The Australian outback hat is a different animal to the American western cowboy hat. Where the American Cattleman is about width and presence, the Australian leather hat is about durability. It is the hat worn by people who spend actual time outdoors in actual challenging conditions, and the construction reflects that priority.
This dark brown version is crafted from premium leather with a traditional pinched crown and a wide protective brim that provides UPF-rated sun coverage. The leather construction is waterproof, which in the Australian tradition means full outdoor functionality rather than just surface resistance. Sized 55 to 60cm with a fit that stays secure through movement and wind.
Available in black and dark brown. The leather develops a distinctive patina with age and outdoor exposure that makes each hat increasingly individual over time. This is a hat for people who wear hats rather than people who display them.
