For cleaning leather and suede hats use the appropriate leather cleaners or saddle soap and cold water.

All hats may also be treated with a waterproof spray if necessary.

Shrinkage can occur if hats are left in the back window of a vehicle or exposed to extreme heat.

Our leather hats come with a flexible synthetic wire in the brim to allow the hat to be crushed.

A chin strap may be added by using the eyelet holes on each side of the crown to thread the strap.

Each hat will develop its own individual shape and character with wear.

Scratches or marks on leather occur naturally and are not to be considered flaws.They occur naturally and are merely proof of its authenticity

For felt hats & blocked hats (steamed into shape)

If you’re not going to be wearing your hat everyday, it’s very important that you keep it away from dirt and dust. If you don't have a hat box, keep it covered in a loosely wrapped plastic trash bag and seal it with a tie.

Store upside down on a clean surface or in a box rather than left on a flat surface.

To remove surface dirt from a straw hat, wipe with a clean damp cloth. For a felt hat, use a soft brush starting at the left side of the hat and brushing counter-clockwise toward the back. Repeat.

Because heat and perspiration will shrink the sweatband, avoid exposure to heat and car windows. Don’t leave in the rear window of the car.

If your felt hat gets wet, turn down the leather sweatband and stand the hat on the sweatband to dry. Avoid resting the hat on its brim while wet.

Clean water and grease spots on a felt hat with baby powder or cornstarch. Avoid all liquid cleaners.

Hold your hat at the brim, in front and back when removing from your head. Avoid handling the crown as much as possible.

Do not pick up your hat by "pinching" the crown, either at the top or front. Pinching will flex the felt, and eventually cause a hole or crack to develop in the material.
