Cleaning your Hat

Taking good care of your hat keeps it looking fresh and lasting longer. Whether you’re rocking a trucker cap, a classic felt hat, or a breezy straw hat, follow these simple tips to keep your favorite headwear in top shape.

 

Trucker Caps

  • Cleaning: Hand wash your trucker cap with mild detergent and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the fabric and mesh. Avoid soaking the brim too much to prevent warping.
  • Drying: Air dry your cap by placing it on a rounded surface (like a bowl) to help keep its shape. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources like hair dryers.
  • Storage: Store your trucker cap on a hook or a hat rack to maintain its structure. Avoid crushing or folding the front panel.

Felt Hats

  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust and dirt. For stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth and blot (don’t rub) the area. Avoid using water excessively as felt can shrink or lose shape.

**For easy maintenance, check out our Soft Bristle Brim Brushes—specially designed for both light and dark colored hats—available now under our Accessories section.

  • Protection: Avoid exposure to rain or moisture. If your felt hat gets wet, let it air dry naturally, away from heat.
  • Storage: Store your felt hat on a hat stand or upside down on its crown to preserve the brim’s shape. Keep it in a cool, dry place.

Straw Hats

  • Cleaning: Wipe your straw hat with a damp cloth or use a soft brush to remove dust and debris. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution sparingly and wipe gently.
  • Avoid: Keep straw hats away from excessive moisture, which can cause the straw to warp or break.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a hat box or on a flat surface. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of your straw hat.

General Tips

Handle your hats by the brim, not the crown, to avoid misshaping.

Keep hats away from harsh chemicals, oils, and prolonged sun exposure.

For stubborn stains or serious damage, consider professional cleaning services.

GENERAL HAT QUESTIONS

2. How do I choose the right hat style for my face shape or outfit?

The key is balance. For rounder faces, hats with structured crowns and wider brims like fedoras or cowboy hats add flattering angles. For longer or oval faces, shorter brims or low-profile crowns like trilbies offer great proportion. For styling, match your hat to the vibe—casual with straw or trucker caps, elevated with felt fedoras, and bold with western hats. When in doubt, go with what makes you feel confident.

3. Are your hats unisex?

Yes! Most of our styles are designed to be unisex and can be styled in countless ways, whether you're going for sharp, rugged, chic, or laid-back. Fit and attitude matter more than labels.

4. Can I wear these hats year-round or are some seasonal?

Absolutely. Straw and polybraid hats are perfect for spring and summer due to their lightweight and breathable feel, while wool felt and leather styles are ideal for fall and winter. Many of our customers love styling their favorites all year long—just choose what works best for the season and your personal comfort.

SIZING AND FIT

4. How do I measure my head for the right hat size?

Use a soft measuring tape and wrap it around your head about 1/8 inch above your ears and across your mid-forehead—where your hat would sit. Don’t pull it too tight; it should feel snug but comfortable. Then compare your measurement with our size chart to find your best fit. You can find additional details in our Hat Sizing Section.

5. What if I’m between sizes?

If you’re in between, we recommend sizing up. Many of our hats come with an internal adjustable band or can be paired with our hat sizing tape for a more secure fit.

6. Do your hats have adjustable bands or internal sizing straps?

Yes, most of our hats include an internal adjustable band for a more personalized fit. For even more precision, check out our hat sizing accessories under the Accessories section.

PRODUCT DETAILS AND CARE

7. What materials are your hats made from?

Our collection includes premium materials such as wool felt, paper straw, genuine leather, and durable polybraid. Each product page includes material details, so you know exactly what you're getting.

8. How do I clean and maintain my hat?

Care depends on the material. For felt hats, use a soft-bristled brush (like the ones we sell under Accessories) to gently remove dust. Straw hats can be wiped with a damp cloth, and trucker caps should be spot cleaned with mild detergent. Avoid soaking or using high heat on any hat. Additional details can be found on our Hat Care page.

9. Do you sell hat care accessories?

We do! Our Soft Bristle Brim Brushes are perfect for keeping your hats looking fresh—available in versions for both light and dark colored hats. You’ll find them in the Accessories section.

10. Are your hats water-resistant or waterproof?

While some styles offer light water resistance, most of our hats are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or moisture exposure—especially with felt or straw hats. If your hat does get wet, let it air dry naturally away from heat.
