Will A Dryer Ruin A Hat?
It depends on the material and construction of the hat. Some hats, particularly those made of delicate materials like wool or silk, can shrink or become misshapen when exposed to high heat in the dryer. It is always best to check the care instructions on the hat or consult a professional cleaner before attempting to machine dry. To be safe, it’s best to air dry hats to maintain their shape and integrity.
