To help your hat stay fresh and in great shape:

• Spot clean when needed. Gently dab with a damp cloth or soft brush using mild soap and cool water.

• Skip the washer and dryer. Machines can mess with the shape and wear down the materials.

• Let it air dry. Lightly reshape and lay it flat or hang it to dry—keep it away from heat and prolonged direct sun.

• Avoid strong cleaners or bleach. These can fade colors and weaken the fabric and stitching.

• Store it smart. A cool, dry spot helps preserve the fit and finish over time.

Simple care goes a long way.
