Avenel Hats Childrens The Wrangler Hat (91063) Brown S (52)
Ever wondered what goes into crafting a top-quality kids’ cowboy hat that lasts? Let’s take a closer look at the Avenel Children’s The Wrangler Hat.
The children's Wrangler Hat is made from Australian wool felt. Wool felt is ideal for hats. It holds it's shape, sheds light rain, and is durable and wearable. This dense, soft felt is formed by matting wool fibres together with the application of heat, moisture, and pressure. Then the felt is moulded over a hat block to shape the crown and brim. For The Wrangler, the crown is shaped to a 9 cm height, and the brim is set at a 9 cm width. These dimensions give a classic western silhouette. The hat is then trimmed and finished with a horsehair hatband. The Wrangler is also designed for life on the go. It's a hat that’s packable and bounces back after being crushed or stored in a bag - ideal for kids who are always on the move. The craftsmanship aims to balance durability with a kid-friendly fit for hours of outdoor activity.

FAQs
-
How do I work out what size I need for the kids Avenel Wrangler Hat?
To start with, you establish their size as per their head measurement. Measure the circumference around their head - approximately 12mm (1/2") above their ears. Keep the dressmaker tape level and firm, and keep it across the temple and above the eyebrow ridges. For in-between measurements, select the next size up.
-
Can they wear it in the rain?
Yes the wool felt is naturally water repellent, and will tolerate a light shower. When it does get wet, let it air dry naturally. Avoid accelerating the drying process by using heat or direct sunlight, which can cause the natural felt fibre to shrink.

How do we care for The Wrangler hat?
Use a soft bristle brush to gently brush away dust. Light marks can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Increase the water and stain repellent quality of the hat with a rain and stain protector spray. To maintain its shape long-term, store it on a hat stand, on a shelf upside down (on it's crown), or in a hat box. Teach kids to handle it by the brim rather than the crown to help keep its shape. You can also pack The Wrangler, and it will pop back into shape when you unpack it! (Just don't store it crushed for long periods of time.)
