Hat Renovators in the USA -- Hat Cleaning and Restoration : David Morgan

Renovation of Your Akubra Hat
With a little care, an Akubra hat should last years. If your Akubra meets with an accident, or suffers abuse, consider having it renovated.

A good quality fur felt hat can be cleaned and renovated successfully. In a full renovation the hat is disassembled -- the hat band, sweatband, lining and edge binding on the brim (if any) are removed. The felt is then dry cleaned and re-blocked to size and shape. The hat is then reassembled, using the old bands and lining, if they are in good condition after cleaning, or new bands and lining. In a partial renovation the hat may be spot cleaned and re-blocked to size and shape. Holes in the felt, as those caused by picking up the hat by the front pinch or edge of the crown, cannot be repaired.

Hat renovators, once common in most cities and towns, are now few in number. As a service to our customers, we have listed the US renovators we know who will renovate fur-felt hats. A few will also renovate Panamas. If you do not have a hatter locally, we suggest you contact one of these stores. Those stores which carry Akubras are noted in bold.
