If you have a local hat store they may be able to do it for you. Unfortunately, without steam, there isn't much that is able to be done. Thank Courtney Hats Plus. Hello,

It sounds like your hat needs to be reblocked. If you have a local hat store they may be able to do it for you. Unfortunately, without steam, there isn’t much that is able to be done.

Thank

They, too, are pure wool (laine). Maybe your beret is the same. Here's a link https://hats-plus.com/p-86-hoquy-french-beret.aspx. As for cleaning your beret, a lint roller is the best place to start. Storing it in a dry, dust-free location is best. As for shaping, I'm not sure much can be done. What did you have in mind? Thanks for writing in, and enjoy your hat addiction! Hi Terry,

However, the advice in this post should work, especially if the oils haven't sunk too deep into the fur felt. A sand paper 220 grit or finer might help to lift out the prints. With a white hat, you will want to be especially careful about blending the color. Maybe you will have to sand a couple layers out of the fingerprinted spots, but then they will be much whiter than the rest of the hat. You will then, most likely, need to sand off the first layer around the crown or brim or both until everything matches. Be careful not to be too zealous with the sand paper; you easily can sand right through the hat. --Nathaniel Hi Tony, I’m not exactly sure where you can send it for a deep cleaning these days.
