A package for a combination of a hat and garment is disclosed, wherein the package supports a contour of the hat as it would appear when worn by a user, and additionally, the package is configured so that the hat and garment remain in their desired displayable positions and orientations substantially regardless of how the package is handled under normal retail sales handling conditions. In particular, the package of the present invention can be made of molded plastic that is reinforced by various walls and contours to inhibit denting and folding of the package and thereby prevents inappropriate deformation of the hat and garment therein. More particularly, the package is reinforced to prevent the folding or creasing of the brim of the hat, wherein such reinforcements also maintain the brim in a predetermined desirable position.
