To restore the shape of an oilskin hat, first gently clean it with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Then, reshape the hat by lightly steaming it with a steam iron held at a distance, or by placing it over a bowl or another rounded object that mimics its original shape. Allow it to cool and dry in that position, which helps set the new shape. Finally, reproof the hat with a suitable oilskin treatment to maintain its water-resistant properties.
