Care Instructions

Please care for your Tilley hat regularly by cleaning it as noted on its label to keep sweat stains at bay.

Everyone’s sweat is uniquely chemically composed, and there is no one way to remove stains once they occur.

Try gently scrubbing the affected area with Palmolive® dish detergent and warm (not hot!) water using a soft brush. Then, rinse, shape, and let the hat air dry.

Do not bleach or use a detergent with any type of whitener. This will damage the fabric of your hat and results can be very unpredictable. Bleaching a Tilley hat will invalidate its guarantee.

Stretching your Tilley hat

We preshrink all our fabrics, but wash and wear can still affect your hat’s fit over time. Here’s how to give it a quick stretch if needed:

1. When your hat is dry, stretch it by putting your knee in the crown and pulling firmly on the opposite side.
2. Rotate the hat over your knee and repeat this process until all sides are stretched to your liking.
