- How do you clean a Stüssy hat?
How you clean your hat will depend on what material it is made from. All Stüssy hats come with a care label inside, which will tell you the fabric and the best way to maintain its original condition.
• We would recommend always following the care instructions on the label, but beanie hats can typically be hand washed in lukewarm water with a delicate laundry detergent.
• To keep your Stüssy cotton-twill baseball cap looking its best, spot clean with a damp cloth or hand wash in cold water with a gentle laundry detergent. Avoid machine washing, using bleach or tumble drying your baseball cap. Let the hat air dry naturally and away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading and discoloration.
• The brand’s velvet baseball caps and fleece driver caps are spot clean only, while the cotton-canvas bucket hats can be hand washed.
