The hat is an L.A. Angels hat from the MLB Cooperstown Collection it navy blue with a Carolina Blue brim. I think if i shower with it the colors will run and mix. What is the best way to make it fit my head?
For a picture of the hat go to:

The hat’s width is fine its just that the front sticks up way to high on my head
First of all why didn’t you buy a FITTED hat that was your size to begin with? DUMB! As most of New Era hats are made of wool when they get wet they will shrink when they dry so if you do soak it in water you should wear it wet until it dries. The colors wont run if you use cold water.
If it’s too big, since it’s wool you can shrink it, but if you don’t do it right it could end up too snug. Fill up a sink with cold water and thoroughly soak it. Let it drip dry until it’s damp then you’ll have to wear it around and you should get a pretty good custom fit. (note: New Era’s new caps are a blend so they will not shrink)
If it’s too small you can break the sizing bands and can usually get it to go 1 size higher, maybe…
Just put your hat on over your knee so that the brim faces you. Grab the hat where the bill is sewn to the cap and pull HARD. (you don’t want to rip the bill off but it takes a bit of force, oh and it voids the warranty as well) It should make a POP noise-ripping is bad that means stitching is coming loose.
