: : Reading about the whole "stiffness" thing in the Petersbros hats got me thinking... what happens when the hat gets crushed? Does that do a lot of damage? I just keep having flashbacks of my old hat being sat on by a lot of people.
Really, the crown's not that stiff, just the brim. After my Miller got rained on and lost it's initial stiffness, I got brave and wadded it up and it pretty much straightened right out again. the felt on the Peters Brothers hat is twice as thick as the Miller so I wouldn't let that concern you. Indy always puts his hat on a table, not a chair. Hmmmm...maybe someone could ghost write an Indiana Jones Do's and Don'ts for Adventurers Handbook.
Cheers!
