Description:The hat stretcher is a small wooden item comprised of two pieces of wood. One piece screws into the other. These two pieces of wood are short horizontal lengths with curved semi-circular ends at right angles to the horizontal lengths. The two pieces are unscrewed to increase the width of the object and thus stretch the hat.
