Weather is the enemy of the hat and although we appreciate it is beyond control, please care for the hired hat in the rain as you would if it was your own. Keep it under an umbrella at all times when it is raining and be aware of certain fabrics and features of hats being more susceptible to weather damage in bad conditions. Fee McToal Design reserves the right to charge a fee amount if the item is returned marked or damaged in any way. This includes but is not limited to holes, dents, stains and rain marks. Credit or debit card details will be taken as a form of security and will only be deducted accordingly after discussion with the hirer and Fee McToal Design.
