Frequently Asked Questions
What does 5X mean on a felt hat?
The X rating indicates the quality grade of the felt material. A 5X felt hat represents a premium quality tier — finer, smoother, and with better shape retention than lower-rated felt hats. The higher the X, the higher the quality of the felt blend.
Is felt suitable for rain?
Quality felt hats have natural water resistance and can handle light moisture. However, prolonged exposure to heavy rain can affect the shape and finish. If your hat gets wet, reshape it while damp and allow it to dry naturally away from heat.
