Seasonal Hat Care Tips

To keep your summer hats looking their best season after season, follow these simple tips:

Store hats in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and damage. A hat box is ideal.
Use a soft bristle brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, try a slightly damp cloth.
Allow wet hats to air dry naturally. Stuff crowns with tissue paper to help maintain shape.
When traveling, pack hats in a sturdy container surrounded by soft clothing for protection.

With proper care, your summer hats will provide years of stylish service.
