This felt hat brush with dark bristles is great for keeping your hat clean. Here is information from the book STETSON HATS: "Whether vintage or modern, dust your hat daily with a soft-bristled brush. Stiff bristled brushes will tear the felt. Western stores frequently sell hatter's brushes for this dusting job. Use a dark-coloured brush for dark hats and a light coloured brush for light hats." Furthermore, brush your hat in a counter-clockwise direction, against the lay of the nap, so that the felt is worked well and dust is best removed. Enjoy your hat!
