Care Instructions

Care Instructions

Your Ranch Legacy hat is crafted to provide years of style and durability. Proper care will help maintain its shape, appearance, and performance.

General Care

  • Always handle your hat by the brim rather than the crown whenever possible.
  • Store your hat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
  • Keep your hat away from prolonged exposure to moisture and humidity.
  • Avoid placing heavy objects on top of your hat to prevent deformation.

Cleaning

Felt Hats

  • Remove dust using a soft hat brush.
  • Brush in a counterclockwise direction to maintain the felt's finish.
  • For light stains, use a clean, damp cloth and gently blot the affected area.
  • Do not soak the hat or use harsh cleaning chemicals.

Straw Hats

  • Wipe with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth.
  • Remove dust with a soft brush.
  • Avoid excessive moisture, which may weaken or distort the straw fibers.

Water Exposure

While some hats can tolerate light moisture, they are not fully waterproof.

If your hat becomes wet:

  1. Gently shake off excess water.
  2. Allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature.
  3. Do not use a hair dryer, heater, or direct sunlight to speed up the drying process.

Reshaping

If your hat loses its shape:

  • Gently reshape it by hand while it is dry.
  • For felt hats, light steam may help restore the original shape. Use caution and avoid excessive heat.
  • Allow the hat to cool completely before wearing or storing it.

Storage

For best results:

  • Store your hat upside down, resting on the crown, or on a hat stand.
  • Use a hat box for long-term storage.
  • Avoid hanging your hat by the brim for extended periods.

Travel Tips

When traveling:

  • Use a structured hat case whenever possible.
  • Do not crush or tightly pack your hat inside luggage.
  • Keep heavy items away from your hat during transport.

Avoid

To extend the life of your hat, avoid:

  • Machine washing
  • Dry cleaning unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer
  • Bleach or harsh detergents
  • Excessive heat
  • Long-term exposure to direct sunlight
  • Folding or crushing the hat
