Question

Is it permissible to straighten and shape a men's hat on Shabbat if someone sat on it and it became crumpled and shapeless, making it impossible to wear outside the house?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

If the hat is hard, it is permissible to straighten it only with a change.
 
A soft hat may be straightened as usual.
