		<description>Hi Don,

You want to be very careful when treating a fur felt hat. Don&#039;t use a silicon-based product, as a general rule. Scotchgard, suede and leather protectors might be okay. But test it on the bottom of your brim in a discrete location to make sure you don&#039;t damage or discolor your hat.

Thanks.

		<description>What is the best way to waterproof a felt hat? Would a leather and suede protector work or is Scotchgard the better option?</description>

		<description>Hi Vera, Straw is notoriously difficult to restore. Without seeing your hat, it is difficult to say what can be done. Maybe with a little steam from a tea kettle you can reshape part of the hat, but odds are that you&#039;ll just need to get a new hat.</description>

		<description>Hi Fred,

Every Kangol is a little different. Check inside your hats; you should see a little tag with washing instructions or recommendations. Most Kangols aren&#039;t machine washable, but there might be some instructions to clean them by hand a little. Good luck, and thanks for writing in!</description>

		<description>I just purchased several Kangol summer hats and want to know how to clean them.  Are they machine washable.
Thank you.</description>

		<description>Howdy Ned,

Although we can&#039;t block a hat, Edwin our resident hat whisperer is pretty good about being able to work some wonders on cleaning and reshaping a hat. Your best bet is to bring in your hat for him to take a look. Call ahead to make certain Edwin is in before stopping by.</description>

		<description>Straw is probably a little easier to dust, but it is also much less forgiving than felt. If you get straw really dirty or wet, you&#039;re hat will be in trouble. Sometimes there are more options for fixing the felt.</description>
