To care for your oilskin hat, we recommend the following:
- Remove loose soil with a soft brush.
- Sponge with cold water. Do not scrub.
- Do not use soap, detergent, bleach or any other cleaning agent on the outer. You may sponge clean the sweatband with a warm soapy cloth.
- Do not wring, squeeze or spin dry.
- Do not dry clean.
- Do not iron.
- Do not store for long periods of time in direct sunlight i.e. the back of your car, as the sun will dry out the wax.
- Re-wax every year or when the hat is looking very dry and worn. Recommended wax is paraffin or beeswax which should be available in leather shoe or saddlery shops. Soften the wax and distribute the wax evenly with a cloth over the whole hat.

Purchased a belt and a Trilby from Hills Hats. The quality is brilliant. My husband loves his gifts. Thank you for the great service.

The charming lady serving, just looked at my head and told me the (correct) size. She invited me to try on and take time wearing whatever I chose. She was a goldmine of information, and I look damn fine in my new hat. It was a pleasure to do business with you.

I bought two driving caps from Hills Hats, and they are exquisite. They are so comfortable and the quality is second to none. Extremely welcoming service and the whole process was easy. I would highly recommend!
