A Lot of Hat for the Money

First off, **THESE HATS RUN LARGE** so whatever size you think you are, get the 2 sizes down. I wear a 7-3/8 verging on a 7-1/2 (aka Large), so that's what I ordered. It turns out that the company actually sizes these hats as S, M, L so the measurements you select from on the Amazon page are pretty much meaningless. The 7-3/8 hat I got was entirely too large (marked Size L, actual size more like XL) and I ended up having to return it. I was pretty impressed by the hat's overall quality so I took a chance and ordered a size 7-1/8, which would be far too small for me in real life. The hat that arrived has a tag showing "Size M" but it's a lot closer to a Large so it ended up fitting perfectly.

As others have noted, the hat is very stiff but for me that's a selling point as I don't want the brim to droop. The 2nd hat I got fit a little tight, but I boiled some water in a kettle and used the steam to shape it to fit my head perfectly (if you do this remember to take the hat bands off or there could be some color transfer). I also used the steam to re-shape the crease a little bit to give it less of a Fedora feel and more of a Western style.

Be aware the hat band is stitched on so you'll need to cut a couple of threads if you want to replace it. The dark color on the brim is also painted on, not a stitched on ribbon which would be a little more traditional, but I actually like the look of it.

If it sounds like I'm only hitting negatives I assure you I'm not- GET THIS HAT. The brim is wide and strong, the felt is very responsive to just a little bit of steaming, and overall this is an outstanding base if you're looking for a hat to truly make your own.

The lining is top-notch (I have no idea why they don't do a better job of showing that detail in the pictures) and the brim is fairly wide, so be ready and willing to rock that. I usually shy away from wool felt but I really feel like this hat is worth the money. All around good purchase, and I'll probably get one in another color soon.

If Brim is Bent, Use Steam!!

I absolutely LOVE this brand and have purchased about 6 of their fedoras. Almost all of my hats were delivered with a dramatically bent brim and initially I was upset and was going to return my first purchase like many others. Then I Googled how to shape a bent hat brim and the solution was steam…the seller even references using steam to shape the hat.Look at my before and after pics, the results literally took 5 minutes using my steamer, you can also use the steam from a pot of boiling water. I see so many reviews where the buyer is deeply disappointed and returned their item, when really a minute or 2 two of steam would’ve given you an almost one-of-a-kind fedora (unless it was smashed).I honestly have no idea how a box that is not damaged in transit has a hat inside with a bent brim (maybe it’s a storage/ temperature thing) I don’t know, but the seller should definitely look into it, as I’m sure getting to the bottom of it will reduce the amount of returns over something so simple. I love this brand and will continue to purchase from them, plus their hats fit my big head and hair perfectly lol, unlike many other brands. :)

Love Ruediger hats

I'd previously purchased a Ruediger fedora hat and loved it so much I decided to buy one more with a little different style.  Some reviewers have complained that the hat is not soft, but stiff.  This is true, but I actually love this feature, since I am a bit rough on my hats and the stiffness of the shape can really keep it from becoming misshapen.  For me, it's clear that Ruediger strives for quality.  Having said that, my 2nd purchase of a hat arrived a bit out of shape.  The brim on one side was angled upward, making the hat look out of balance.  Disappointed, I was going to send it back, but then I recalled that a little steam to the wool can allow the hat to be manipulated back into shape.  So, steam kettle piping, I gently heated the brim with the steam and instantly felt the wool soften.  This process only took a few minutes. Long story short, I was able to mold the hat back into a uniform shape.  I'm not sure why one side of the brim was pushed upward, since it was boxed quite well with no damage to the box.  My best guess is that some temperature change during shipment, or perhaps the hat had not resting enough after final shaping, prior to packaging.  I'm just glad I did not have to return it for a refund, because it look great. Very pleased with my new hat!

Why choose Ruediger Hats?

They are not only an expression of your personality but also a declaration of your attitude towards an elegant lifestyle. Wearing our Fedora hats, you will become the center of attention in any setting, showcasing your unique taste and style.

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: 
  1. Use a handheld steamer with medium heat.  
  2. Steam the hat crown for 10-12 seconds.  
  3. Immediately wear the hat for 1 hour.  
  4. 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.
