Hat Fit & Care

HAT FIT

To figure out what hat size you wear, you will need to find a cloth measuring tape. Measure the circumference of your head at the place where you would wear the hat. Take the measurement in inches and use the chart below to determine your correct hat size. If you are between hat sizes, size up! You can always pad a bigger hat.

HAT CARE

To remove dust or surface dirt from your hat:

  • Straw - simply wipe with a clean damp cloth.
  • Fur felt / Wool - use a soft brush starting at the left side of the hat and brush counterclockwise toward the back and around again.

If your hat gets wet:

  • Straw - simply shake off the excess water.
  • Fur felt / Wool - you need to turn down the “self-conforming” leather sweatband and stand the hat on the sweatband so it can dry naturally. While the hat is wet, don’t rest the hat on its brim as this will cause it to alter the shape.

Avoid exposing your hat to heat from stoves, radiators, lamps and car windows. The combination of heat and perspiration will shrink the sweatband.

To keep perspiration and hair dressing from penetrating the outside of the straw, occasionally turn down the sweatband so it can dry naturally between wearings.

Should your fur felt (if it is a light color) become spotted with water or grease, you can clean it with a little baby talc or cornstarch – NO liquid cleaners – please.

To put on or remove your hat, hold the brim in the front or back; handle the crown as little as possible.

Store your hat upside crown, on its crown, on a clean surface or in a box. Do not store it right side up on a flat surface, as this will cause the brim to lose shape and flatten.
