RESISTOL HAT CARE

• Store your hat upside down, on its crown,
  on a clean surface or in a box. Do not store it
  right side up on a flat surface, as this can cause
  the brim to flatten.
• To remove dust or surface dirt from your
  hat: - if you purchased a straw simply wipe
  with a clean damp cloth. - If a fur felt was
  purchased, use a soft brush, starting at the left
  side of the hat, and brush it counterclockwise
  toward the back and around again.
• Avoid exposing your Resistol to heat from
  stoves, radiators, lamps and car window. The
  combination of heat and perspiration will
  shrink the sweatband.
• If your hat gets wet, simply shake off the
  excess water. II its a fur felt you need to turn
  down the "self-conforming" leather sweatband
  and stand the hat on the sweatband so it can
  dry naturally. While the hat is wet, don't rest
  the hat on its brim as this could cause it to
  lose its shape.
• To keep perspiration and hair dressing
  from penetrating to the outside of the straw,
  occasionally turn down the sweatband so it
  can dry between wearings.
• Should your fur felt (if it is a light color)
  become spotted with water or grease, you can
  clean it with a little baby talc or corn starch - no
  liquid cleaners, please!
• To put on or remove your hat, hold the brim
  in front and back; handle the crown as little as
  possible.
