Don’t Get Burned by Misleading Sun Protection Claims. Many hat and apparel manufacturers are cavalier in how they throw around sun protection claims. For a Hat to claim a UPF Rating in Australia (the home of Sun Protection standards) and comply with the AS 4399:2020 standard:
- The material the Hat is made from must be UPF rated (usually UPF 50 or 50+).
- The fabric component with the lowest rating used in the Hat determines the UPF rating overall.
- The design must be secure fitting to maintain coverage during normal use during outdoor activities.
- It must have a minimum Brim width of 6cm (2.4 inches) for Bucket Style Hats; a 6cm (2.4 inches) minimum Brim width for Broad-brimmed hats with a head circumference up to 56cm (22 inches); and 7.5cm (2.95 inches) for Broad-brimmed Hats with a head circumference larger than 56cm (22 inches).
- And, the Hat must be clearly labeled stating the protection level.

YES … You Can Wash Your Newcastle Hat. You will find washing instructions right on the sewn in Size & Care Tag on most Newcastle Hats. Some tips for keeping you your hat in top form:
- Hand Wash Only. Washing machine agitators and Hats do not get along.
- Use a light detergent. Strong detergents and grease cutting formulas can discolor your hat.
- Oxi-clean and other “color safe” prewashes can help tone down sweat stains.
- Common Sense goes a long way. If you sweat through your Hat, or get it covered in dirt and grime, give it a wash before stains get a chance to set in.
- Keep your hat out of direct sunlight when drying. Stuffing it with towels as it dries can also help your hat maintain its best shape. You can also try the old Ballplayer’s Trick: Wash your hat, then wear it dry. Depending on the hat, this can help your hat more quickly take the shape of your head.
