zcat Posted January 9, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I have packable roll up straw hats that I take on the ship. My husband wants to take his straw hat, it isn't the roll up kind. I sure don't want to carry it and he will have his hands full with our other carry on stuff. This is one of those wide brim STIFF straw hats. True it looks wonderful on him but I would rather take one that can roll up - in straw if they make them for men. Soooo I am wondering if anyone has seen any lately. No cotton just dumb straw.

midwife56 Posted January 9, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I have not seen straw, but BC hats makes a great crushable mesh hat with a nice wide brim. I can get you a contact number if you need it. You can google BC hats and see the selection. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy ks Posted January 10, 2005 #6 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Pack the hat upside down and fill it with small items, such as socks, belts etc... If you pack it in between layers of clothes, the brim will be protected. I've packed hats this way before, they came unpacked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cali-croozer Posted January 10, 2005 #7 Share Posted January 10, 2005 That REI deal looks good. Also, you can check the Discovery Stores. They always have neat travel things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allis154 Posted January 12, 2005 #8 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I recently bought 2 Tilley hats from my DH and myself. Gauranteed for life, and 1/2 price replacement if lost or stolen. And they are really great hats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
