Felt Hat Renovation Process

A hat we renovate is completely cleaned (to the best possible condition). Note: Some stains may not clean out completely. It is then blocked and pressed. The renovated hat includes a new sweatband, liner, and hat ribbon. Dark hats are lured and light hats are powdered.

The hat is finished into an open crown and a flat brim. We can leave it this way for you to shape yourself, or we can shape it to your specification.This renovation process usually takes about 2-4 weeks.

Please contact us first before you send us a hat to renovate: 1.800.687.7555.

Renovation Policy

The object of renovating a hat is not to restore it to it's original "out of the box" condition but to a condition of wearability. While we take great pride and care during the renovation process, all hats are renovated at the owners risk.
