I thought the quality of the hat was amazing. Even the style was unique. Understanding that bc of the handmade aspect I know that two colors or design will not be alike, but the color shade wasn't even close I thought I was purchasing a greenish tint hat as the picture shows but as you can tell this is a dark blue. And bc it came a day b4 my wedding even though I ordered it weeks in advance. Sending it back wasn't an option at the time.

Of all of the styles of hats I own, Cowboy, Pencil Brim Fedora, Wide Brim Fedora etc, this Distressed Fedora is by far my favorite and gets constant compliments from fans and friends. Incredible quality inside and out. From the stitching and lining, to the burnt details, and the yarn and fabric accents, this hat (and all of the Ruediger Hats I own) have an elite level of attention to detail paid to every aspect of design. I would 100% recommend purchasing a Ruediger Headwear Hat for yourself.

I worked at my companies western booth at NFR Vegas this week and received so many compliments on my hat. After a few hours, it was feeling a little tight on my forehead. It’s just a tiny bit snug, but can easily have stretched to fit perfect.

This is my 2nd hat from this company. I always get compliments when I wear them. What I like most is the price. These hats are literally $1,000 cheaper than the designer hats I've been looking at.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your question isn't answered below

What is hat size recommendation?
- To ensure the perfect fit, we recommend following our size guide and measuring your head circumference firstly.
- If your head measures between M-57cm ( 57.1cm-58.0cm ), L-59cm ( 58.1cm-60.0cm ) and XL-61cm ( 60.1cm-61.0cm ) we suggest opting for the smaller size for a snug and comfortable fit.
- It's important to note that our stiff hats often experience a break-in stage like wearing new shoes then wool felt may become slightly loose.
Why choose a hat with high stiffness?
The degree of stiffening in a fedora hat is a crucial determinant in achieving both a desired look and functionality. A hat brim with a higher level of stiffening provides a firm structure, preserving the integrity of the brim's shape, ensuring that the hat retains its intended shape and design over an extended period.
How can I soften the stiff hat?
We understand that the stiff feel might be a new experience, similar to breaking in a new pair of shoes. To help you achieve the perfect fit and comfort, we recommend the following break-in process:
- Use a handheld steamer with medium heat.
- Steam the hat crown for 10-12 seconds.
- Immediately wear the hat for 1 hour.
- Repeat this process once a week, 2-3 times per month.
This break-in routine will gradually soften the hat crown, allowing it to mold to the shape of your head for a more personalized and comfortable fit
How can I straighten a bent hat brim?
1. Steam the Hat:
- Take an iron and steam the hat. (Note: Do not apply the iron directly to the felt of the hat.)
- Steam the hat with a distance of around 5-10cm.
2. Protect the Brim:
- Place a thin wet cotton fabric between the brim and the iron.
- Iron gently all around the brim.
3. Reshape the Hat:
- Use your hands to gently reshape the hat, focusing on the areas with creases.
- Allow the hat to air dry in a cool, dry place with hat holder.
