1. Brush the hat regularly: To ensure your leather hat maintains its appearance, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt, dust, and debris. A clean, dry cloth can come in handy to wipe off any remaining particles.

2. Protect the hat from moisture: High-quality leather can be compromised by excess moisture. It's advisable to avoid wearing your hat in heavy rain or overly damp environments. If your hat does get wet, let it air dry at room temperature, avoiding direct heat sources like hair dryers or radiators.

3. Store the hat correctly: When not in use, keep your leather bush hat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Utilizing a hat rack or hat box will help shield it from dust and potential damage.

4. Condition the leather: Over time, leather may dry out. Therefore, applying a high-quality leather conditioner periodically is essential in preserving its appearance. Spread the conditioner onto the hat's surface with a clean cloth, and strictly adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines for optimal results.

5. Reshape the brim: If the brim becomes misshapen, steam can be used to restore its form. Hold the hat over steam for a few seconds, then carefully reshape with your hands, ensuring to avoid any burns from the hot steam.

By adhering to these straightforward steps, you can maintain the aesthetics and functionality of your Australian leather bush hat for many years.

Why Does This Happen?

Leather fibres:

&#; contract when they lose moisture

&#; regain length when they gain moisture

This is a normal characteristic influenced by elements like sun, wind, and rain, and can be exacerbated by extreme conditions.

For example: being left in the back of an enclosed car on a hot day.

Remember:

Shield your hat from intense heat (i.e. inside a car). Regularly re-condition your hat with Barmah Leather Conditioner.
