A premium cowboy hat is an investment, and with proper care, it will only get better with time. Follow these expert tips to maintain its shape, structure, and elegance for years to come.
Storage Matters – Always store your hat in its cloth bag or a hat box to protect it from dust and moisture. Rest it on its crown, not the brim, to maintain its shape.
Brushing & Cleaning – Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust, always brushing in a circular motion. For light stains, a damp cloth or hat sponge will do the trick.
Avoid Excess Moisture – If your hat gets wet, let it air dry naturally away from direct heat. Never use a hairdryer or place it near a radiator.
Shaping & Reshaping – To restore its form, gentle steam can be used to soften the felt, allowing you to carefully reshape the brim or crown as needed.
Handling with Care – Always pick up your hat by the brim, not the crown, to avoid warping the shape over time.
