HAT, GARDENER SOLID W/SSB L/XL

This hat is available in sizes L/XL and the brim is approximately 4". It has a stretchy sweatband and a nylon chinstrap. It is constructed of hand woven palm with an ultraviolet protection of 50+.

Each piece is uniquely hand-woven any variations in the color or weave are natural occurrences. The color of the palm will vary. The size of the brim can also vary slightly. If threads or pieces of palm start sticking up on your hat cut those off. The hat is lock stitched so it won't unravel.  Many spots and stains can be removed with a hand held gum eraser. You can spot clean your hat with a brush or damp rag. If necessary you can use a mild liquid soap.
To clean the inner stretchy sweatband pull the inner sweatband up and stuff t-shirt or other material into crown to protect hat from moisture. Use a small bristle brush (such as a toothbrush) dipped into a soap and water mixture. After lightly scrubbing band repeat with plain water to rinse. Blot carefully.  If your sweatband soaks up a lot of sweat dry your hat upside down and clean as above. Placing hat in sunlight can help to kill the bacteria and dry the sweatband. If the sweatband is beyond cleaning your only option may be to buy a new hat.

When packing place the hat in the suitcase with clothing items stuffed inside and around brim. Hats with lattice work may need a little extra stuffing. The hat does not roll up but is very pliable and even when bent it bounces back.  You can reshape the hat if it develops creases by being crushed.  Use an iron or steam on low to medium heat and lightly press into shape bumps or creases.  Place a piece of fabric over area to be ironed to avoid damaging the ribbons and to ensure that residue from iron does not transfer to the hat. Once complete hold it in place to shape.

When storing your hat hang it on a peg, hat form, or flat with brim side up. It is not recommend to store your hat outside or in a hot car for long periods of time.
