How to care for and store your wool hat

A well-cared-for wool hat lasts for years

Wool and felt hats are items that, with the right care, will accompany your wardrobe for many years. Wool is a noble but sensitive material, so it's worth knowing how to treat it correctly. Explore our winter collection to find your next wool hat.

Daily cleaning

After each use, gently brush the hat clockwise with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and lint. This simple habit keeps the hat fresh and prevents dirt build-up.

How to remove stains

For light stains, use a clean, slightly damp cloth and gently dab the affected area. Do not rub. For more persistent stains, take the hat to a hat cleaning specialist or milliner. Never submerge the hat in water.

What to do if the hat gets wet

If the hat gets wet in the rain, carefully shake off excess water and place it on a flat surface to air dry naturally. Never use a hairdryer or place it near heaters, as heat can deform the felt.

How to store correctly

Always store your hat in a hat box or on a dedicated hat stand. Avoid stacking objects on top of it. If you don't have a box, place it crown-down on a clean surface to preserve the brim's shape.

Moth protection

Natural wool can attract moths. Place lavender or cedar sachets near the hat during storage. Avoid chemical products that can damage the fibers.

When to reshape

Over time, the hat may slightly lose its shape. A professional milliner can restore it with steam. At home, you can carefully use a garment steamer, gently shaping it with your hands while the felt is still warm. See our men's winter hats and women's winter hats.
