Two Hats. One Trip. Both Crown-Up.
The Schneiders® Western Double Hat Can carries two full-sized Western hats crown-up, on adjustable hat rests, behind lockable latches. Fits most traditional cowboy hats comfortably up to size 7 1/4 with 4" brims — measure yours before you order.
Show Up Knowing Your Hat Survived the Trip
Every serious Western rider knows that uneasy moment. A hat is not just another piece of clothing you can fold and tuck into an open corner. The crown has been shaped to suit you, the brim sits the way you like it, and the entire look depends on that structure holding through the trip. A soft bag may keep surface dust away, but it cannot stop other gear from pushing against the crown or bending the brim when space gets tight.
The real cost shows up when you arrive. Instead of checking your number, helping your horse settle, or getting ready for your class, you are trying to coax a crease back into place. Your backup hat may be riding loose because the carrier you own only accommodates one. Even when the damage is minor, it becomes another show-morning problem demanding your time and attention when your horse should be the focus.
Travel should not require choosing which hat receives proper protection and which one takes its chances. When two full-sized Western hats need to reach the same destination, improvised storage leaves too many opportunities for shifting gear, unwanted pressure, dust, and a misshapen brim. The problem is not bringing two hats. It is bringing them without a carrier designed around how Western hats must be stored.
One Rough Bag Check Can Ruin a Hat You Have Had for Years
Soft bags offer little structure when a suitcase slides across the cargo area or tack shifts during the drive. An original cardboard hat box may work on a closet shelf, but it was not necessarily made for repeated loading, damp trailer floors, crowded overhead space, or frequent trips between the barn and show grounds. Wrapping a hat in a jacket only hides the risk. Pressure can still reach the crown, and the brim can still be pushed out of the shape you worked to maintain.
A single-hat carrier creates a different problem when you need a show hat and an everyday hat on the same trip. One receives the dedicated space; the other ends up in a shopping bag, on a seat, or balanced above the rest of your gear. Then the routine repeats at the destination. You unload your horse, move tack, find the stall, and hope nobody sets something on the unprotected hat while the morning gets busy.
That is the frustrating trap: every familiar workaround solves only part of the job. A soft cover addresses dust but not compression. A shelf box is awkward for regular travel. A one-hat case leaves your second hat without equal protection. And simply asking everyone to be careful is not a storage system. Until both hats have structured, purpose-built space, arriving with two properly shaped hats remains one more variable you have to manage.
- ✗A soft bag that takes the shape of whatever gets stacked on it
- ✗A checked bag nobody knows has a shaped hat inside
- ✗A carrier built for one hat when you're bringing two
- ✗When you need both hats at the show, one ends up riding on the trailer floor.
Carry Two Hats the Right Way — Crown-Up, Locked, and Ready
It accommodates most traditional cowboy hats comfortably up to size 7 1/4 with 4-inch brims. Inside dimensions are 16 7/8 inches long by 15 inches wide; outside, 17 inches long by 15 1/8 inches wide. The bottom piece is 6 1/2 inches high, and the overall height is 13 1/2 inches. Hat shapes vary, so measure yours before ordering — larger hats may not fit appropriately.
The top piece comes off to carry separately, which gives you options once you reach the show grounds: keep the sections together on the drive, or split them when you only need one hat in hand. Schneiders lists the can as airline friendly, although travel requirements and available storage space should always be confirmed for your particular trip.
Add the stick-on brass name plate, sold separately, if you want to pick your can out quickly among the rest of the show gear. It's a straightforward answer for riders who travel with two Western hats and want storage built around their shape. Trusted since 1948, Schneiders focuses on practical gear for real barn and show-day routines.
Crown-Up Dual Storage
Carries two full-sized Western hats crown-up, the way a shaped hat is meant to be stored — up to size 7 1/4 with 4" brims.
Lockable and Airline-Friendly
Lockable latches close the can for transport, and Schneiders lists it as airline friendly — confirm your carrier's requirements before you fly.
Removable Top Section
Removable Top Section — the top piece lifts off and carries on its own, so you can bring one hat into the dressing room and leave the other in the truck.
Adjustable Hat Rests
Adjustable interior hat rests set to the hats you're carrying, so each one has its own place instead of leaning on the other.
