Women's Packable Fedora with Chin Strap

Squishee® VIP is a women's packable fedora with chin strap designed for effortless sun protection, reliable travel performance, and timeless warm-weather style. Made from patented Squishee® straw, it combines simple elegance with the kind of durability and flexibility that make it easy to wear every day.

The traditional indented crown and softly sloping fringed brim create a classic fedora silhouette with a feminine finish. A self-bolo rope chin strap with an adjustable leather slide helps secure the hat on windy days, adding practical function without taking away from its clean, refined look. The 4-inch brim provides flattering coverage while keeping the overall shape balanced and versatile.

Squishee® VIP is made for travel as much as daily wear. The patented Squishee® straw can be rolled or folded into a tote bag without losing its shape, making it an easy companion for weekends away, resort packing, or everyday summer use. The material is also lightweight and breathable, so the hat feels comfortable even in higher temperatures.

This style also delivers advanced sun protection. Squishee® VIP blocks up to 98% of UVA and UVB rays and has been awarded the highest UPF 50+ rating. The elasticized inner band fits most for easy comfort, and a signature logo rivet at the back of the crown adds a subtle finishing detail. The result is a hat that stays simple, chic, and dependable season after season.
