There are a couple good books on millinery for theatre, which is my experience. These books focus on all styles of hats and has patterns and basic tips. Hats Design and Construction is like a course in millinery. The book is written I think by s professor for her class so it's very informative and informal. From the Neck Up is considered the industry standard book but it's very detailed and a tough at times. Definitely feels like the "formal" fancy book. I have both and both are very useful in theatre. I'm not sure how useful they will be for you if you're planning on only sticking with felt fedoras.
Steaming a felt hat is typical how you shape it. I used a head block to shape it too since human heads have a specific shape. Shellac is like a glue and will make it not nearly as soft I imagine but also makes it waterproof I believe is the reasoning. I've never used it on a hat before because the hats I made never were worn outside.
As for sewing on a sweatband, it's just a regular hoop stitch around the edge. I don't imagine there will be too many tutorials because it's a basic stitch. You can see decent pictures online of the sweatband and if you look at a hat you already have you can see. Those books cover it I believe. I'm not at home right now so I can't check.
One thing I like to do when trying a new project is I go to Goodwill and find something similar and disassemble it to see how it's all put together. You can usually find old hats at Goodwill.
Here is another example I like
Basically a thin outline drawing of an animal. Ideally a white design on a black hat.
Here is another of what I'm trying to describe - these are stamps on disc golf discs
And another
One more
Any suggestions would be great, thanks!
Well I guess I can't reddit... I tried to add more description in the original post but it didn't take. I'll try and sum up here... got this on amazon here. It arrived in a box within a sealed plastic bag so it appeared to be untampered with.
If this is something that can be fixed with a cleaning then I am glad to do that - but if it;s something that won't go away I want to return it ASAP.
Thoughts?
Well, I found it. If anyone else is curious here is the link to it on Amazon.

almost positive its a Tilley. Amazon link
I have one just like that, and it conforms to your head when worn to give the form you see in the video.
It's pretty much a trilby. You can find something similar here on amazon

Found it and “dad hat” is actually in the description. I didn’t use that in my search parameter, but why did you say it and what does it mean?
a plastic visor

Buy him this so he can just stretch it at home and leave the device in the hat when he isn't wearing it to maintain the size. If you take it to a store to stretch it, then it'll likely go back down.

Depends. Is it just a little snug and you need a little bit of room? You put the hat on your knee and pull on the bill to stretch it a little bit.
Are you just trying to stretch it half a size up? You can use one of these. https://smile.amazon.com/FirstChoice-Hat-Stretcher-Size-Heavy/dp/B01MSJ5LON/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1497111654&sr=8-4&keywords=hat+jack
If you're trying to go up like a full size or two, you're kind of shit out of luck.

I use about 1/3 of a can, or more, per application about once a year. I should do it every 6 months with maybe a lighter amount but as I said, I forget.

Apparently, barmah brand conditioner exists now. Halfway through the video, he mentions shrinking in these types of hats. Never used this before.
