I’m on a work trip to Fort Worth and would like to get a custom shaped felt hat. I’m a little concerned about getting home with it on a plane. Do any of you fly with hats and how? Put it on your lap? Hat tin? Thanks.

Wear it?

But you might want one of those hard plastic hat box/cases if you get a nicer hat anyway. Even the cardboard hat box it comes with will fit in the overhead.

Ship it home, things are too cramped and crowded nowadays on flights with everyone trying to cram everything in as carry on now.

I flew to Oregon and back with an Outback style hat. Different in size, maybe, from your hat. No issues.

Check out Peter Brothers Hats downtown. Store has been around more than 100 years.




I have a few SIGs.

Those would be my 2 thoughts as well. Wear/hold it, or in the box in the overhead.

If you’re in Fort Worth, I highly recommend Jobe’s Hat Shop. If Conor Cooley is there and can shape it, that would be my strongest recommendation. Conor was the in-house hat shaper for American Hat Company for ten years. To call him a pro, is a huge understatement.


I fly with my hat every time I travel. All my hats are 4.25 brims and 5” crowns ( or larger), so they’re not small.
I wear it until seated. It then sits in my lap crown down and resting on the brim.

If I have a window seat I can stick the brim between the seat and wall and the crown rests sideways on the armrest against the wall.

This works for me, but I’m not a big guy, I’m 5’10” and 165 lbs. if I was bigger, I could see this being quite uncomfortable.

I wear mine. The permanent hat boxes are too small to fit mine.

The cardboard ones do work for shipping one, which doesn’t have sentimental value, yet.

Good to know, thanks! Jobes is my destination!

Not easy. I won’t wear it on the plane because I feel it’s intrusive on the passenger seated behind me. Most of the time, on its crown under the seat in front of me.

I have some very cool panama hats. I wear them onto the plane, then store under the seat like TMats. If the flight is not crowded, I'll put it in the overhead. A hatbox is a great investment.
