Hats - Some tips for preserving them

1. Never place your hat flat on a surface. This could, over time, misshape the brim of your hat. It's better to turn it upside down, or even better, use a hat box designed for this purpose.

2. To clean a hat
- straw: wipe it with a clean damp cloth.
- felt, use a soft brush always going counterclockwise. Avoid all liquid cleaners and never put your hat in the washing machine. For a complete cleaning, please send it to us. Repeat as often as necessary. Also, to revive the felt, you can boil a pot of hot water to create steam, and this will restore the hat's hair to its original condition.

3. Never leave your hat near a radiator Like perspiration, heat can shrink the internal sweatband of the hat. It is recommended to keep your headwear away from lamps or radiators. Also avoid placing it on the rear shelf of your vehicle.

4. Protect your hat from moisture If your hat has been used in the rain, we advise you to turn the internal sweatband outwards and let it dry without being in contact with the hat. Also avoid leaving your wet hat lying flat, as it would deform.

5. Air out your internal sweatband To do this, regularly turn it outwards to let it dry when the hat is not in use.

6. Hold your hat by the front or back brim Avoid grabbing it by the top crown as much as possible, as this damages it very quickly.
