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.
