General Hat Care

• Store your hat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and distortion.

• Keep your hat on a flat surface or a proper hat stand to maintain its shape.

• Avoid excessive moisture—while felt hats can handle light mist, heavy rain can cause shrinkage or warping. If wet, allow your hat to air-dry naturally.

• Handle your hat by the brim rather than the crown to maintain its structure.

• If your hat loses its shape over time, we will always reshape hats purchased at Lucky Cowboy—reach out to us, and we’ll restore it for you.

Cleaning Your Hat

Dust & Light Debris

• Use a soft-bristled brush (horsehair or hat brush) to gently sweep away dust in a circular motion.

• A lint roller can remove lint and pet hair without damaging the fibers.

Sweat & Oil Stains

• Use a clean white cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water to dab stains. Avoid oversaturating the felt.

• For tougher stains, a dry sponge or hat cleaning sponge can help lift oils without leaving residue.

Shaping & Reshaping

• Light wrinkles or misshaping can be fixed with steam. Hold your hat over a tea kettle or steamer (not too close) and gently reshape it with your hands. Allow it to dry fully before wearing.

• If your hat loses its shape, we will always reshape hats purchased at Lucky Cowboy—just reach out, and we'll help restore it to its best form.

Storing Your Hat

• Use a hat box or dust bag for long-term storage to prevent dust buildup.

• If stacking, place tissue paper inside the crown to maintain shape.

Additional Tips

• Avoid leaving your hat in a hot car—heat can shrink and warp felt.

• If your hatband becomes loose, misshapen, or you experience any other issues, please contact us—we're happy to help.
