CLEANING :

Machine wash, hand wash and dry cleaning are excluded for felted merino virgin wool. In the event of a stain, blot with absorbent paper and clean with a soft brush or a natural sponge soaked in lukewarm water and Marseille soap, avoiding excessive wetting of the beret/cap and the leather brim. To dry, always lay the beret flat, with paper inside, in the open air but away from light to preserve its shape and original color. Never dry your beret on a heat source.

Tip: To freshen up your beret/cap, apply a bit of dry shampoo, let it dry for a few moments then brush.

BRUSHING, DUSTING:

Felted merino wool is a material with exceptional qualities. However, it easily picks up dust, textile fibers and animal hair. We therefore recommend that you use an adhesive fabric brush.

Tip: Slightly moisten the palm of your hand and gently rub the surface of your beret/cap by forming circles, the dust will then form a ball that you will only have to remove to find a clean beret.

To best protect your beret/cap, it is recommended after each use to store it in a mothproof bag or to use a cedar ball.

Use a soft measuring tape to get an accurate estimate of your size. If you don't have one, tie a piece of string or rope around your head and use it as a reference.

How do I measure my head circumference?
Place the ribbon about 1/8" to 1/4" above your eyebrows and wrap it around your head, going over the ears, where you usually prefer to wear your hat.

Tips:
Measure several times to ensure you get an accurate measurement. Don't pull the tape too tight. If you are between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger one for comfort. If your hat or cap has shrunk or fits loosely, we recommend using a Hat Jack hat stretcher to correct the situation. Do not hesitate to contact us for tips or advice on a choice of size!
