Care and notes

Basic care keeps the hat looking its best and preserves shape over time.

• Use a soft brush to remove dust and light dirt; spot clean with a damp cloth for small stains.
• Do not soak or machine-wash the felt; avoid heavy rain that can deform the material.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and avoid crushing the brim or plume.
• Choose a slightly larger size if the measured head circumference falls between two sizes, as felt will adapt with wear.
