Top 5 tips an Akubra Hat!Updated 6 months ago
- To help your new hat maintain its ‘as new’ shape, always handle it by the brim rather than the pinch. Over time, rough handling can create holes, even in the sturdiest hats!
- When not in use, store your hat on a hook, a hat stand, or upside down on its crown. This will help keep the brim perfectly curved and ready for wear.
- Avoid leaving your hat in a hot car, particularly on dashboards or parcel shelves. Extreme heat, such as sunlight magnified through glass, can shrink, warp, and fade your favourite headgear. This caution also applies to heaters, lamps, and campfires
- Fur felt hats, like Akubra, are designed for all weather conditions. While rain won’t damage the felt, prolonged exposure can soften it and cause it to lose its shape. Dry your hats slowly and naturally; if necessary, steam can be used to reshape a quality fur felt hat.
- Keep your hats clean by using a soft-bristle brush (brushing anticlockwise) or wiping them with a damp cloth. Additionally, clean and condition the inner leather sweatband with high-quality leather care products.
