Always lift the felt hat by the brim, not by the crown.
Avoid touching the hat with dirty hands or unnecessarily during use to keep the surface clean.
Cleaning:
The dense surface of wool felt naturally repels moisture and dirt.
Felt hats benefit from fresh air, so airing is recommended.
The hat can be steamed using boiling water, for example by holding it above steaming water. Do not soak the hat in water—only steam it. After steaming, gently wipe off dirt with a clean cloth. This is effective for light stains.
Dry dirt (e.g. dust, chalk) can be gently vacuumed or cleaned with a lint roller.
The inner sweatband can be soaked and cleaned with a sponge. Be careful not to wet the felt—pull the sweatband out as much as possible before cleaning.
For stubborn stains, dry cleaning is the most suitable cleaning method.
Shaping:
The felt hat can be reshaped by steaming. Steam lightly, shape by hand, and allow to cool.
Storage:
Store the felt hat in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
A hat box or bag is the best storage solution to help maintain the shape and protect the hat from dust.
Straw Hat Care Instructions
Cleaning:
Remove loose debris with a soft brush or cloth.
Stains can be wiped gently with a damp cloth. Do not soak or submerge the hat.
The inner sweatband can be soaked and cleaned with a sponge. Be careful not to wet the straw—pull the sweatband out as much as possible before cleaning.
Let the hat dry completely before use or storage. Outdoor drying is excellent, but avoid direct sunlight or excessive heat.
Shaping:
If the hat has lost its shape, it can be lightly moistened and reshaped. You can use a round or head-shaped object, such as a bowl, as a mold.
Allow the hat to dry completely before use or storage. Outdoor drying works well, but not in direct sunlight or overly warm environments.
Storage:
Store the hat in a dry and cool place.
Protect it from direct sunlight and moisture.
It is recommended to store the hat in a hat box or bag to prevent dust buildup.
Other:
Avoid getting the hat wet or exposing it to excessive moisture, as paper and straw can lose their shape.
If the hat gets small damages, they can often be carefully repaired by sewing or gluing.
Beanie Care Instructions
Care Label:
Check the care label inside the beanie for specific instructions. Different materials (wool, cotton) require different handling.
Washing:
Hand wash: Use lukewarm water and mild wool detergent. Soak the beanie for 5–10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Gently squeeze out excess water using a towel. Avoid rubbing or twisting.
Machine wash: Use a laundry bag and select the wool or handwash program. Wash without spin or use a very gentle spin cycle. Avoid fabric softener and tumble drying.
Drying:
Gently squeeze out excess water using a towel.
Shape the beanie while damp and dry it flat.
Do not hang dry or use a tumble dryer or radiator (the beanie may stretch or felt).
Freshening:
Wool beanies can often be refreshed by airing.
You can also freshen and clean the beanie using clean snow in winter.
Storage:
Store the beanie folded, not on a hanger, to prevent stretching.
Other:
Detach the pom-pom before washing.
Merino wool has a natural scent when damp, which disappears when dry.
