What You'll Need:
| Your Hat |
| Carry-on Case |

First up, let’s choose the right case. It’s important that your luggage is wide enough to fit the hats brim and deep enough to accommodate its crown. In this case this hat fits in my carry on.
Start by packing larger items like sweaters or trousers around the outside of the case. Leave enough room in the middle for the crown of your hat.
Insert your hat crown in between the clothes.
Remember, this method isn’t suitable for our stiff flat brim styles—for those consider using a Carry Clips on the outside of your bag instead.
Next, take smaller items like t-shirts or underwear and gently pack them inside the crown of the hat. This helps maintain the hat's crown shape.
Once you arrive at your destination, promptly remove your hat from the suitcase and rest it on a flat surface to let it regain its proper form. If you find your hat out of shape just apply a little steam.
And there you have it—your hat is safe and sound after your long journey.
