This style is both foldable and packable and will rebound its shape easily, making it an ideal companion for travel and everyday adventures. For best results, avoid placing excessively heavy items directly on top.

Examples: McGraw, soft wool styles, knit hats, highly flexible packables.

This style is packable and travel-friendly but is best packed flat. To help preserve the crown, place rolled socks, tank tops, or other soft clothing inside the hat before packing. Avoid folding the crown or placing heavy items on top. Gently reshape by hand upon arrival.

Examples: Ipanema, softer raffia and straw styles.

This style travels well with a little extra care. Pack near the top of your suitcase and support the crown with soft clothing to help maintain its shape. Avoid compression, sharp folds, and excessive pressure during travel.

Examples: Most natural-fiber ranchers, straw hats, and medium-structured styles.

This structured style is best worn during travel or packed separately. If packing, support the crown with soft clothing and place the hat flat near the top of your luggage. We do not recommend folding or compressing the crown or brim.

Examples: Vega, structured wool felt hats, stiff-brim ranchers.

This style is designed to maintain its shape and is not intended to be folded, rolled, or compressed. For best results, wear it while traveling or carry it separately.

Examples: Specialty structured hats, hats with delicate trims or highly rigid construction.
