HAT SIZING & CARE

Personal preference plays a part in determining where to measure. We suggest measuring your head with a cloth tailors tape at the point where you would like or envision the hat to set. Typically, that would be about 1.5” to 2” above the brow. Try to measure the circumference as level as possible as measuring on an angle may give you an inaccurate measurement.

Tip: Hat sizes are NOT standardized. Every manufacturer has their own size scale. Meaning that if you typically wear a size large in a baseball cap or another brand of hat it is best not to assume that you will be a size large in all brands. Or, the brand that we typically carry, Shannon Phillips. We strongly recommend that you take the time to measure your head as described above prior to ordering for the best fit possible.

Hat Sizes
Boy’s Small = 20.25”

Boy’s Large = 21.25”

Men’s Small = 21.5”

Men’s Medium = 22.25”

Men’s Large = 23”

Men’s Extra Large = 24”

Men’s 2XL = 24.875”

**Please note that not all styles are available in Boy’s sizes and Men’s 2XL.

Extend the life of your hat by properly storing, cleaning, drying & caring for it. Our Hat Care Guide makes it easy to keep your hats looking their best.

Brim Care 

Storage is vitally important to maintaining the shape of your brim. Hats with brims turned down should always be stored upside down. Pressure is taken off the brim by placing the hat on its crown, thus maintaining its form.

Crown Care 

Excessive handling of your hat's crown can lead to variations from its original structure or form. Get into the habit of picking up your hat, putting it on and taking it off with both your hands on the brim.

Drying Your Hat 

If your hat gets wet**, simply place it on its crown in a dry place and allow it some time to dry itself. Your hat will dry by itself. Never attempt to force dry your hat using artificial heat. Hair dryers, radiators, and other sources of high heat will shrink your hat. Before the hat dries, take the time to smooth out any perfections. Numerous wetting and dryings can result in shrinkage. A hat stretcher is a good defense against this rare event. **Exposing firm wool hats to excessive moisture, such as rain should be avoided.

How To Clean a Hat 

Keeping your hat clean is easy. Here are some care tips.

• Woolfelt & Morfelt hats can be cleaned with a soft bristled hat brush or soft dry sponge. Felt hats must be brushed in a counter-clockwise direction with the crown facing you. When dealing with mud, allow the mud to dry. Once it is dry it will be a great deal easier to brush off. Grease spots can be brushed out with a little cornstarch.

• All hats: Remove dust and lint from your hat periodically to avoid deterioration and soiling.

Be sure to check the label inside your hat for specific care and cleaning instructions. The cleaning suggestions above are for reference should your hat not provide these details. Nethats.com is not responsible for damage resulting from cleaning.
