Full details

Troubleshooting
Hat does not hold its shape after unpacking
Gently reshape the brim and crown with your hands. If needed, you can lightly steam the hat and then reshape it while damp, allowing it to air dry.
Slightly too tight or too loose
The hat has a slight stretch. Wear it for a short period to allow it to conform to your head shape. For minor adjustments, consider a hat sizer insert.
Stains on the fabric
For minor stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and gently blot the affected area. Rinse the cloth and wipe away soap residue. Allow to air dry completely.
