Thanks very much, Matt! I'm going to get some of that Scout hat cleaner ASAP.
Phil said:On the earlier topic of keeping bugs and such out of hats at night, I have an uncle that is quite the hat enthusiast. He travels all over the world and in the rougher countries he actually made himself a zippering hat box. From what I understand all he did was staple a zipper onto one of his sturdier hat boxes and I'd assume that's worked for him so far. I haven't heard any bug-in-hat complaints.

Thank you so much for offering this information on hat care. However I have another question concerning storing hats. I keep mine in hat boxes, should I put them in upside down (on the crown) or upright? This may have been address earlier but I did not see it, please advise.
