Storing Your Hat

On a wall

This is our favorite way of storing hats. Use a longer nail or hook to hang your hat by the interior portion of the crown, laying the brim flat against the wall.

When storing your hat on a shelf, store it upside down on the crown. This will ensure the brim of the hat does not take a new unwanted shape.

This can be the best option for keeping your hat dust and dirt free while still maintaining a perfect shape. We recommend storing the wool hats in the bag(s) they ship in and store your straw hat bagless on its crown (upside down).

Cleaning

Wool

Dust can accumulate on a hat under any normal condition. Dust can be removed by brushing with a soft brush. Always brush in a counterclockwise direction.

Straw

Dust or dirt can also be removed by wiping the hat with a lightly damp (not too wet) towel that will not transfer color or fibers.

Travel

The best way to travel with a hat

Create a nest like shape in your suitcase, that will help cradle the brim and crown of the hat. Placing your hat crown down, be sure to support the brim and fill the crown with soft article of clothes.

Size Guide

How to measure your head

We prefer that you measure your head in centimeters because it tends to be more accurate than inches. Measure several times to ensure accuracy.

step 1

To measure your head size where your hat will sit, gather a cloth measuring tape or a simple string.

step 2

Start at the back of your head by gently wrapping the measuring tape or string towards your forehead a half inch (temple area) above your ears. Meet both ends of the measuring tape or string at the center of your forehead above the eyebrows.

step 3

Mark where those two points meet and measure the distance between the start and end points. If using a string, measure the start and end points against a ruler to find your hat size. Use this measurement to determine your hat size. Hat sizes vary by style, so be sure to check the unique fit for each.
