Rbaine: The Master Class in Headwear Maintenance
Your Rbaine cap is a precision-crafted accessory designed for longevity. To maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic excellence of your piece, we recommend the following professional care protocols.
I. Advanced Washing Protocols
The Golden Rule: Never Machine Wash. Mechanical agitation can permanently distort the buckram and damage delicate fibers.
- Water Temperature: Always use cool to lukewarm water (Maximum 30°C / 86°F)
- Chemical Safety: Use mild, pH-neutral detergents. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners
- Spot Cleaning: Use a soft white cloth dipped in diluted mild soap. Gently dab—never scrub
II. Controlled Drying: Preserving Form & Color
- Moisture Extraction: Do not wring or twist. Place between two clean towels and press firmly
- Form Retention: While damp, reshape by hand. Place over a hat form or clean bowl
- Environmental Control: Air-dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight and artificial heat
III. Professional Grooming & Storage
- Suede & Fabric Brushing: Use a soft-bristled garment brush daily to remove dust. For suede, brush in a single direction
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry environment. If stacking, ensure heavier caps are at the bottom
