Is it just a myth that you can fold up Panama hats without creasing them up... or does it just apply to special ones that have been hand-rolled on the thighs of dusky maidens?
I had a panama hat that definitely didn't like being packed in a suitcase, so I had to wear it in the airport and stow it in the locker on the flight. Recently my brother donated another one to me... although it was an M&S hat, it was definitely stated to be "foldable".... with the result that I spent two weeks on hols looking like Elmer Fudd.
A cool-ish iron restores the rim to its former glory... but for me it's either wear on the plane or "hello, Elmer"
