FAQs
Is this hat machine washable?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it may damage the structure of the reinforced brim.
Does the hat provide UV protection?
While the wide brim offers physical shade and blocks direct sunlight, the fabric is not rated as UPF; always use sunscreen.
What material is the hat made from?
The hat is crafted from durable cotton twill.
Can the hat be folded into a suitcase?
It is not recommended to fold this hat tightly, as the reinforced, double-layered brim may develop permanent creases.
Is the fit adjustable?
The hat does not have an external adjustment mechanism; if it is too loose, internal hat sizing tape is a common third-party solution.
Troubleshooting
Brim is drooping or losing its shape
Lightly steam the brim and lay it flat on a hard surface to cool, ensuring the topstitching remains aligned.
Sweatband feels damp or salty
Gently blot the internal sweatband with a soft cloth dipped in cool water and a tiny amount of mild soap, then allow to air dry.
Hat is too loose in windy conditions
Consider using adhesive hat size reducers inside the crown to achieve a more snug, customized fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your & Other Stories Wide-Brim Sun Hat maintains its shape and functionality, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing, as the internal stiffening agents in the brim may lose integrity.
- Storage: Store the hat in a cool, dry place. To keep the brim flat, it is recommended to lay it flat rather than folding or rolling it for extended periods.
- Compatibility: The neutral black tone allows this piece to be styled with virtually any color palette, making it a versatile addition to any unisex summer wardrobe.
- Shape Recovery: If the brim becomes slightly misshapen, light steam can be used to reshape the cotton twill, though care should be taken not to soak the material.
