Description

Step out with undeniable magnetism, no matter the occasion. Sculpted from heavy-weight 100% wool, this black wide-brim is the ultimate accessory for crisp outdoor events. It is perfectly suited for an early spring horse race, a brisk autumn winery tour, or a city commute. Style it with a structured blazer and tall boots for an elevated equestrian aesthetic, or pair it with an oversized cashmere coat for effortless winter glamour. However you wear it, the sharp, flat crown and unwavering brim frame your face beautifully, making you feel instantly polished and put-together.

  • The Details: Crafted from black wool felt and finished with a subtle monochrome velvet ribbon. Features an adjustable inner crown and a discrete elastic strap to keep your silhouette securely in place all day.
Care

Your Proper Icon hat is an investment piece designed to hold its architectural shape for seasons to come.

Handling Your Hat

  • Hold by the Brim: Always pick up and adjust your hat by the brim rather than pinching the crown. This preserves the crisp, geometric lines and prevents the structure from denting or softening over time.

Cleaning & Maintenance

  • Spot Clean Only: Never machine wash, dry clean, or submerge your hat in water.
  • Brushing: To remove everyday dust or lint, gently sweep the surface with a soft-bristled clothing brush.
  • Treating Spots: For small marks, use a clean, slightly damp cloth to gently dab the area. Do not rub, as this can damage the natural fibers.

Drying & Elements

  • Air Dry Naturally: If you get caught in a sudden shower, gently shake off the excess water. Allow the hat to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space.
  • Avoid Direct Heat: Never use a hairdryer, radiator, or direct heater to dry your hat, as extreme heat can shrink wool and warp or crack woven materials.

Proper Storage

  • Protect the Brim: To maintain the pristine, flat structure of the brim, never leave your hat resting flat on a table for long periods. Instead, store it upside down resting on its crown.
  • Keep it Cool and Dry: Store your hat in a cool, dry place out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade classic colors and dry out natural fibers. For the best protection, keep it stored in a dedicated hat box.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know what size to order?

Most of our hats are designed as a "one size fits most" standard.
What materials are Proper Icon hats made from?


We believe true elegance starts with the textile. Our debut winter collection is crafted from premium, 100% wool felt. This dense, high-quality material ensures our hats maintain their sharp, architectural structure and provide essential warmth. As we transition into our upcoming Spring Collection, we will be introducing beautifully woven, natural straw materials designed for lighter, sun-ready wear.
Will my hat lose its shape over time?


Not with proper handling! Our hats are specifically blocked to hold their crisp, geometric lines. To keep your hat looking flawless, always handle it by the brim rather than the crown, and store it properly when not in use.
When will I get my order?

We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible, with a goal of getting all orders shipped the same day they are ordered.

How much does shipping cost?

What is your return and exchange policy?


We want you to step out with unmatched confidence. If your new hat isn't the perfect fit for your wardrobe, we accept returns and exchanges within 30 days of delivery. The hat must be unworn, in its original condition, and with all tags attached. Please go to our refund policy page to get full details.
