JET-SET IN STYLE: HOW TO TRAVEL WITH YOUR KOSSTOM HATS
Whether you’re headed to a sun-drenched coast or a crisp mountain retreat, your Kosstom straw and wool hats deserve to arrive just as polished as you do. These are not just accessories — they are investments in personal style, craftsmanship, and confidence. And with a few thoughtful steps, you can travel luxuriously without leaving your favourite hat behind.
Here’s how to protect your crown jewels while you’re on the move:
1. Wear It On the Plane
Let your Kosstom hat lead the way. Whether it’s a breezy straw boater or a structured wool fedora, wearing your hat in transit is the most stylish (and safest) option. Pair it with sunglasses and a silk scarf for a chic airport look worthy of first class — even if you’re not flying it.
2. Pack It Like a Pro
If wearing it isn't ideal, carefully pack your hat using the crown-down method:
-
Place the hat in your suitcase upside down, so the crown is nestled inside.
-
Fill the crown with rolled-up soft items (scarves, socks, or silk tops) to support its shape.
-
Surround the brim with clothing to cushion it from pressure.
-
Avoid overpacking — luxury demands breathing room.
Note: This method works best in hard-sided luggage for added protection.
3. Use a Hat Box for Longer Journeys
For those investing in longevity and elegance, a dedicated travel hat box is the ultimate travel companion. Lined interiors and structured sides keep your Kosstom hat impeccably safe from dents, moisture, and unpredictable travel days. Bonus: it makes a statement in the lobby.
4. Steam & Shape Upon Arrival
Even the finest hats can get a little weary in transit. Upon arrival:
-
Gently steam the hat using a handheld steamer or place it in the bathroom while you shower.
-
Reshape the brim with your hands and let it air-dry flat.
-
For straw hats, avoid excessive moisture — a light mist is enough.
Your hat will thank you by keeping its crisp silhouette and rich texture intact.
5. Store with Care
When not in use during your travels, rest your hat on a flat surface or over a rounded object to maintain its shape. Avoid tossing it on hooks or stuffing it into drawers. Luxury thrives in intention — even while you rest.
Final Thought:
A Kosstom hat isn’t just packed — it’s carried with presence. Treat it with the same care you give to your passport, your watch, or your words. After all, true style doesn’t stop at the terminal gate — it travels with you.
