Versatile and comfortable style, hand-cut and made from premium European sheepskin (or shearling for those on the other side of the Atlantic). Garth boasts a practical and easy fit, with the perfect depth of the hatband - not too shallow, not too deep. It's designed with your comfort in mind, ensuring you can wear it with ease and confidence. No need to worry about the hat falling off or blowing away in the wind - we've got you covered. The skin is soft and warm without being too heavy or dense, making it ideal for everyday wear, walking the dog, or facing cold weather. The matching ties quickly secure the earflaps above your head or under the chin, adding to the hat's functionality and style. Our standard hat size is 58 cm, measured around the circumference of your head. Storage; please keep your OB sheepskin item in a clean dry dark place, preferably in a sealed dust bag, poly bag or garment cover. Overtime as sheepskin gets grubby, we would suggest the following: Buff the suede with a DRY scouring pad; the kind that you use for washing up, with the rough texture on one side and the foam on the other. We suggest you use the scouring pad to generally brush off any grubbiness and revitalise the ingrained flattened suede nap. When brushing, try to use longer more fluid strokes rather than concentrating on a small area. Make the area you are working on quite generous, then you won’t strip the colour from a single patch. Rain spotting and rain in general Always let the product dry naturally in an airy warm environment but away from direct heat. When dry, if there are rain spots on the suede, use the same scouring pad method above to brush the suede this will level the rain spots out and revitalise the suede nap. Rain downpour; If you get your OB sheepskin piece saturated, let it dry naturally in a warm airy place but still well away from direct heat. When it is dry, you may find the pelt has become rigid so you have to “break it open”. You do this by manipulating it, twisting it around, kneading it and basically opening up the fibres of the pelt to make the skin softer and more flexible again. Now take your trusty scouring pad (above) and start revitalising the nap. Brushing will bring back the velvety suede that has been flattened by the rain.
