Cowboy Hats and More

The most important step for taking care of your derby or bowler hat is to brush it regularly, especially before going out in the rain.  Many find that the best brush for derby or bowler hat care is a soft bristle horse hair hat brush.

If you are putting away your derby or bowler hat for any length of time, stand it on its side on the brim and crown, never on the crown or the brim alone.  It is also suggested that you store your derby or bowler hat when it is not in use in a hat box or traveling case designed for outback hats of the derby or bowler style.
