Here are a couple of questions for hat wearers:
Does the cutoff rule for straw hats v. felt hats fall roughly at the
same time as the white shoe rule? If not, when should one change
over?

Is it appropriate for women remove their hats for the playing of the *Star
Spangled Banner* at sporting events? Does this include baseball hats?

Any good ideas for packing a straw/raffia hat for plane travel that doesn't
include smashing it or wearing it on the plane?
i would stuff inside the crown with soft clothing (socks? underwear?), invert, include smashing it or wearing it on the plane?

As for felt vs. straw...I don't know what Emily Post would say, but I
wouldn't wear a straw hat after the weather cools (late September around
here). If one lives/visits a warmer clime, say Florida, Hawaii, etc, the
straw hat season is probably year round.
I have several straw hats that travel well. High end – Kaminski, lower
end – La Scala. They've survived many a long plane trip in surprisingly
good shape.

I think this custom has its root in that women covered their heads (i.e., their says I don't have to. I cannot believe the men (who are old enough to

IMHO, however, the determining factor is the design of the hat and the
clothing that you will be wearing with the hat. For example, I would
not feel comfortable wearing an open–weave straw sunhat in NY in late
September; I would, however, feel comfortable wearing a closed–weave
dress hat so long as I was still wearing summer–weight clothing. Late
September to early October, and late April to early May, are my
*sheesh, what kind of hat DO I wear* times.
As to packing, you've had some good suggestions already. If you're
looking to purchase a hat for travel, however, I recommend that you
look into the crushable ones. Eric Javits, of course, makes the
Squishee line of hats. Even Betmar, however, at the low end makes
some lovely crushable hats. It makes it a lot easier not only to
pack, but to carry your hat along if you think you might be removing
it during the day.
