Hat Size Guide
Getting the right fit is essential for comfort and style. Follow these simple steps to find your perfect hat size:
Step 1: Measure Your Head
Use a soft measuring tape and wrap it around your head just above your ears, across your forehead — where your hat will naturally sit.
Make sure the tape is level and not too tight.
Step 2: Check the Measurement
Record the measurement in inches or centimeters. Use the chart below to find your corresponding hat size.
Head Measurement (inches) Hat Size
| SIZE | INCHES | CM |
|---|---|---|
| S | 21.3 - 21.6 | 54 - 55 |
| M | 22.0 - 22.4 | 56 - 57 |
| L | 22.8 - 23.1 | 58 - 59 |

Step 3: Choose Your Fit Preference
Some hats come in adjustable styles (e.g., snapback or strapback), which offer more flexibility. If you prefer a snug or loose fit, consider this when choosing your size.
If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for greater comfort.
How to Restore Shape to a Felt Hat
How to Reshape a Felt Hat
Reshaping a felt hat at home is possible with just a few simple tools and techniques. Follow these steps to restore your hat’s original shape or adjust it to your preferred style.
What You’ll Need
- A spray bottle
- A clean towel
- A source of steam (such as a steam iron, tea kettle, or garment steamer)
- Gloves (optional, to protect your hands from heat)
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare the Hat
- Wash your hands and make sure your workspace is clean and dry.
- Gently brush off any dust or dirt from the surface of the hat before starting.
-
Apply Steam or Moisture
- Lightly mist the area you want to reshape using a spray bottle. The hat should be damp, not soaked.
- Alternatively, hold the hat over a stream of steam (from an iron or kettle) for about 10–15 seconds at a time. This softens the fibers in the felt and makes it easier to mold.
-
Reshape the Hat
- While the felt is still warm and pliable, gently press and mold it into the desired shape with your hands.
- For the brim, carefully bend it along the edge using your palms until you achieve the right curve.
- If reshaping a collapsed crown, place a rounded object (like a bowl or can) inside the hat to support the shape while you work on the outside.
-
Let It Dry
- Allow the hat to air dry completely while maintaining the new shape.
- Place it on a hat stand, bowl, or similar object to help it keep its form during drying.
- Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources that could damage or shrink the felt.
-
Final Check
- Once fully dry, check the results. If further adjustments are needed, repeat the process.
How to Reshape a Straw Hat
Reshaping a straw hat at home is possible with care and patience. Follow these steps to restore your hat’s original look.
What You’ll Need
- Steam source (iron with steam function, tea kettle, or garment steamer)
- Clean towel or cloth
- Rounded object (like a bowl or headform) for shaping
- Gloves (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare the Hat
- Gently dust off any dirt or debris using a soft brush or cloth.
- Make sure the hat is dry before beginning.
-
Apply Steam
- Hold the hat over a stream of steam for 10–15 seconds at a time. Do not let it get soaking wet — just enough to soften the fibers.
- Avoid boiling water or direct contact with hot surfaces.
-
Reshape the Crown
- While the straw is still warm and pliable, gently press the crown back into shape using your hands.
- If the top has collapsed, place a rounded object (like a bowl or balloon) inside to support the shape as it dries.
-
Adjust the Brim
- Carefully bend the brim into the desired curve. Work slowly to avoid breaking the straw weave.
- If the brim is too stiff, apply more short bursts of steam until it becomes flexible.
-
Let It Dry
- Place the reshaped hat on a form or over a bowl to help maintain its shape.
- Let it air dry completely (about 1–2 hours). Do not use direct heat, as this may warp or discolor the straw.
-
Final Touches
- Once dry, give it a light brushing to restore its texture.
- If needed, you can lightly mist with water and reshape again if the result isn’t perfect.
Daily Cleaning and Care for Hats
How to Clean and Maintain Your Hats
Proper care can significantly extend the life of your hats. Here’s a guide on how to clean and maintain different types of hats.
General Care Tips
- Store Properly: Keep your hats in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use hat stands or boxes to prevent crushing.
- Handle with Care: Always handle your hats by the brim rather than the crown to avoid misshaping.
- Avoid Moisture: Try to keep your hats dry. If they get wet, let them air dry naturally without using heat.
Cleaning Different Hat Materials
Felt Hats
- Dust Removal: Use a soft brush (like a horsehair brush) to gently remove dust and dirt.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a damp cloth with cold water and dab gently. Avoid rubbing as it may damage the felt.
Straw Hats
- Brushing: Use a soft-bristled brush to sweep away dirt and debris.
- Light Cleaning: Dampen a cloth slightly and wipe down the hat carefully. Allow it to air dry.
Fabric Hats (Cotton, Linen, etc.)
- Machine Washable: Check the label; some fabric hats are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle and cold water.
- Hand Washing: For delicate fabrics, hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
- Stain Treatment: Apply a small amount of stain remover to affected areas before washing.
Seasonal Storage
- Before Storing: Clean your hat according to its material type and allow it to dry completely.
- Storage: Place hats in breathable storage bags or boxes. Avoid plastic bags as they can trap moisture.
- Check Periodically: Inspect stored hats periodically for signs of pests or mold.
