LEATHER HATS Leather and Suede hats are generally not harmed by rain provided that you dry them properly. Dry immediately with a soft white cloth and place in a spot that is away from direct sources of heat. There are several chemicals that may be purchased to make your hat water resistant. To remove everyday dirt from smooth leathers, periodically wipe them with a water-dampened (not wet) cloth. Ground in dirt and stains may need to be taken to a professional cleaner. Saddle soap is sometimes helpful in the cleaning of your leather hat. To keep the garment soft and supple and retain its natural oils lost during normal use, you may periodically apply a leather care lotion with a soft cloth using a circular motion. Suede hats and Nubuck hats should be routinely brushed and vacuumed to remove topical soil. Spills should be immediately blotted with an absorbent white cloth whenever they occur. A soft bristle brush can be helpful in the removal of dirt and will help restore the soft suede or Nubuck nap. An application of Scotchguard or a silicone based waterproofing spray is helpful to repel water and dirt. Avoid picking your hat up by the pinch as this will eventually cause it to crack or become discolored from the oils in your fingers. CLOTH HATS Cloth hats can be treated with a Scotchguard spray to help keep the dirt and oils from becoming imbedded in your hat. If a cloth hat should get a spot, simply take a damp (not wet) soft cloth and a small amount of mild soap and rub the spot gently until spot is removed. Since most of our hats are constructed, you would want to keep its shape so please avoid washing in commercial washing machines as this will cause the material to breakdown and sometimes cause the laminates used to separate.
