& Other Stories Wide-Brim Sun Hat - Black

No, machine washing is not recommended as it may damage the structure of the reinforced brim.

While the wide brim offers physical shade and blocks direct sunlight, the fabric is not rated as UPF; always use sunscreen.

The hat is crafted from durable cotton twill.

It is not recommended to fold this hat tightly, as the reinforced, double-layered brim may develop permanent creases.

The hat does not have an external adjustment mechanism; if it is too loose, internal hat sizing tape is a common third-party solution.

Lightly steam the brim and lay it flat on a hard surface to cool, ensuring the topstitching remains aligned.

Gently blot the internal sweatband with a soft cloth dipped in cool water and a tiny amount of mild soap, then allow to air dry.

Consider using adhesive hat size reducers inside the crown to achieve a more snug, customized fit.
