Turn the hats so that the "right" sides are touching and the fronts are lined up.  Pin the hats together and sew around the brim, leaving about six inches unsewn at the back.

Turn the whole thing inside out, using the gap at the back.

Fold the unsewn edges of the gap to the inside and pin it if necessary. Then, sew around the edge of the hat, about 1/4 inch in from the edge.  This will close the gap and also secure the brim nicely with one continuous seam.

You can iron the brim again, to secure the interfacing on both sides, or you can leave it loose on one side.
