‘Are your hats ‘packable?‘ … a frequent question from my customers – and the answer is YES.
I construct all my hats with a sturdy, topstitched brim – it can be folded and bent into many configurations for packing. This built-in resiliency helps it quickly pop back into shape after being stored in a tote bag or backpack, whether you’re on the road, in the air, or on the water!
Additionally, all Rosehip SUN HATS and BEACH HATS have a bendable nylon boning stitched into the wide brim edge. This washable, super-strong material helps to retain the brim’s shape and angles you prefer while wearing. It is easily bent, rolled and/or folded when your hat is tucked away for travel. Unpack it and the brim snaps right back into place.
While all Rosehip styles can travel with you, the hat pictured here is an ideal companion, hence the name: TRAVELLER. This versatile, classic style can take you many places – from the boat to the beach, from touring to the trail. The 10cm (4”) bias-edged brim can be worn turned up at a variety of face-flattering angles, or worn down when more sun protection is required. Roll it up and go!
TRAVELLER colour selections include a range of neutrals (natural linen, creamy white, black) as well as popular seasonal colours – great for mixing or coordinating with your travel wardrobe. Easy-care fibre choices include 100% linen, upcycled 100% cotton, hemp, and a hemp/organic cotton blend. Hemp has the highest UV protection of all the natural fibres, is strong, durable, anti-mildew, hypo-allergenic, with maximum breathability and wicking properties. For more on HEMP and other ‘green’ fibre choices, please see Earth-loving Textiles.
The sizing drawstring inside all Rosehip hats further ensures your outdoor comfort – just loosen the drawstring when you need some air, or tighten it up on a windy day.
Happy Trails to you! … Shari
