The Denim Baseball Cap, made from washed cotton

Your favourite cap goes everywhere with you, through sun, sweat and dust. Over time it can start to look tired. The good news is that with a little care, your cap can stay fresh and keep its shape for years. Here is how to wash and care for your cap the right way.

Why Cap Care Matters

• Removes sweat stains and odour
• Keeps colours bright for longer
• Helps the brim and crown hold their shape
• Makes your cap last much longer

Before You Start: Check the Material

Cotton and Denim Caps

Cotton caps like the Classic Cotton Baseball Cap and the Denim Baseball Cap - Classic Washed Cotton are easy to hand wash in cool water.

Corduroy Caps

Corduroy needs a gentle touch. Brush in the direction of the fabric and avoid scrubbing hard. This applies to the Corduroy Dad Cap - Unstructured.

Caps with Leather or Mesh Details

Keep leather straps dry and clean mesh gently with a soft brush. This applies to the Leather Strap Adjustable Cap - Vintage Brown Dad Hat and the Classic Trucker Cap - Mesh Back.

Step-by-Step: How to Hand Wash a Cap

1. Fill a basin with cool water and a little mild detergent.
2. Soak the cap for 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Gently scrub the sweatband and any stains with a soft toothbrush.
4. Rinse well with clean, cool water.
5. Pat off extra water with a clean towel. Do not wring or twist.

How to Dry Your Cap Without Losing Its Shape

Place the cap over a bowl, a rolled towel or a small ball so it keeps its round shape. Let it air dry in a shaded, airy spot. Avoid the dryer and direct sunlight, which can shrink the fabric, fade colours and warp the brim.
