A Sunhat that bounces back to its original shape

I’m looking for a sunhat that bounces back to its original shape despite being squashed in a suitcase or in a drawer for months. I find the brim of the hat goes wonky.
I’m just taking about a smallish straw hat with a brim. Not a big showy brim style hat.

This one is the top end of the market, but you can get panamas which fold and go into a tube from other retailers at more modest prices.

Sorry to go off at tangent. I tend to get annoyed when posters do this, but trying to be helpful.

Must it be straw? From my experience straw does not like being squashed and tends to “bounce back” in a funny shape. Cotton hats with a brim pack well though if you would consider one.

Thank you both for replying.
My goodness that Lock hat is expensive but probably the Rolls Royce/Bentley of Panama hats 😀

I’ve got a Panama from Seafolly. I’ve had it for a few years and it gets packed and comes out looking really good. I wouldn’t hesitate to get another.

I’ve had a trilby from Scarf Giraffe for a few years that still looks like new despite being squashed ( neatly)! into various bags and suitcases.
