About MeThis wide brimmed white cotton hat has an ingenious design and can be folded up to fit in to a small cotton pouch.

The pouch fastens with a metal zip and has two belt loops and a wrist strap making it easy to carry around.

The instructions warn not to take the hat out of the pouch while travelling on an aeroplane because it springs open.
