How packable is this hat? Will it crease or lose it's shape in a suitcase?

My hat came out of the suitcase about the way I put it in. It is always wrinkled, but I never fail to get compliments on it. I roll it vertically, so that the only chance of wrinkles is on the crown.

Very easy to pack! Took it to Costa Rica and it looked brand new. I own several Tilleys and I highly recommend them to all interested in quality hats. Also had numerous compliments :)

The hat has a bit of a soft rumpled look anyway so I'd say packing it isn't going to be a problem if you can avoid folding the brim. :)

I don't have it with me. However, my memory says you can't pack it in a suitcase. It is a horrible umbrella, (I bought 2) don't waste your money. It blows inside out at the slightest wind (it has no vents). Also, I tried to weight the ends but the wires are not well-secured to the umbrella. Hope this has been helpful

The center unsnaps and it folds easy. You can also remove the arches completely and fold smaller. I believe it will fit in the suitcase.

I have not used it much...it is for guests. I have it over a down comforter and keep it in a large plastic bag. It doesn't even wrinkle. For the money, it is quite nice.

The short answer is yes. I've seen people fold it up into a sandwich sized ziplock bag, but I prefer to roll up since it takes a short time for it to return to its normal shape. There is a thin, probably plastic, wire running through the brim that can temporarily cause the hat to be misshapen if you scrunch it too tightly, but it's not a huge drawback.

You know - I don't remember how big it is - I had bought two of them, and the bigger one was returned - it was way to big, for me. BUT it says its only 100 or so cubic inches expanded - that's 5"x4"x5" in size - so you will have to fold your hat.

Brim- 2 1/4" on the side, 3 1/4" in front. I've packed the hat in a suitcase for a trip to Austria with no problem. CRUSHED into a backpack? Not sure about that.

If I remember correctly it came pretty large - I don't think you'll fit it into a suitcase. I would have it shipped directly where it needs to go.

I can't remember how it was shipped but when it's collapsed in its carrying case it is about an 18" circle about 3" thick. No problem getting it in a suitcase

When unrolled it flattens quickly, although if folded, the crease will take longer if every to flatten. My toddler walks on it without disrupting.

It can not be folded at all. With larger foot and spring I think laying it diagonal in a large enough suitcase might be awkward as well. See height measurements. However, I've traveled extensively w this and it fits fine in overhead bin

It's very light weight. Just be sure to wrap it in a tshirt or another clothing item to keep from bending it. Be sure it is completely cooled before packing it as well.

The shaper is made out of fairly weak plastic, so it would collapse in a suitcase, unless you stuff the cap with something sturdy enough that it would keep its shape.

I am not quite certain, but if I were you I would consider another gift. The Frozen Castle by Mattel is way overpriced and not a quality product; very cheap and a big disappointment. However, to answer your question, I do not think it would pack well in that small of a suitcase.

Most definitely!! I love these hats. They are washable, packable and practically indestructible.

I would call Tilley in Canada and explain your issue. I believe they can suggest a way to remove the deep crease. Otherwise, it's a outstanding out of doors hat!

It came in a small size package, after deflation, get small again but has to be very well deflated. The canopy is a simple structure which bends. Yes, you can pack for travel.
