maximize the life of your hat

• Whenever possible, it’s a good idea to keep a band block inside the band of your hat when you’re not wearing it. Available for purchase here.

• When not wearing, if you don’t have a hat rack available, place it upside down on the crown. Laying it on the brim could result in loss of shape.

• Don’t leave your hat in a hot environment like a vehicle or anywhere without a controlled climate. Heat will cause the sweatband to shrink.

• If your hat gets wet you’ll want to let it air-dry using one of two methods:

  • Fold the sweatband down and set the hat on the flipped down sweatband in a safe location.

  • Keep wearing the hat until it dries completely - if possible, this is preferred and will essentially form the hat perfectly to your head.

  • DO NOT attempt to speed drying process with a hair dryer or anything else.

• Use a hat brush to dust loose dirt off of your hat.

• Clean dirt off with a damp cloth if necessary.

• Use a lint brush or piece of tape to remove fuzz, hair and lint from your hat.

• Try to avoid adjusting hat by the crown if you hope to keep the shape in tact. Remove and adjust your hat by the brim close to the crown.

• Allow perspiration and oil to evaporate from the sweatband by flipping it down and setting hat in a safe place every once in a while. This helps keep it from soaking into the hat.
