Care recommendations:*

Felt hats should not be dry cleaned or washed under any circumstances. You can use a soft-bristled brush to remove any surface marks.

1. Gently brush the surface of the hat starting at the centre back, working your way around in a counter-clock­wise direction.
2. Use long and gentle strokes with the brush until the marks disappear.
3. Don’t brush too hard or you may damage the felt.

If your hat accidentally gets wet, in the rain for instance, make sure you dry it as quickly as possible. Put the hat on a stand or stuff the crown with plain, colourless tissue so both the crown and the brim are supported, then allow it to dry naturally.

Lint can be removed from the hat using a lint brush, wide masking or painter’s tape:

1. Wrap a length of tape around your hand with the sticky side facing out.
2. Gently press the tape against the areas with lint with just enough pressure so the lint adheres.
3. Lift quickly to remove and you should see the transferred lint on the tape.
4. Repeat until all lint is collected.
