How to Care for Your Rule Breaker Baseball Cap

Quick answer

Hand-wash your Rule Breaker baseball cap in cool water with a gentle detergent, reshape it while damp, and air-dry it over a curved form. Skip the washing machine and direct heat to protect the embroidered logo and the adjustable back.

Step-by-step cap care routine

1. 1. Brush off loose dirt: Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to remove dust and crumbs from the fabric and crevices. Do this outdoors or over a sink. Common mistake: scrubbing a dry stain, which can push dirt deeper into the cotton. Always start dry so you do not set stains before washing.
2. 2. Pre-treat stains gently: Dab a small amount of mild liquid detergent or a dedicated stain remover onto visible spots with your fingertip or a soft cloth. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes. Checkpoint: never rub the embroidered logo directly; work around it. Pre-treating lifts stains so you can wash more gently.
3. 3. Hand-wash in cool water: Fill a basin with cool water and a teaspoon of gentle detergent. Submerge the cap and gently squeeze the fabric for a minute or two. Use a soft cloth to wipe the brim and inside band. Common mistake: using hot water or bleach, which can fade the pink cotton and damage the embroidery. Cool water and mild soap protect color and stitching.
4. 4. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the cap under cool running water until no soap remains. Squeeze gently; do not wring or twist. Checkpoint: soap residue can leave stiff patches or attract dirt later. Rinse until the water runs clear.
5. 5. Reshape while damp: Blot excess water with a clean towel, then stuff the crown with white paper towels or a small towel to hold the shape. Smooth the brim with your fingers. Common mistake: using colored newspaper, which can transfer ink to damp cotton. Reshape before drying so the cap keeps its curve.
6. 6. Air-dry away from heat: Set the cap on a clean, dry surface in a well-ventilated room, away from direct sunlight and radiators. Let it dry completely, which may take several hours or overnight. Checkpoint: never put the cap in a tumble dryer or use a hair dryer on hot settings. Air-drying prevents shrinkage and logo damage.
7. 7. Store to hold its shape: Once dry, store the cap on a hook or shelf where the crown is not crushed. If stacking, place it on top or stuff the crown lightly with tissue. Common mistake: leaving it in a hot car or a damp gym bag, which can warp the brim and trap odors. Proper storage keeps the brim curved and the fabric fresh.
