The Ultimate Hat Care Guide!

August 03, 2023

GENERAL CARE

Dust and loose dirt should be brushed off of felt hats in the direction of the hats grain. Straw hats can be cleaned with a very mild detergent & water solution.

STORAGE

Store your hat on a hat rack, upside down on its crown, or keep your Ringers Western hat box for storage. Do not store your hat on its brim. This will prevent it from flattening over time.

REPAIRS

Some damage can be repaired. If you’re not sure how to make a repair or if you’re concerned about damaging the hat further, it’s best to seek professional advice.

FELT HATS

1. DUST

Use a purpose made hat brush to gently remove dirt and dust from the hat. Brush in the direction of the nap or grain of the felt.

2. CLEAN

If the hat has any stains or marks, you can use a damp cloth or sponge to gently blot the affected area, do not saturate the felt as this will damage it. Use a dry cloth to gently pat the wet spot dry as possible, then let it air dry the rest of the way.

3. STORE

Store your hat dry and away from direct sunlight, Ideally on a hat rack or upside down on its crown, not its brim. This will prevent it from flattening over time.

STRAW HATS

1. DUST

Use a purpose made hat brush to gently remove dirt and dust from the hat.

2. CLEAN

3. STORE

Store your hat dry and away from direct sunlight, Ideally on a hat rack or upside down on its crown, not its brim. This will prevent it from flattening over time.
