Cotton and Canvas Hat Care

Our gear is designed to go everywhere you want to take it. Made to take a beating but still needs to be cleaned from time to time.

We recommend hand-washing and air drying all our garments to extend their life. Save some energy and keep your gear out of the washer and dryer.

How to Wash your Hat

1. Fill up a tub or sink with cold water
2. Add a small amount of eco-friendly detergent
3. Submerge your hat and swish it around for a few minutes
4. Let it soak in the soapy water for about 30 mins
5. Rinse thoroughly with clean water
6. Pat it dry gently. Do not ring or twist
7. Re-shape it and set it out to dry

Waxed Canvas Care

Waxed Canvas only gets better with age. Each time you wear a hat or use a bag, it will only add to its' character, acquiring a distressed look and a softer feel. Each wear also allows the wax to smooth into the fibers of the canvas, developing a water-resistant coating that protects the interior from wet weather conditions.

The wax coating will document your adventures, recording the creases and folds you make along the way, adding character to its’ patina. The durable nature of the waxed canvas means it doesn’t need to be cleaned often, but inevitably you may end up with some accumulated dirt you’d like to remove.

How to Clean Waxed Canvas?

The DON’Ts:

Do NOT put your waxed canvas hat or bag into the washing machine or dryer, this will damage the waxed finish.

Do NOT submerge your hat in water to clean it like you would for a non-waxed hat.

The DO’s

Spot cleaning is the way to go. Brush off any visible dirt with a soft brush (an old clean toothbrush works well) or a clean rag.

For more stubborn spots use a damp rag to gently scrub the area. If the stain is persistent, add a small amount of eco-friendly soap (not detergent) to some cold water and clean again using a rag. Using clean water and the rag rinse off the soap and place in the sun to dry.
