Care Instructions
Proper care will ensure your Gatsby hat maintains its shape, texture, and longevity:
- Spot Clean Only: Avoid machine washing or submerging the hat in water. For small stains, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild wool-safe detergent. Blot the area rather than rubbing vigorously.
- Air Dry: After spot cleaning, allow the hat to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat sources like hair dryers, which can damage the wool fibres and alter the hat's shape.
- Maintain Shape: To preserve its classic 8-panel shape, consider stuffing the crown lightly with tissue paper when not in use. Avoid folding or crushing the hat.
- Storage: Store the hat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A hat box or on a clean shelf is ideal to prevent dust accumulation and maintain its form.
