Are crushable felt hats really crushable?
These hats have a remarkable memory for their original shape, allowing you to roll, scrunch, or flatten them for packing in a pack, suitcase, or coat pocket. Generally all that is required to return them to the proper shape is a few seconds of pushing and smoothing. However, the hats are not intended to be stored indefinitely in a flattened/rolled shape. As with even the most forgiving of materials, leaving one of these hats rolled or folded for very long periods of time (weeks or months, for example) will result in some unwanted dents, rumples, or changes in shape. The same can be said for allowing a wet hat to dry while in a rolled/flattened state. Even then, you may be able to revive the hat by wetting it or holding it over a steaming pot of water and massaging it back into shape. There are two preferred methods for packing the hat: Folding or Rolling.
