! Thank you, so much! I've been looking for someone that could teach me how to restore my caps! This is pretty nice! Well, I'll need a lil' bit of luck 'cause here in Brazil the prices of the caps are too high, so if I screw my cap up I'll have a heart attack. But anyway, thanks 4 helping with your hints!
This video helped me restore a ‘95 cowboys super bowl hat in 2021. Preciate it!
is it okay to put hair spray on the brim? cause i felt like i needed to
Is it ok if you don't have hairspray or is there an alternative?
hard core .. nice work buddy

at least in my experience , they will stretch about one size . but if its smaller than that, your out of luck........it sounds to me like you my have gotten a child size cap . they where very common when I was growing up.
Dang Homey This is a dope vid my dude! Thanks!
best snap/fitted back restoration video I subscribed and liked the video

Sorry for my english, but can you also do this with a Snapback when the fabric is made out of wool?
I hope u can get to this comment but anyways I was stupid and but my snap in the washer and do u think this process will work if I use the process?
Is there a difference between using hair spray or spray starch?
THANKS TO THIS I SAVED 4 OF MY HATS KEEP IT UP MAN
At the weekend someone sat on my NOSTROMO ALIEN Replica snapback... now I know how I can fix it! It's like they ass-ironed it dude, totally sux... Also, you're funny! You made something that could be totally boring actually fun to watch!
Will these same method work to clean white hats ?
this was just as entertaining to watch as it was helpful ! Cheers boss

I was hesitant because they've already been done but I'd like my channel to be a one stop shop for everything custom, vintage, and thrifted.
Would you not want to put the hot glue on the inside instead so if the glue gets old, it doesn't seep through and stain?

Dude said he wanted 100 likes. Has 13K. Wild to see Paul so long ago. Preaching the same shit he does to this day. The Thrift God!
What is the drying process is it inside the home or outside in the sun?
Do I have to let the cardboard inside my snap after it gets dry?
can i use faultless for hair spray?
Awesome video man. Keep up the good work it's much appreciated.
