How to Store Hats Without Ruining the Crown Shape

At Hat Club, we know your hats are more than just accessoriesβ€”they’re collectibles, statement pieces, and sometimes even works of art. The last thing you want is to ruin that perfect crown shape. So how do you keep your hats looking fresh and crisp? Let’s break it down.

Keep It Cool and Dry

First things first: always store your hats in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Excessive heat and moisture can warp the crown and fade colors over time.

Avoid Crushing and Stacking

Don’t toss your hats in a pile on a closet shelf. Stacking them too tightly or placing heavy objects on top can flatten the crown and ruin the hat’s structure. Instead, store hats individually on shelves or in dedicated storage solutions.

Use Hat Club Storage Gear

For serious collectorsβ€”or anyone on the goβ€”Hat Club has you covered:

  • 30 Cap Duffle: Perfect for storing or traveling with your collection. It keeps hats separated and upright, protecting their shape.

  • 6 Cap Carrier: Ideal for shorter trips or daily use. It’s compact but sturdy enough to keep your hats safe and structured.

These storage solutions are designed to prevent crown crushes and keep your hats looking brand new.

Consider Hat Shapers

For fitteds or structured hats, hat shapers or crown inserts can help maintain the shape when your hats aren’t being worn. They’re a simple tool that makes a big difference over time.

Handle With Care

Always handle your hats with clean hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt, which can stain or weaken the fabric.


Bottom line: Storing your hats properly is the best way to protect your investment and keep your collection looking fresh. Check out Hat Club’s 30 Cap Duffles and 6 Cap Carriers to give your hats the storage they deserve.
