Can the Headcase Backpack hold all types of hats?

The Headcase Backpack is designed to fit hats with a standard height (up to 12cm) and a medium circumference (38cm x 32cm maximum area). However, it is not suitable for larger hats, like cowboy hats. The measurements refer to head circumference, not brim width. Hats with large or wide brims may not fit comfortably in the backpack.

How should I safely store my hat in the Headcase Backpack?

To store your hats, place them crown-down in the front compartment. Use the adjustable compression straps to secure them snugly, and clip them in for added stability. For extra protection, pack your hats inside the premium dust bag provided. Read our Hat Packing Guide.

What is the maximum size of hats that will fit?

The Headcase Backpack accommodates hats with a head circumference of up to 38cm x 32cm and a height of up to 12cm. For example, the hat compartment can house the larger brimmed hat our model is wearing because it has a head circumference of 38cm x 32cm and a height of 12cm (4.7 in).

Is the Headcase Backpack suitable for cowboy hats or similar styles?

Hold up, Cowboy - not yet! Due to their larger size and height, standard cowboy hats (54-62 cm head circumference) are not compatible with the Headcase Backpack. While its design combines both function and style, the compartment is tailored to fit medium-sized or more compact hats for optimal protection. Related: Ultimate Guide to Custom Hats in Australia.
