• Ribbon Crusher Medium Brim Hat

  

  I’ve gone through about a dozen of those “crushable” straw hats that are supposed to survive your suitcase, and this little number finally did the trick. It pulls low around your eyes for a sweet retro effect, but it’s still casual enough that I don’t feel like Scarlett O’Hara at the flea market. It’s made of some kind of sturdy ribbon, so I can smash it in my suitcase, shove it in my tote, tuck it in my backpack, all with no evil results.
