Made a bag for my hat!

[bobkeenan]

I wanted to protect two rollables that I am bringing on a big vacation later this year. I found i could roll my hat and fit in a 3" mail tube but I had to roll it too tight. THe at would fit comfortably in a 4" tube but two 4" tubes would take up a lot of room in my suitcase. I saw on the Locke Hatters site that the sell a tube of that size but they also sell a canvas bag. So I made the latter. It will not prevent crushing but it will keep the hat clean and in the rolled stored shap if I pack it well. And it will take a minimum of space in my suitcase. We normally pack a portalble steamer so I can work out the kinks when we get there. Here are the picts with my Stetson rollalble Runabout.
