Maintenance and care of felt hat

Regularly remove dust from the surface of your hat. The trapped dust dissolved by a drop of water creates a dirty stain that seeps into the felt and is difficult to remove.

A soft horsehair brush is best for cleaning dry hat felt. We do not recommend a regular brush. We always brush in the direction of the hair. If dust stains still form, they can be removed by wiping with a soft cleaning sponge. Wipe the surface in the direction of the hair.

The hat should never be exposed to heavy rain. If this happens and the hat is soaked with rain, straighten the folds, dents or dimples, and if the edge of the hat is hanging, flip it up. Flip the leather or textile sweatband out of the hat. Place the hat on a flat, clean surface and let it air dry.

Do not wear a deformed hat. Pressure on any part of the soaked hat can create stains that do not appear until the hat is dry. If your scalp sweats or your hair under a hat, unfold the sweatband from the hat and wait for the sweat and grease to evaporate and the hat to dry inside, otherwise the smell of sweat will remain in the hat.

Never leave the hat on the brim, especially if it is damp and heavy. The weight of the hat can cause the edges to curl. Flip up the brim of the hat when placing it on a table, in a compartment, or in a box. When placing the hat on the shelf, fold the edge of the hat over the edge of the shelf.

With regular treatment, you will have long-term pleasure from wearing your hat.
