Folding instructions
Tweed caps
Clean off mud and dirt when dry
by using a pure bristle hat brush*,
and steam if necessary.
Tweed caps are designed to be
folded.
Tweed is a traditional, hard
wearing, rain and weather resistant
Scottish textile. It is made up of
pure wool yarns dyed to earthy
hues drawn from the natural
colours of the landscape of fields
and trees, the flora of mountain
sides and moors.
Place your cap down on
a flat surface
Remove marks using spirit such as
lighter fuel or dry cleaning fluid in
a well ventilated room. Test first by
applying the cleaner to a small
unseen area inside.
Dry by shaking off water and leave
at room temperature.
Fold your cap in half, tucking the
peak under the cap band
Maintain the size by inserting a hat
jack* inside and adjust to a snug fit.
Leave it in a wet or
steamed cap or
hat until dry.
On arrival at your destination
unfold your cap and reshape
Keep your hat brim straight and in
good shape by using a damp cloth
and iron it on a cool setting.

patterns including window pane,
