How to Properly Care for Your Flat Cap

A well-made cap deserves more than just to be worn, it deserves proper care. With a little attention, it will serve you well for many years to come. As traditional hatters often say, there are three simple rules to remember: brush it regularly, help it keep its shape, and store it properly. Follow these steps, and your cap will keep its character season after season.

1. Brush & Refresh

A quick brush with our Cap Cleaning Brush helps keep the fabric clean and free from dust. For small spots, use a slightly damp cloth only. Avoid using soap or soaking the cap to protect the fibres.

2. Hold Its Shape

Place the Wooden Cap Retainer inside your cap when it’s not being worn. It helps the crown keep its shape, keeps the seams neat, and preserves the original fit. Without it, the cap can gradually lose its structure and begin to sag.

3. Store with Care

Our Cap Storage Case helps protect your cap from dust, light, and moisture. It helps preserve the fabric, colour, and shape whether you store it at home or take it with you while travelling.
