- the adjustable buckle 48 preferably includes the lower loop 49b attached to the bottom strap piece 46b.

- a number of adjustment holes 43 are provided in the long strap piece 42 to receive a nodule 49d on the piece 42 to adjust the looped length of the strap 40.
- Fig. 9A shows the lower loop 49b, which is attached to the bottom strap piece 46b and through which the long strap piece 42 loops.
- the folded-over end 44b of the looped strap piece 42 is shown in a face view and a cross-sectional view in Fig. 9B.
- the adjustment holes 43 in the strap piece’s looped end 44b can be slotted and can receive an oversized nodule 49b therein.
- the nodule 49b is mounted on the strap piece 42 and has a bulbous head.
- Such an arrangement is often referred to as a screw stud belt strap fastener, sam browne stud, button stud, or the like.
- These features of the buckle 48 are preferably used toward the bottom of the straps 40 so smooth sections of the straps 40 can be present on the wearer’s shoulders.
- buckle 48 can be used. As shown in Fig. 10, for example, another type of buckle 48 for strap pieces 46b can be a slip lock buckle that allows the length of the long strap pieces 42 to be adjusted by loosening and pulling. Alternatively, the buckle 48 for the strap pieces 46b can use a pair of gripping rings for this purpose.
- another type of buckle 48 can be a frame and a prong on the bottom strap piece 46b to engage the long strap piece 42 having adjustment holes (43) for the prong. Snap-fit buckles and others known in the art could be used.
- the inner surface of the long strap pieces 42 can be textured to prevent them from sliding while worn.
- the cover 20 and base 30 are formed of a rigid or a semi-rigid substrate material that keeps its shape.
- the substrate material can include boarding, leather, padded fabric, plastic, foam, acrylic, polyvinyl, or the like, and the substrate material can be covered with a durable outer material, such as leather, fabric, canvas, nylon, or the like.
- the straps 40 and handle 50 are preferably formed of a flexible and durable material, such as leather, rubber, or plastic.
- the cover 20 and the base 30 can be halves of a cylindrical shape so the case 10 can store and protect hats of various types.
- the cover 20 as shown in Fig. 7 can have the circular flat surface 22 with the outer sidewall 24 extending cylindrically from the surface’s rim.
- the base 30 as shown in Fig. 7 can be similarly formed having the circular flat surface 32 with the outer sidewall 34 extending cylindrically from the surface’s rim.
- the hinge 62 can include an internal pliable sheet affixed internally across the edges between the portions of the surrounding base and cover sidewalls 24, 34.
- the bottom ends of the outer sidewalls 22, 32 may each have a flat section 26, 36 where the cover 20 and the base 30 are hinged together by the hinge 62.
- These flat sections 26, 36 can facilitate the opening and closing of the hinge 62, while also allowing the case 10 to stand upright when placed on the ground or table.
- the case 10 as shown in Fig. 7 can include a number of features 28, 29, and 38 for holding hat(s) and other items in the case 10.

- Fig. 7 shows a number of leather cross straps 38 that run across the inside surface 32 of the base 30. Ends of these cross straps 38 can fit together with holes and nodules 39, snaps, buckles, or the like.
- the cross straps 38 can be used to hold hat(s) (not shown) or other item(s) against the surface 32 of the base 30.
- the cover 20 can include one or more pockets disposed on the cover surface 22 in the second portion of the compartment (12).
- the cover’s inner surface 22 can include a pouch compartment 28 that snaps closed and can include a pocket compartment 29 that has a folded opening that snaps closed.
- the case 10 can further include one or more secondary storage compartments 14 defined on at least one of the cover 20 and the base 30.
- the secondary storage compartment 14 can be a pocket on the outside of the base 30 or cover 20 to store items independent of the inner storage compartment (12) for the hat(s).
- a zippered pocket 14 can be placed on the outside of the base 30 and can be used for storing papers, money, or other flat articles, which will set against the back of the traveler when wearing the case 10.
- a zippered pocket 14 or the like could also be place on the outside of the cover 20.
- a zippered pocket 14, pouch, or the like can also be placed inside one or both of the cover 20 and the base 30 to hold additional flat articles inside the compartment 12.
- the case 10 can include at least one strap 40’ that crosses over the back of the case 10 and that has an adjustable buckle 48.
- the cross-over strap 40’ can pass over one of the shoulder’s of the traveler.
- the cross over strap 40’ can have the same features as discussed above.
- the places where the strap 40’ attaches to the case 10 may need to be more or less diagonally placed on the back of the base 30 so the case 10 can be worn comfortably.
- the cross-over strap 40’ will also allow the travelers to wear the case 10 hands-free on their back to carry hat(s) or other items.
- the internal compartment 12 between the cover 20 and the base 30 can include internal structures to support the hat(s) or item(s) therein.
- the internal structures can include foam inserts or the like that are either permanent or removably affixed inside the compartment 12.
- the foam inserts may fit with an interference fit inside the compartment or may affix with latch and hoop fasteners, hook and loop fasteners, or other fasteners.
- one of the internal structures 70a can include a dome structure 72 placed centrally in the base of the compartment 12. The headband of the hat can be placed on this dome 72 so the crown of the hat can be supported.
- the internal structures 70b can be configured in the particular shape of the hat to be stored in the case (10).
- a countered bottom support 72 and/or a countered top support 74 can be used to support the hat in the compartment (12) and can be countered to the shape of the hat.
- Additional support structures, such as internal draw bands (not shown), can be attached inside the compartment (12) for holding down the hat in the base (30).
