ABSTRACT:
A ball cap blocking and stretching system includes a steamer and a stretcher on which the crown of the ball cap is positioned, and a brim positioner. The steamer has a crown-contourer for contouring the crown that has a hemispherical shape and includes at least one aperture for emitting steam; and a steam generator located substantially within and in communication with the crown-contourer. The stretcher includes a front-contourer overlappingly provided adjacent to the crown-contourer so that the inside surface of the crown of the ball cap covers the front-contourer and the crown-contourer; a mover for cooperatively moving the front-contourer relative to the crown-contourer for stretching at least the perimeter of the crown in cooperation with the steamer; and a stretcher fixator for temporarily fixing the position of the front-contourer relative to the crown-contourer when the mover is moved. Additionally provided is a ball cap blocking and stretching kit and method.
