EXTRA DETAIL
We source our caps from many different factories from here in New Zealand and abroad. You'll find all of our caps are different, materials ranging from Hemp, Merino wool, Cotton through to a variety of man made fabrics like polyester and nylon and in some instances a combination of many materials in the one design.
While the variety is large they all have one method of care...
Gentle Hand Wash, in Cold Water with an air dry out of direct sunlight.
All of our caps, regardless of model should be cleaned only if they absolutely have too. The combination of fabrics, stitching, welding, gluing, branding and riveting make it near impossible for our caps (or anyone else's) to be machine washed without damaging the cap.
