Label TextHatboxes from stores are usually made from cardboard, but more bespoke and robust boxes made of metal and leather were developed for travelling. The boxes protect hats from dust and damage, both physical and environmental. This travelling hatbox is made from leather and has a brass lock on the front for ensuring the security of the contents while in transit.
