Troubleshooting
Hat feels too tight after purchase
Tilley hats often have a slight break-in period; wear it for short durations to allow the material to conform to your head shape.
Water repellency seems to be fading
Apply a textile-safe water-repellent spray designed for outdoor gear to restore the protective finish after deep cleaning.
Shape is slightly deformed
Gently dampen the hat with cool water, reshape with your hands, and let it dry naturally away from direct sun.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Tilley hat serves you for years, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. While the material is durable and water-repellent, it is best to hand wash the hat in cool water using mild soap. Avoid bleach or heavy detergents that might break down the protective fibers. When drying, reshape the crown and brim by hand and allow it to air dry in a shaded, ventilated area; avoid direct heat sources like hair dryers or radiators. If the hat feels slightly snug upon arrival, it is common for the fabric to break in slightly with use. For optimal security in high winds, ensure you utilize the integrated chinstrap to keep the hat firmly in place.
