How to Care for Your Wool Watch Cap

Keep Your Wool Beanie in Great Shape

Wool watch caps are tough, but a little care goes a long way. Here's what you need to know.

Between Wears

Let your beanie air out after wearing it. If it's damp from rain or sweat, lay it flat to dry before putting it away. Store it folded or flat on a shelf—don't hang it or leave it crumpled in your pocket.

Cleaning

Wool naturally resists odor and dirt, so you don't need to wash it often. For small spots, just dab with a damp cloth. When it's time for a real wash (every few months or as needed), hand wash in cold water with wool detergent, then lay flat to dry. Never use hot water or throw it in the dryer—it'll shrink.

Storage

Keep your watch cap in a cool, dry spot away from sunlight. Toss a cedar block nearby to keep moths away. That's it.

Why Wool Works

Wool regulates temperature, wicks moisture, and stays warm even when wet. It's naturally antimicrobial, so it doesn't get funky like synthetic beanies. Take care of it right, and your wool watch cap will last for years.
