After Jim Craig (I think, could have been another ASA clinician) showed me how to fold up hats, I don't bother with the plastic thingies anymore. It works very well except for the New Era hats tend to have those plastic threads break loose and poke me in the head! I have no protection on top!
I just toss my hats in with the wash, then fold up and let dry. They come out looking fine.
I think ASA properties sells the "Cap Caddies" in their catalog.

Now you have piqued my curiosity. Can you demonstrate this technique verbally on this forum, or is it something that one has to see???

Sure, Watch closely as I try to 'splain it.
Push the bill up and flatten it against the part where the logo usually is. Pinch the hat to the bill and it will form a crease. Next, while holding the bill and front together, fold the back half of the hat up and over the button into a tri-folded shape. The back of the hat will be exposed, you don't turn it inside out.
It may not sound as simple as it is, but try it on an old hat and you should figure it out. When folded hats take up very little room in your bag, I think I have about 7 or so in mine. You can also put the folded hats in your pocket if you want. They really look good after unfolding, but will have that crease in front which you may or may not like.
I would post a picture of the process, but haven't a clue as how to do it. Have the camera, compooter and such, but lack in the know-how area. Maybe some of the more technologically advanced guys could post a picture.
