Handling your hat

How to properly handle your hat?

The lifespan of your hat depends on its use. Here are some simple rules to extend the life of your headwear:

Never:

• Touching the hat with dirty, oily, or sweaty hands, there's nothing worse for damaging your hat.

Always:

• Hold your hat from underneath, grasping it by the front and back brim to preserve the shape and all edges of the hat.
• Once you take it off, place the hat on a hat stand or hat support to maintain its shape.

To avoid:

• Placing your hat on any flat surface, especially if your headwear has a turned-down brim.

Some tips:

• To preserve the brim of your fedora hat, you should turn it up, as it was when you bought it.
• If your hat is a traveler style (with lowered brims), place your hat on the crown to avoid damaging the brims.
• In most cases, place your hat on a clean surface and on its crown.
