Cold Weather Hats and Caps: Cleaning Guidelines

If a winter hat is not worn daily, laundering once every two months (around three times per season) is generally enough. Follow the care label to avoid felting or distortion.

Caps require gentler handling to preserve shape and color. Hand wash in cold water about twice a year, or more often if visibly soiled or sweat stained. Air dry with form supported.
