Care & storage

Spot clean gently with a little mild soap and a damp cloth. Use a light touch, and do not rub. Shea can handle rain, but not a downpour; keep the suede trim dry. If the hat gets wet, shake off the water, pat it dry, and lay it flat, brim down, in an airy spot away from heat. Do not use a hairdryer or radiator, as heat can shrink the sweatband and warp the brim.

1. Handle the hat at the front and back of the crown rather than pinching the brim, which can soften and become wavy.
2. Store it crown-down on a flat shelf or in its original box. Avoid wall hooks, which put pressure on one point of the brim.
3. Dry it brim-down, then return it to crown-down storage. For turned-down brims, such as the Lux or Winona, Wyeth recommends an upturned mixing bowl so the brim hangs freely and dries in its natural curve.
4. Never leave the hat in a hot car, especially on the back window.
5. After travel, give it a night resting crown-down on a flat surface before assessing its shape. Much of the shape can return on its own.
