Care and notes

Simple care will keep the beret looking its best while preserving shape and fabric.

• Prefer dry cleaning for wool to avoid shrinkage; spot clean minor stains with a damp cloth.
• Reshape and store on a flat surface or on a hat form to maintain the plate diameter and edge.
• Do not machine wash or tumble dry; nylon content does not make it machine-safe for wool cycle risks.
• Not personal protective equipment: this is an apparel item, not body armor or ballistic gear.
• Limited stock: availability can be restricted due to demand and traditional production.
