does the brim crease? always pack in bag. will wonder if it'll look bad or does it just bounce back and look seamless?

Mine does crease, but I was able to shape it. I don't have it with me right now it's packed in a box but I am pretty sure I fixed this by folding it front to back, not side to side. The front bill is the only formed part. but even so the crease I had was not awful. I would highly recommend this hat!

i roll the brim (looks like an ice cream cone) when i throw it into a bag. if it goes into a suitcase, i throw it in flat. the brim gets sort of wrinkly looking after a while but it's sort of the way linen or cotton pant get - just part of the the texture, not really distinct creases. we've worn it a coupe of years and machine washed it a few times, even.

The brim doesn't crease to my knowledge. It is flexible. Would pack just fine.

Yup, same as mine! Mine fills just below the brim which is manageable (for me). I guess you need to call the manufacturer.

It stayed flat on me and my field assistant who was twice my size. It's great, the belt part is woven cotton, not nylon, so it won't get permanently creased or bent due to strap adjustment or leaving it stuffed in a bag too long. Even with two full boxes of shells, it stayed tight and flat and in place. Hope this helps!

I did pack mine, but I did not fold it. I was afraid to. I packed it with the crown down, and little stuff around the crown to help keep its shape

Mine was like that after it was unfolded, but after 24 hours it evened itself out and had no wrinkles. I would let it sit flat for 24 hours and if it is still like that I would definitly return for a new one.

That puzzeled me as well. The picture here shows it facing the other way. When I received it I put it on the way it had to go, used it and then began to wonder why it was "backward". Took it apart but realized there is only one way it goes. My issue is that the balance seems off, bag tips over too easily if it shifts while I play. J

I wouldn't say that it bunches up. It can pinch a little bit in the back if it's really really tight though. There seems to be one seam that causes this. Main issue here is length. Since I found myself folding it to wear it, that was when I noticed it. It's not excruciating.

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

I really like this hat. Fits well and is super cute. I have never packed it so don't have an answer for that, but have another similar hat from SD Hat Co which claimed to be packable which I did just that...it has never retained it original shape.

Mine have always arrived in a bag as pictured above. If your bag wasn't sealed I would return it.

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.

I never had a problem with the bag rubbing. It's pretty narrow. I didn't even notice that it was there until I needed to get something out of it.

It is flexible but retains its shape. The brim is not all that wide. I saw several at Academy for sports& Outdoors at a good price and you can actually see them. If one is near you, have a look before you order....some have a net at the top so it is nice and cool and some just have eyelets which is not as cool.

Absolutely. Flat is best. I wouldn't fold the brim, but mine gets packed flat in a duffel bag on each fishing trip.

I've use it on one of my hats, didn'y have any problem with the brim. Be sure it is completely dry before taking it out of the frame.

It was folded in shipment, but not enough to crease it. I haven't seen where it affects the usability of the strap.
