Built for life on the road, this packable outback hat combines classic country styling with modern travel-ready performance. Crafted from soft, breathable 17–24 micron Australian wool felt, it’s lightweight, crushable, and designed to be packed flat in your bag without losing its shape.
Inspired by classic outback and western silhouettes, this soft, packable outback hat features a cattleman-style down turned brim with a relaxed crown structure — a modern alternative to a traditional cowboy hat for travel and everyday wear. The wide, under-welted brim offers excellent UPF 50+ sun protection, making it ideal for long days outdoors. A robust brim edge helps the hat bounce back after packing, while the size-adjustable sweatband ensures a secure, comfortable fit across changing conditions.

Hat Body: 17-24 Micron Pure Australian Wool
Sweatband: Soft Cotton Twill
Accessory: 17-24 Micron Pure Australian Wool with Brass Clasp
Our wool is sourced from small-lot farms in Australia. We source short, low-quality fibres the fashion industry doesn't use and turn them into high-quality felt products designed to last the extra mile.
Wool is natural, biodegradable, recyclable, renewable, and odour-resistant. It naturally regulates temperature, meaning it's warm in winter and cool in summer.
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.
During our June warehouse sale, we will offer credit notes for change of mind purchases (and limited exchanges for Australian customers). International customers are responsible for the cost of their shipping label. Items marked final sale are not available for return unless they are deemed to have a major fault.

Nice hat. Good wide brim. I got a medium, I run 57 to 58cm. I was alittle surprised at the size, runs large. it has an elastic and Velcro adjustment under the band to make it tighter/smaller. Fully out the hat was to big. I'd say it was about 59cm or a large size. I could adjust it to fit with the elastic and Velcro adjustment. But I decided to order some inserts. 4 inserts, one front one back and one each side. Fits perfectly now, with no elastic adjustment used.
It's not a big deal, I guess it does allow for fine tuning the fitment. Happy with my purchase.

Beautiful hat, I love the extra wide brim. Perfect for my safari holiday - thank you! PS I bought hubby the darker coloured one as well - it fits my extra small head, and also his extra large - love that it's adjustable and fits both of us. When wearing them together, nobody can tell it's the same hat!

Love it, great quality, travel friendly - great customer service
Quality, style and cool. I have had so many positive comments:) Love this hat. I mistakenly bought the dusty brown, when I wanted the dark chocolate colour but I'm still pretty happy:)
