A hat isn’t just an accessory—it’s a statement of style. Whether you own a classic fedora or a relaxed bucket hat, taking proper care of your hat ensures it stays in top shape and color over time. Here’s everything you need to know to keep your favorite hat looking its best!
1. Clean your hat the right way – tailored to each material
▪ Felt hats (wool/felt fedora):
-
Use a soft-bristle brush to gently clean in the direction of the fibers.
-
Light stains can be removed with a slightly damp cloth.
▪ Straw hats:
-
Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap.
-
Avoid soaking in water or using harsh cleaners—this can make the straw brittle.
▪ Fabric hats (bucket hats, cotton hats):
-
Turn inside out before cleaning.
-
Hand wash in cold water is ideal. Avoid machine wash unless labeled safe.
2. How to store your hat properly
-
Always store hats in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Heat and UV can fade color or warp the brim.
-
Use a hat stand or stuff the crown with tissue paper to help retain shape.
-
Don’t stack hats—especially those with structured brims.
3. What NOT to do with your hat
-
❌ Don’t toss your hat in the washing machine unless it’s marked washable.
-
❌ Never use a dryer—high heat can shrink fabric and ruin structure.
-
❌ Avoid hanging hats by the strap—it may cause deformation over time.
4. How to travel with your hat
-
For packable/foldable styles like LuxeBrims, gently fold and tuck it in your luggage.
-
For structured hats: place the crown down inside the suitcase and pack soft items (like underwear) around it to protect the shape.
Every hat tells a story—your story. With a little love and care, your hat will stay by your side for years, always ready to elevate your outfit and turn heads.
