The Story

What the X actually means.

Felt gets graded in X's, and the number is supposed to tell you how fine it is — how much fur is in the blend against the wool. The catch is that nobody regulates it. One maker's 10X is another maker's 4X, and the number stamped on a sweatband is worth about as much as the person who stamped it.

So here's ours, plain. The 4X is wool felt — it holds a shape, it takes weather, and it's priced so a good hat isn't a special occasion. The 10X grizzly is denser and finer, brushed to a long nap so the surface carries texture instead of sitting flat. You'll feel the difference the first time you pick one up.

Blocked and finished in León, Guanajuato, a town that has been making Mexico's hats for over a century.

Product Care

Handling

  • Pick it up by the brim, front and back. Grabbing the crown is what puts a permanent dent where you don't want one
  • Set it down crown-down, resting on the crown — never on the brim

Moisture

  • Light rain won't hurt felt. A soaking will
  • If it gets wet, set it crown-down on a towel and let it dry at room temperature
  • Never use direct heat — it shrinks felt, and it does not come back

Cleaning

  • Brush counterclockwise with a soft hat brush
  • A dry cleaning sponge lifts most marks off felt
  • For anything set in, take it to a hat shop before you try a solvent on it

Storage

  • Crown-down or on a hat stand — never hanging off a hook by the brim
  • Out of direct sun; light fades felt unevenly and you'll see the line
  • Keep it in the box for long storage

Reshaping

Steam brings felt back. We shape in house — email howdy@shopthirdcoast.com and ask.
