Cotton hat care FAQ

Can I machine-wash my cotton hat?

It's safer to hand-wash. If you must use a machine, place the hat in a mesh laundry bag, use cold water on a gentle cycle, and never spin-dry. Machine washing can distort the brim and loosen the strap stitching.

How do I hand-wash my Asana Hawaii hat?

Fill a sink with cold water and add a small amount of mild detergent. Submerge the hat and gently swirl it for a few minutes. Pay extra attention to the sweatband and inner crown. Rinse thoroughly with cold water until no soap remains. Never scrub or wring the hat—this can misshape the crown.

What's the best way to dry a cotton hat?

Lay the hat on a clean, dry towel and reshape it to its original form. Let it air-dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not put it in the dryer—heat can shrink the cotton twill and damage the antique buckle. Stuff the crown with a small towel to help it hold its shape while drying.

How should I store my hat between wears?

Store your hat on a hook or a hat rack in a cool, dry place. Avoid crushing it in a drawer or under other items. If you need to pack it, fill the crown with soft items to maintain the structure.

Can I remove sweat stains from the hat band?

Yes. Mix a small amount of mild detergent with cold water, dip a soft cloth in the solution, and gently blot the stained area. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and let it air-dry. Avoid soaking the entire hat just for a localized stain.
