Hat Care

General Care: Do NOT put your hat in the washing machine, dryer or iron it.

Maintain Shape: When not wearing your hat, store it upside down on its crown to keep the brim in shape or place on a hat stand.

Gentle Handling: Avoid squeezing the front of the hat when putting it on.

Avoid Heat: Keep your hat away from extreme heat sources like vehicle dashboards or heaters.

Wet Hat Care: If your hat gets wet, let it air dry naturally, upside down, with the inner band turned out. Avoid using heat, as it can cause the hat to shrink. Ensure the brim and crown are shaped as desired before allowing the hat to dry.

Salt Water is Corrosive: If you wear your hat at the beach or on the water or anywhere there may be a high concentration of salt in the air, it is recommended that you give you hat a thorough wipe with a clean damp (not wet) cloth. You may need to do this a couple of times to ensure you have removed all the salt.

Regular Cleaning: Brush your hat in an anti-clockwise direction with a soft bristle brush to keep it clean and dust-free. For advanced cleaning, consult a specialist.

Reshape with Steam: Use steam (from a boiled kettle) to reshape the crown and prevent pinches and creases. Take suitable precautions to avoid burns.

Use a Hat Jack: A Hat Jack (also called a hat stretcher) is a great tool if you plan on storing your hat for any time or even if you just want to maintain the size.

Storage Tip: If storing in a cupboard, add cedar wood or mothballs to prevent insect damage.
