Perspiration will definitely affect the look of your hat, usually resulting in white (salt) stains or dark (oil) stains around the crown. These can usually be cleaned with a diluted mixture of Dawn dish soap and warm water.

Do not submerge the hat but rather use a clean sponge to dab the stains. Dry it immediately with a clean paper towel, absorbing all of the excess water from the hat. This step may need to be repeated several times depending on the staining. Use this same method on the inner sweatband to remove the dirt. Again, several applications may be required.

To help prevent future staining, wipe off all of the excess moisture after removing your hat. If it is very wet, turn it upside down and fold out the sweatband to allow the moisture to evaporate into the air.

These suggestions should add some additional time to the life of your hat. When the time does come for a new hat, please think of our brand. Thank you for your interest and support.

Refer to the sew-in-label usually attached at the back seem of the inside sweatband or call customer service.

The crown is the vertical top part of the hat that goes over your head. The crown of a hat is typically creased to a particular shape when it is made. Years ago, most hats were delivered to the retailer with an "open" (un-creased) crown, thereby permitting the retail hat salesman the opportunity to shape the hat to the customer's liking. Over the years, changes in the industry and the demands of production have resulted in today's practice of creasing hats as part of the production process.

The brim of a hat is the horizontal part under the crown that extends around the circumference of the hat. A brim maybe turned up or down, be large or small. Some are for design, others are designed for sun protection.

The "trim" of a hat is the band, or perhaps trinkets on the band, or even embroidery. Any embellishment that adds value is considered a trim.
