Troubleshooting

The fabric has light dust or surface dirt

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the hat for use, simply adjust the rear strap until the fit feels secure but not restrictive against the forehead. The hat is a one-size-fits-most accessory, making it highly compatible with both adult and teen costumes.
To maintain the longevity of the accessory:
- Cleaning: Use only a damp cloth to spot-clean the polyester fabric. Do not submerge the hat in water or place it in a washing machine, as this may distort the shape or damage the attached emblem.
- Storage: Store the hat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black polyester from fading over time. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the hat to keep the crown's shape intact.
