Great hat, great company!

Have to admit I was skeptical about ordering online and what I'd receive, but I'm definitely impressed and a happy customer! Hat was double boxed, with durable fitted hat box inside shipping box to avoid any damage. Was a tad big, but that was easily fixed with the included adjusters for a comfortable fit. I reshaped the slightly rolled brim to a flat brim and added a horse hair hatband to make it unique to me and it turned out great! Wife loves it and so do I...thanks Ruediger!

Awesome new hat to add to my collection.

The hat was even nicer than expected.  Very stylish.  Great color.  Best part was the packaging.  Surprisingly came in a plastic bag, but was surrounded by hat supports.  See pics.  Very happy with this hat.

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.
