Hat Care

How to care for and clean your ACHCo Hat

Leatherette:

Leatherette is water and UV resistant. It should last longer than the hat it is stitched to. We've seen leatherette patches and our bonded nylon stitching look brand new while the hat around it was falling apart. 

If your leatherette patch gets dirty, simply spray some Dawns Powerwash or LAs Totally Awesome directly to a microfiber rag. Wipe the patch down and it should look like new! 

 

Genuine Leather:

When using your hat, please be aware that rapid temperature changes can adversely impact patches. If you get your hat and genuine leather patch wet, place in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to dry. If you get saltwater on your patch, gently rinse and then let air dry in a cool, dry area. Never use leather cleaning products on your hat patch. Most of these are harsh and will darken the veg-tan leather we use or strip the protective coating off the leather.

Never set a wet hat on a dashboard in the hot vehicle/direct sunlight to dry! Leather is skin cells, the rapid expansion or contraction of these will cause damage to your leather patch.

If your hat needs to be cleaned:

• Never wash in a washing machine or dishwasher
• We recommend washing in the sink or shower with a light detergent (like Dawn Dish soap)
• Lightly scrub the sweatband and hat
• Avoid soaking the genuine leather patch
• Do not use a brush on any of our patches
  
• Let hat air dry in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight

By following these steps, you should get a lot of life out of your new hat! Thank you for choosing ACHCo!
