Does it matter if the brim gets folded?Mine was shipped folded which left deep creases in the brim.

It doesn't matter at all. The whole hat will "come back to life" once it's on and pulled into position. My hat sits on a shelf when I am not wearing it, looking more like a green hubcap than a hat, but looks great in a flash. I feel sure you will love you Tilley, they are great.

same with mine....I soaked it in water then set it flat on a table...it straightened it out...

I don't believe it will be a oroblem, but both Tilley and Amazon are both such fine companies that I'm sure they will stand behind the product if your issue doesn't resolve itself in a short time. Tilley makes a great hat!

It's fine. I roll mine up and it always sorts itself out. It's the best hat ever

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!

Soak thoroughly in hot water. Shape as you like. Let dry, preferably in sun.

Can the hat be folded/collapsed, e.g., to pack in a suitcase, without destroying it's shape and appearance?

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

Mine was bent slightly there too. I thought it happened in shipping? I kept it though, it's not that bad.

I think it's useful in the wind. It keeps the the brim from getting pushed up as easily. Some people snap up the side to make a fashion statement. Unless it's arelly stiff wind I dont fold the side brims up.

Hmm, mine popped out fine but I have trouble getting one to fold back on now. Mines packed so I can't look at it now. I'm sorry.

I would check with company that if you wash it and it doesn't remove the crease, you can return it to them.

Mine came folded and its still has folds in it I have tried everything to get them out steaming it laying it out in the sun and they are still there.

The feel is good, my package came with a crease that ruined two of the 3 pieces though. I haven't heard a response from them on replacement.......

No, that's why I returned it. There for hats that the brim is bent. We don't bend are caps so I had to return

folded, but I did NOT experience the issue of "seeing daylight" that the previous answer gave. I didn't have any issues with mine.

If you order it in a roll or leave it for long enough. It comes folded so the creases are stuck in pretty good until you stretch it over a frame. If you hang it up with just a top and bottom it will straighten out, but will probably take a little time.

I think that it came folded but I honestly don't recall. That said, it almost immediately laid flat for me and I had no problems what-so-ever. I just packed it back in the box to get it out of the way during the Christmas holiday season and had now problems putting it back in it's original box. I folded it to put it back in the box. Again, I'm happy with this product.

The manufacture has packaged this into packaging where it is folded for shipping. I have never had anyone ask about creases nor have I had anyone say there was, so honestly I can't answer that. I have had individuals say they make a great backdrop.

Yes it does. The wire is so springy that I find it hard to fold it all the way up. The crown is soft, so the hat doesn't take up much space even when the wire is unfolded. Hope that helps.

when you stand it up, the "bottom" is partly the hard plastic shell and partly a canvass, zippered small compartment. it really depends on the weight distribution, but having something in the small compartment seems to work... (a sweatshirt, pair of shoes, etc.). i don't use it often, but when i do, it's packed to the brim and stands up just fine.just read k. miller's reply and i think we agree it's all about weight distribution. but as i mention, put something in that small compartment and it props it up.

No I did not receive the case with creases. I think the case is great. Return the case and order it again from the same vendor. Sometimes they will have a defective one in the batch.
