Since this thread has been resurrectedMatt Deckard said:Don't roll a modern Borsalino or a modern Akubra as they will be wrinkled for life and it will ruin the brim... that even goes for the modern roll up Borsalinos... they end up droopy with creases.
I am going to need a hat that can survive air-travel soon. I was thinking about just taking my standard Fed IV and either rolling it or putting it in the over-head bin and reshaping as necessary. Now that I've read this thread I'm not so sure.
Has anyone had recent experience with crushing or rolling a Fed IV? Would I be better off getting a hat more suited for traveling? I've been following the other "Travelling Hat" threads, but I'm most curious about folding/packing methods for standard felt fedoras.
