How to Care for and Display Your Cowboy Hat the Right Way

A good cowboy hat is an investment, whether it's a felt western hat for winter or a hand-painted boho straw hat for summer. Here's how to keep yours in top shape.

Cleaning and care

Brush felt hats gently with a soft brush in the direction of the nap. For straw and painted hats, spot-clean with a barely damp cloth and let air dry away from direct sunlight, which can fade colors over time.

Storage matters more than you think

The number one mistake we see: hats tossed on a shelf or hook where the brim gets crushed. A dedicated cowboy hat rack keeps the crown supported and the brim flat, so your hat holds its shape between wears.
