The hat is very thin and the construction is mediocre. The hat spent a day in a stinky suitcase, so I thought a washing was in order. I washed this on the delicate cycle, cold water, and took it out to air dry. Even with that, the seam along the top of the hat split and started to unravel. I contacted the company about it. I was told that I should not have washed it, then was told later that a hand wash is all that is allowed. Mind you, there are no tags on the hat to indicate special washing. The company indicated that they would replace the hat for me as a one time courtesy. That hat never came. I would not recommend spending the money on this hat.
