If you put care into your hat, they will develop more character and become better with age.
Here are some tips for taking care of you hats.
For Every Day Care
* Only touch your hat with clean and dry hands.
* When you put your hat on or take it of or need to adjust it, handle the hat by the front and back of the brim. Otherwise it might lose it’s shape and get dirty.
* Flexing your hat may eventually weaken the body of the crown and brim and make it lose its ability to keep its shape.
* Never handle your hat by holding the crown.. it will get fingerprint oils on it.
* Do not pick up your hat/fedora by the pinch… it will may misshape it. In a straw fedora the pinch will crack. In a Felt hat is may split the felt.
* Do not place hat on its brim.. it may flatten or lose its curve especially when it is wet.
* Consider using a rain protector. Some hats made of canvas, felt or straw can have applications of Scotchguard to help make the hats waterproof.
* Place your hat upside down on it’s crown in a clean area.
* Do not leave your hat in the car or in the sun as the humidity may cause it to lose shape and the sweatband, cotton, wool or leather, could shrink or distort.
* When traveling it is best to transport your hat in a hat box with a handle to insure protection.
* Occasionally flip down the sweat band so it can dry and air out.
