Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your costume stays in prime condition, store the foam-backed top hat on a flat surface to maintain its structure. If the costume becomes wrinkled from storage, use a low-heat setting on your garment steamer; do not apply a direct iron to the delicate sections of the fabric. For cleaning, follow the care label instructions for polyester—typically hand washing in cold water and air drying is recommended to preserve the integrity of the stripes and the shape of the jacket. The beard can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth if necessary, and we recommend using skin-safe spirit gum if the original adhesive loses effectiveness after repeated applications.
