Cap maintenance is one of the best ways how to keep your cap clean and nice. Simple tools and methods can prolong life of you cap.  Regardless what style you wear, you can always do something for you cap.


In Wilgart, we have been making caps since 2013. We understand that sometimes it could be confusing how to take care of your cap. Therefore, we made a couple of videos that will show you very simple ways how to clean and maintain your cap.


SWEATBAND: If you ask yourself question like: How do I clean the sweatband on my cap? What water temperature should I use? What kind of soap can I use? You will find answers in this video.


RUBBING vs. DABBING: We further explain basic tips of cap maintenance. We will give you an advice regarding rubbing or dabbing your cap with a cloth. For some materials we describe  better options on how to remove dust from your cap.


BRUSHING: See how you can easily remove dust and caked mud from your cap. This cap cleaning method is only suitable if the wool or linen fabric is durable enough for brushing. The softness/stiffness of the brush bristles also is an important factor.


LEATHER GREASE: Find a guide how to cure smooth and suede leather with leather grease and the effect it has on the color of the leather. Basecaps especially, but also flatcaps or earflap caps have parts that are made from leather. We recommend using leather grease to extend the lifetime of these leathercaps.


CAP HANGER: Do you want your cap or hat to keep the shape well while being stored? Try the Wilgart cap hanger!
