Hat to fit in a locker?

[jml90]

Mmmmkay I'm looking for a grey hat preferably more dressy that I could put into my locker at school. I've looked at the Akubra Casual but, it has a dinky band. Are regular felts pliable enought to do this? Or should I get the casual?

How big is the locker? Is there a shelf inside that it can sit on, or will it be smashed? If the locker is long enough, you might think about getting a sticky hook that you can put on the inside wall of the locker and hang the hat vertically.

Well the locker is not big the brim would have to be bent for about 6 hours.

most high schools...

allow students to wear those atrocious baseball caps .....oversized and crooked at that. can't you wear it at least in between classes?

 

[Dinerman]

I wear mine between classes, take it off during most, with the exception of digital art and engineering.

this little number?

(barkeeps; as this is a fixed price "buy it now listing, I trust that I have not violated the posting regs?)
I have been looking at these for a while. I am a photographer and spend alot of time out of doors and when I do arrive at an assignment I need something I can just stick away in my bag and pull out again when it is time to go. They seem a little on the high end price-wise, considering they are only wool, but I may have to pull the trigger on one of these before too much longer...watta ya' think?

 

[Mr. Sable]

So the locker's not deep enough to fit a fedora any way you turn it?

Pretty good looking lids! I like a bigger brim, but to have a hat you can tuck away, this may be your ticket.
jml90, I say you have a lot of styles and types to choose from, the folks here will put you on to some great hats.
P.S. the BCF hats in DeanGlens thread may fit what you need. Check them out.

It seems the brim would be bent with anything over a 2" brim.

Or there is this offering from Orvis

Packable Felt Hat

 

[Feraud]

If the locker is too small you could get a nice newsboy style cap. This will easily fit in a locker.

This is a nice hat, at a great price. Small, easily packed, and stylish. I own one myself.

That picture gives a better representation of what it looks like in real life than the picture on the website. Good luck

Hi Shade, which color do you own? From the site it seems to be of a light brown, in your photo seems to be darker. I'm looking for a dark brown crushable fedora and this one looks fine...

I've got a gray one. The site gives a poor representation of shape, but a good representation of color. I can't speak for what the true color brown is, but I can tell you that the gray is sharp. I highly recommend this hat. It goes nicely with pretty much anything...dressy, casual, jeans, dress pants, etc.

Try a porkpie. Yeah, I know it's not a fedora, but I'm new here.

Well, I also need a gray one

I just have 2 black hats, a stetson's sardis the I use when in travel and a black fedora.
I like the hat you are suggesting very much, nice shape, rigth balance of crown heigh and brim size. It just look nice and it also has a reasonable price. I think I'll buy one. I just need to wait for my friends to come back in Italy, the shipping cost is 1.5 time the hat price

It's a nice hat and I only have one complaint...I got it wet once and it lost a bit of its stiffness. This is easily fixed of course...just a little quirk. But overall, a good hat.

My friend, I do the same thing everyday. I'm a high school freshman. At my
school we're not allowed to wear any hats, unless for religous perpouses. But I
bring my hat to school anyways, and sneak it in when I can. Keys to bringing a
hat to school.

1. Make sure you have enough room in your locker to store it. DO NOT BRING A
BOX.
2. Most lockers have hooks at the top, that's where I hang mine and it works
out well.
3. I advise not to bring it to lunch
4. Bring a thin felt hat, a hat you would use as a beater, but that still looks
good.

You're hat SHOULDN'T have any damage to it if you take care of it. Just enjoy
wearing you're hat.

Sites for buying. www.ahat.com , www.thefedorastore.com , bencrafthats.com ,
ebay.com ,and google.com , try typing in fedora or the type of hat you would
like. It will come up with some sites.

I found myself a NOS hat in a local shop in a crusable felt so I'm good.
