Get straight answers on how the OKC Comets Black Home 47 Clean-Up cap fits, how to adjust it, and how to clean and store it without wrecking the shape.
Quick answer
The OKC Comets Black Home 47 Clean-Up is an adjustable cap, so you set the fit yourself with the rear closure rather than choosing a fixed size. Clean it by hand with mild soap and cold water, then air-dry it over something round to hold the crown shape.
Why the adjustable closure changes how you buy
Because the 47 Clean-Up uses an adjustable closure, the cap is not sold in numbered sizes. That removes the guesswork of picking a size online, but it also means the fit depends on where you set the strap. Start near the middle of the adjustment range so you have room to tighten or loosen later.
A clean black home colorway is the practical choice here: it pairs with almost any game-day outfit and shows less everyday grime than lighter caps, which matters if you plan to wear it often.
Where hand-washing beats machine-washing
The catalog does not list a fabric composition or a washing recommendation, so treat machine washing as a risk you do not need to take. A structured or semi-structured crown can lose its shape in a machine, and heat from a dryer can shrink or distort the brim and closure. Hand washing with cool water and mild soap gives you control and protects the adjustable strap.
Spot-clean small marks first. Wash the whole cap only when the sweatband or crown is genuinely soiled, and never soak it for long periods.
Fit and care questions, answered
- How do I find my fit with the adjustable closure?
- Loosen the rear closure fully, put the cap on, and tighten until it feels snug but not tight. You should be able to fit a finger under the band at your forehead. If the crown sits too high or the brim presses your temples, readjust the strap before deciding the cap is the wrong shape. Set the strap near the middle of its range so you can fine-tune later.
- How should I clean a 47 Clean-Up cap?
- Mix a few drops of mild soap in cool water. Dip a soft cloth or soft brush, wring it out, and wipe the crown and brim in small circles. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to lift soap residue. Do not submerge the cap or scrub hard on any embroidered logo. Spot-clean first; wash the whole cap only when it is truly dirty.
- How do I dry the cap without losing its shape?
- Blot excess water with a towel, then set the cap over a round object such as a bowl or a balled-up towel that fills the crown. Let it air-dry at room temperature, away from direct sun and radiators. Never put it in a dryer. Air-drying over a round form keeps the crown from collapsing.
- Can I wash the adjustable strap?
- Yes, but keep it fastened or adjusted to a mid setting while you clean so the strap does not twist. Wipe it with the same mild soap solution and rinse cloth, then let it air-dry fully before wearing. Avoid soaking the metal or plastic closure hardware. Fasten the strap before cleaning to protect its shape.
- How should I store it between games?
- Store the cap on a shelf or hook where the crown is not crushed. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or a damp gym bag, since heat and moisture are the usual causes of odor and misshapen brims. If it gets wet, dry it as above before storing. Keep it out of hot cars and damp bags to protect the brim and fabric.
