As most of you know I'm a pauper and only have one cotton cap at the moment and it's excellent for use on these low sun mornings and nights.

My issue is that it goes on my head, which has a tendancy to leak fluid now and again and it's starting to ming a bit.

I know IP is a wearer of the casquette but anyone else with tips on how to wash them without ruining them is welcom to join in.

Thanking Y'all

    Your head leaks fluid :shock: do you have some kind of open sore/abcess on your head or something or are we talking sweat?

    Hand or machine wash cold. Although I machine mine at 30 and it's done them no harm.

    Don't put them in the tumble dryer - the peak gets warped.
