Review on Wholesale Enzyme Washed Cotton Castro Outdoor Recreation for Hiking & Outdoor Recreation Clothing by Brandon Kraemer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good well tailored hat, slightly different style for a cadet cap. Machine wash, I'm sure.

Very good quality for the price. There is no front seam on the crown and the bodice is sewn in 4 parts and the seams go diagonally to the front of the hat - the first one I see. Good. I'm pretty sure this is machine washable because it's cotton, the stitching is well done and most bills are now plastic on the inside. I used to wear my cadet caps (only 15 m in all colors) once or more a year. I made a mold out of rigid foam (I cover it with a plastic bag). After they're washed and dried, I soak them in spray starch and place them on a mold to dry. This makes them wrinkle-free and hard. I fold their back half in half in front before putting them in the drawers. I also use plastic canvas that is cut to the height of the hat and covers a little over half the front of the hat to keep them nice and vertical. (See https://www.amazon.com/4-Pack-Darice-Mesh-Plastic-Canvas/dp/B073WJYWTC/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1528491914&sr=8-3&keywords=plastic+craft+canvas) behind the Association. There's a new aerosol strength on the market that's advertised as "stain-resistant" and I've used a good dose on my hatbands too. If necessary, you can only wash the forehead "spot" and be afraid to machine wash the cap. (I bought pink)
