Our Leather Hat Cleaning Process
Every hat tells a story—and we treat each one with the care it deserves. Here’s how our leather hat cleaning works:
- Inspection & Assessment
We examine the leather for stains, cracks, or fading and identify the best treatment approach.
- Gentle Spot Treatment
Tough stains are treated with leather-safe, non-toxic agents to lift residue without harming the surface.
- Deep Cleaning
Using proprietary moisture-controlled leather cleaning agents, we clean the hat’s exterior while protecting the inner lining.
- Reshaping & Blocking
Hats are reshaped using steam blocks and form tools to restore their original structure.
- Conditioning
Finally, a layer of pH-balanced leather conditioner is applied to keep the leather soft, supple, and crack-free.
