Hat Care Tips -
With these basic tips from American Hat Company, your hat is sure to last a
long time!
- Always handle your hat by the brim when putting it on or taking
it off.
- Never store your hat on the brim. Always set it upside down on
the crown to protect the brim from losing shape.
- Keep your hat clean from dirt by brushing it with a hat brush in
a counterclockwise direction.
- Heat and perspiration can cause the hat and sweatband to shrink.
So avoid storing your hat near heaters, lamps or direct sunlight
through a window.
- If your hat gets wet simply allow it to dry naturally. Avoid
dryers or heat to dry. Turn down the sweatband. Make sure the hat is
resting so as not to lose it shape or be reshaped as it dries.
- Use steam to reshape your hat. Shaping without steam could break
the felt and permanently damage your hat. It is best to take your
hat to an experienced hat shaper. He will use steam to relax the
felt for shaping and bring it to a new look again.
- Never put your hat on a bed. Don't press your luck!

HAT SIZE CHART

 Proper
Head Measurement
First, you'll need a friend, and a soft tape measure. You know - the
type the fella uses to measure your trouser inseam.
Look straight ahead and have your helper measure your head. Using
the soft tape - they should measure over your hair, just above your
ears, and a half inch above your eye brows.
Make sure the tape is tight, but not uncomfortable. Measure twice -
just to be sure.
Using the chart below, match your head measurement to the
corresponding hat size. |
