A different way to improve your selections. Use the Quick-Mask and paint out the 'extra' selection.
Not the best documentation https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-image...utton.html There is a hot-key, shift-Q a menu entry bottom of Select and an icon bottom-left corner of the image window.
The default colour is red, for your image it can be changed, right click on the icon to bring up a little menu.

Then paint black to subtract, white to add. The X key toggles between FG and FG colours.
A better way is use the initial selection in a (white) layer mask. Fill with black, turn the selection off. With some images the Gimp checker transparency pattern gets in the way and a light coloured background layer helps (although you can change the default checker in Preferences)

Then paint in black or white to improve the background removal. Still need some anti-aliasing (not feathering) to give a decent edge.

Depends on the rest of your image but for a simple shape like a hat, a path around the perimeter, then path to selection, is often faster.
