Basic Cowboy hat Questions
How should a cowboy hat fit my face?
When considering how to pick a cowboy hat that best suits your face, look at several shapes and try them on. With a creased crown and a rolled brim, these timeless hats have a knack for looking good on anyone. According to the general rule, you want the edge of the crease on the brim of your hat to be even with the outside of your face. Of course, some people prefer a more narrow or wide fit. In the end, the choice is up to you and your personal preference.
Can you tell me how to shape a cowboy hat?
If you want to reshape your cowboy hat, we recommend using a steamer. NRS offers a Jiffy Personal Hat Steamert o help out with shaping your hat. Keep in mind that when steaming a cowboy hat, it's important to only let the steam touch the exterior of the crown rather than the interior. If you aren't knowledgeable in creasing hats, there's a chance you will oversteam. As a result, we suggest you seek professional help for the shaping process in one of our retail stores.

How do I store my cowboy hat?
In terms of how to store a cowboy hat, always keep it in a dry place that doesn't get too hot or too cold. Most hats are equipped with a high-quality leather sweatband, and this will shrink if it's exposed to heat or direct sunlight for long periods of time. Hat cans are a great option for felt and straw hats. NRS offers a wide range of hat cans among our cowboy hat bands & accessories to help you with proper storage and protection. Whether you’re at home or traveling, you must use a dependable cowboy hat can or carrier to keep your hats from getting damaged.
