I bought a cap from Albion recently, wore it for a couple of rides and then popped it in the washing machine, as suggested on the care instructions. This snapped/bent the brim which isn't ideal. I sent Albion an email to see if it was repairable under their lifetime guarantee thing and they replied pretty sharpish offering to send me a new one!
I'll probably hand wash it from now because that's the 2nd Albion cap that's broken in the same way, despite other brands standing up to a lot more abuse. It's a nicely made cap and really good customer service though.
Might just be really bad luck - I don’t own one but as far as I can tell the Albion caps are made by the same Italian factory as 95% of poly/cotton caps on the market
