Abstract
An improved case particularly adapted for the safe and efficient storage and transportation of hats and boots, and in particular western style or cawboy hats and boots, is comprised of a single case preferably having two separate storage compartments, each of which is accessed throguh a separate door. One such compartment is designed to securely hold a hat, particularly a western or cowboy style hat. To achieve this result, a circular insert is provided which receives the top part of the hat thereby holding the hat in a fixed position while a strap, extending horizontally across parallel vertical sides of the box assures that the hat will not be jostled or damaged during transport. The second compartment contains straps along both sides which are intended to be used for securing boots and particularly western or cowboy style boots. Cutouts in an inner plate supporting the two compartments which comprise the case help hold each boot securely in place. On the inside of the door of this second compartment are strips upon which can be attached and detached small storage pouches such as miniature saddle bags.
