Caring for Your Hat

Handle it by the brim, store it upside down, and let it dry on its own. A short guide to a long-lived hat.

Caring for Your Hat

Caring for Your Hat

A well-built hat will outlast a decade of seasons — if you treat it right. The rules are few and easy.

Handle by the Brim

Pick the hat up by the brim, front and back — never by pinching the crown. Pinching wears a permanent dent where you do not want one.

Store It Right

Rest the hat upside down on its crown, or on a hook or rack that holds it by the brim. Never leave it sitting on the brim for long stretches; the weight flattens the curl.

Keep It Dry — Slowly

If your hat gets wet, set it on a towel, upside down, away from direct heat. Heat shrinks and warps. Let it dry on its own time.

Dust and Brush

Brush felt counter-clockwise with a soft brush to lift dust. For straw, a damp cloth wiped gently along the weave is enough.
