To paraphrase a comment in the hat rolling thread, "Sure, you can crush it... once!" Actually, if it was crushed, you could just have it reblocked, but, no, crushing the Fed is not advisable. That said, I'd recommend really thinking about the reasons that the hat must be rolled. Is that absolutely essential to you? Could you perhaps wear the hat instead of packing it? If not, then look at a Traveller. Or try one of the wool crushables, but don't say I didn't warn ya!
Yohanes said:About Matt Deckard's example, I'm afraid it would be very hard to find the hat he meant. Getting a vintage at 7 3/8 at ebay is very difficult already...
Tell me about it! I too have a 7 3/8 noggin, and I've been scanning ebay for months without finding anything near as nice as Matt's hats. At least not for less than it would cost to have Art make me one!
