Our much loved, best selling Austin is back with an updated straw weave! From the desert to the sea, Austin Brown is hand braided from natural raffia straw. Designed to get you from dusty roads to salty seas and everywhere in between. The wide brim ensures sun protection and the chin strap will keep your hat on your head for every adventure.
We are a mission locked company meaning we have written into our company constitution to always give back a percentage of our profits. Over the last 5 years we have given almost 40% of our profits to our impact partners. This means your purchase:
All backed by our B-Corp certification - the highest verifiable standard of environmental and social impact
Hat Body: All Natural Raffia Straw
Sweatband: Soft Cotton Twill
Lanyard Accessory: Cotton & Leather
Raffia straw is grown on the island of Madagascar. It is a heavier straw known for its durability, excellent sun protection, and both natural & biodegradable.
We use natural fibres that fit within natural carbon cycles. We only use synthetic fibres where a natural alternative is unavailable so that it won't cost the earth later. We don't mix fibres so that we can separate components for reuse or recycling.

I agonised over spending this much on a hat for a long time, but finally bit the bullet when I couldn't find anything else that was really equivalent. I'm glad I did.
What they don't tell you is that this isn't just a nicer looking Billabong style surf hat. It's much higher quality, much more durable, it doesn't bend or get caught by the wind, and it is heavier but only just enough to stop it from falling off your head in a light breeze. It's comfortable and provides great shade, and it looks good.
I knew I'd made the right decision the first time I wore this outside.

Will & Bear is one of those unusual companies that radiates good vibes. On top of that they provide excellent quality and design. Now own 4 of their hats and all are great. As long as they keep doing new and cool styles I honestly see no reason to buy hats from anyone else, even if Australia is a bit of from Sweden. You can't get better for your money.
