Care and notes

Basic care preserves the wool felt, leather trim and embroidered badge so the hat remains presentable for display or occasional wear.

• Spot clean with a soft brush or damp cloth; avoid machine washing.
• Keep away from prolonged moisture and strong heat to protect wool and leather.
• Avoid heavy abrasion on the embroidered badge and tricolour details.
• Preparation time: 3 working days from payment—high demand may affect availability.
