Some of the elements used to make the hat can be sensitive to heat and it could cause them to distort or weaken if subjected to extreme temperatures. Also, don\u2019t be tempted to use strong cleaning products- it\u2019s not needed and won\u2019t help the hat\u2019s outer. General advice is to use lukewarm water and a soft cloth to wipe the exterior, or if the hat is velvet, use a soft brush.
