It will take a lot more than soap and water to destroy one of those bonnets!
That's comforting to hear.
Whenever it comes to wool garments of any kind, I keep thinking back to a day years ago when I was still in high school, when I'd stacked a few of my good wool sweaters aside to take to the cleaners. My brother, not realizing they were wool, threw them all in the laundry. Needless to say, every one of them shrank about 5 sizes, and I ended up giving them to some neighbor kids, since not a one of them fit me any more.
In the case of this hat, I wear a large hat size (7 3/4), and my fear of laundering the hat in any way was that it would shrink so badly I'd have to toss it. Fortunately, that didn't happen. The hat held up just fine, and it still fits perfectly.
