Autumn and winter bring not only cold temperatures, but also bad weather from time to time. This raises the question of whether you can wear hats in the rain or snow without hesitation. The answer is: No, you can't. At least not all of them!
Wool felt has proven to be a durable material over the years, but it is not inherently waterproof. It takes more specialized processing and impregnation to make a hat "Waterproof". Since this is not done to every hat, not every hat is waterproof. Many hats from Hut Styler such as our Trilby Felt Hat Trento, Fedora Felt Hat Milano or our Outdoor Rain Hat Piemont are specially processed and waterproof.
There is only one important thing you should definitely keep in mind with any hat once it gets wet. Do not bend or fold, but simply lay it on the table and let it dry in its original shape. This way it will keep its shape for a long time.
