Who wants a hat that's designed to be folded? Where's the challenge in that.

Actually it looks okay, I'd like to see a higher crown. the first hat in the thread is an Optimo of mine. It holds it's own though it's just a great felt. Overall I think that travel version might be easier to roll up, though I think it will jst just as long as my standard.

By the by, I just had a few hats cleaned and blocked by Graham... I just love how perfect everything is when it come back from his shop.

I'm planning to have a Penman hat made, and John said that the felt would take folding, but the reed in the sweat band would become permanently kinked. How do you stop this happening to your hats when you fold them?

Um... leave out the reed?

You can remove them, too... I think.

I roll up two of my own hats from time to time without any problem at all - both are unreeded. I don't think you need to worry about being a long oval per se. If they're the right size they should fit just fine. Why do you think unreeded could be a problem for long ovals? Perhaps I'm missing something -

My Borsalino Rollable...

I bought this a few years back in Buenos Aires. I've never seen something like this before. The hat has a couple of snaps, one in the back, and one in the bow (see pics 1 & 2) that, once you roll it, keep everything snug. I love it. I've beaten the &#i&t! out of it and it always returns to its shape.
