A beautifully made brimmed hat is designed to be worn, loved, and taken everywhere with you — not left behind for fear of damage in transit. Whether you're heading to a country show, a summer holiday, or a weekend away, travelling with your hat should feel simple.
With a few thoughtful tricks (and the right accessories), you can keep your hat looking just as perfect on arrival as it did when you set off.
If you can, wear your hat while travelling. This is the easiest way to avoid pressure on the brim or crown and ensures it stays in its natural shape.
Most airports and airlines are perfectly happy for hats to be worn through terminals, although you may be asked to remove it briefly during security checks.
But for moments when wearing it isn’t practical, there’s a smarter way to keep it close.
For travel days when your hat needs to come off — but you still want it with you.
Designed to attach easily to your bag like a keyring, it allows you to secure your hat safely by gently holding the brim using a concealed magnetic closure. It means your hat stays close, protected, and completely hands-free while you move through airports, train stations, or busy days on the go.
It’s particularly useful when:
- You’re navigating long travel days
- You don’t want to pack your hat in luggage
- You’re moving between indoor and outdoor events.
Think of it as a simple, elegant way to travel with your hat.
If you do choose to pack your hat, a little care goes a long way: 1) Fill the crown with soft items such as socks, scarves, or t-shirts. 2) Place the hat upside down in the centre of your suitcase 3) Surround the brim with soft clothing for support 4) Avoid placing heavy items on top 5) Use a hard-sided case where possible for extra protection.
Taking a few extra minutes here can make all the difference when you arrive.
If your hat loses it's shape
If your brim becomes slightly misshapen during travel, don’t worry — this is usually easy to correct. Gently reshape the hat by hand and allow it to rest naturally. Avoid forcing the brim back into place, and it will often recover its original form overnight.
Hat boxes for extra protection
For frequent travellers or special occasions, a hat box offers an extra layer of reassurance. It’s ideal for keeping structured hats protected during longer journeys or when you simply want added peace of mind.
