Oh! That just reminded me of a documentary I saw once. I don’t know if it was about the Stetson brand. But a hatmaker who makes $1000+ hats, or cubans, or was it bowlers… said he makes them in his home county. And when he travels out to go sell 'em, he said he will stack it all on his head just like this. “Because you don’t want to crush a expensive hat”, to quote.
I don’t know if appropriation of Texas culture is a thing.
But I do know that if a traveler puts their cowboy hat in the overhead luggage bin it’s gonna get smooshed.
