AMAZINGLY satisfying to watch you crush and fold and roll up a hat....but it blew my mind to see the hat Pop right back in to its shape😁

[@MariaAyub-ma-sentient24]

Most people don't know that fact about Panama hats (or some other hats) that are so pliable for traveling. They are elegant too! You don't have to wear a baseball cap all the time.

[@robertessaryjr.2834]

You say, “that’s it!” at the end of the video. I say, “thank you kind sir!” for your wonderful demonstration!

[@thewordnerds]

Excellent video, very clear and concise explanation. Thank you!

[@chilipeprsandi]

Thank you....I have a couple of hats that needed your help a year ago; now I'm all set for the future.

[@JohnnyMagic41]

Very good. Thank you for doing the other hats as well as the Panama.

[@puffeiffer]

The tube takes up too much luggage space. I just get it to half-point and nestle it between clothing items, preserving it’s natural folded curvature. They always arrive perfectly fine.

OMGosh you just gave me a heart attack. My great uncle whom has been deceased for 41 years now rose from his grave and is coming to give you a piece of his mind. Nothing personal. Our family is french Gabriel. None the less you really did put me in shock. I would also say you have very high quality merchandise. You also acomplished your goal. Are you a magician? Thank you James lee Chryst

It is actually quite useful to some of us. I have a foldable fedora and needed this.

Thanks!

[@georgiopatino8121]

I really liked this video. It showed me how to roll up my panama hat in where before I had lost hope in rolling it well. Thank you for this instruction.

Since when did Simon Gruber (Jeremy Irons - Die Hard 3) begin selling hats?

[@juliansinclair2122]

I agree, excellent video. Although my black hat band comes off.

[@haroon420]

How can you put a hat away for long term?

[@gluegod]

My Borsalino Di Carta brim got kind of loose. Would you know how to reshape it strong back again by any chance?

[@amalamucho]

Nice, tengo varios sombreros y siempre es un lío llevármelos de viaje

[@alankwellsmsmba]

Like folding a fitted sheet!

[@Myrslokstok]

Tought you could roll them, thanks now a know for traveling.

[@lucianolandi7307]

Thanks for the explanation, I think I am too afraid to ruin my Panama to try to roll it...

[@geoneobs5411]

Los sombreros son originarios de Montecristi Manabi Ecuador, no son de Panamá!

[@Gabriel20245]

Los hacen artesanos de varios paises, panama ecuador y colombia.

[@jonathanc2024]

@@Gabriel20245 Errado. Un buen conocedor de sombreros Panamá nunca te va a comprar un sombrero Panamá hecho en Panama o en Colombia, o en otro país que no sea Ecuador. Esa es una de las caracteristicas necesarias de los Panamá originales: hechos a mano en Ecuador. Además el más fino que se llama Montecristi tiene la denominación de origen, lo que quiere decir que solo el sombrero hecho a mano en Montecristi puede ser vendido en el mercado mundial como sombrero fino Montecristi. Panamá y Colombia tienen otro tipo de sombreros (pintado y aguadeño).

@@Gabriel20245 ja ja no lo creo compañero . son de aquí de mi pueblo.

[@Gabriel20245]

@@carlosleones5596 pues ahora mismo estoy viviendo en un pueblo donde hacen esos sombreros y los mandan a ecuador y los venden como panama hat, asi que creelo compañero, no solo en ecuador nace la paja toquilla y no solo en ecuador hay indígenas y no solo en ecuador hay indígenas que se dedican a la artesanía. hay que viajar más, para conocer la riqueza de las américas.

I'd recommend not rolling or folding a Panama hat coz the crown may split or it won't keep its shape I wear mine then hang it up.

[@susancnw59]

WHere can I get one of those amazing hat tubes?

[@heinzguderianbutmoreyounge9659]

They sell em on the stores too

[@Tappedline]

Thanks I needed to be reminded how to fold my hat..... thanks

[@gluegod]

Baby, ten cuidado, no todos son foldables.

[@jamestownsend6657]

Seems to work for a felt hat but as someone who's had a Panama hat folded like that I can tell you the crease never goes away...if your ok with that, fine..just saying.

[@poland_stronk3044]

Plata o plomo ?

🤠🤠🤠🤠.. Alguien me puede decir Donde puedo conseguir uno de esos sombreros. ??

[@christianquevedo9426]

En Ecuador los más finos son hechos en Ecuador pais de orígen

[@carlosleones5596]

cuantos quieres ? 😄. son hechos aquí donde vivo. los originales originales

[@gabyloor8322]

this hats are from Ecuadro , not panama

[@TheHexicle]

But it was popularised by workers on the Panama Canel in 1920s, thus coining its name.

[@nonathomas2109]

You are correct. The hat however is known as a Panama hat.

[@yakamarezlife]

I don't fold mine because if you do it to much you have to get it steamed

[@mariobruno784]

Well, that looks easy to fold, but how can I get £ 600.00. Being serious, once you wear such a quality you never forget it... and never replace it, unless you win a race.

Ich Und Nicht Du Jeez , how to look smart on tuppence!

[@armylover-2398]

,they know that these hats are made in Ecuador, and these gringos are still wearing their panama hats that they do not understand. They do not steal our culture, neither do Panamanians nor know how that hat is made, and where the straw is pulled. straw is unique in Ecuador, not country the harvest, how fortunate we are God blessed us with it, so ECUADOR HATS !!! for those who do not know the history of the weavers of Pile and Montecristi, Cuenca in ECUADOR

[@nonathomas2109]

Unfortunately, the hat is known as a Panama Hat. Many items are given the wrong name and credit to the wrong people I used GOOGLE translate. Translation may be wrong too! (Desafortunadamente, el sombrero es conocido como un sombrero de Panamá. A muchos artículos se les da el nombre y crédito incorrectos a las personas equivocadas que usé GOOGLE traducir. ¡La traducción puede estar equivocada también!)
