Here are some tips and tricks when caring for your Teddy fedora and cowboy hat:

Care

• Avoid getting wet or wearing in the rain. Protect your hat in advance with rain repellent from a number of brands for a longer lasting original fit.
• If your hat becomes flimsy, dented or lost its shape, you can easily use a steamer to reshape it. Hat stiffeners also aid in keeping your desired fit and style. You can find them online or at your local Western store.

Cleaning

• Gently brush your hat with a soft bristle brush in a counterclockwise direction to remove dust and dirt.
• For minor spots, dab with a slightly damp cloth or use a hat-specific cleaning sponge. Do not rub hard, as this can damage the fibers.
• To remove lint or hair, use a lint roller or masking tape.

Shaping & Handling

• Always pick up your hat by the brim to help it keep its shape. Avoid pinching or handling the crown.
• If your hat needs reshaping, use light steam: hold your hat above (not in) steam, gently shape, and let air-dry naturally—never use direct heat.

Storage

• Never store your hat while it’s wet. If your hat gets wet, shake off excess moisture, gently reshape it, and let it air-dry away from heat sources.
• Store your hat upside down on the crown or on a dedicated hat stand, not on the brim. For long-term storage or travel, use a protective hat box.
• Keep your hat in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight to avoid fading and shrinkage.
