All backed by our B-Corp certification - the highest verifiable standard of environmental and social impact
Hat Body: 17-24 Micron Pure Australian Wool
Sweatband: Soft Cotton Twill
Accessory: All Natural Leather
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.
Shipping Delay: Due to stocktake, orders placed 14th-20th July will ship on or after 21st July.

This hat fits like a glove, looks incredible and is super versatile. Highly recommend for those looking to have an awesome hat for any occasion. It’s also really great value for money.

While I am no hat aficionado, I have a steadily growing collection of headwear from years of different needs. In that time, I have avoided hats like these because they never fit right or looked good and they were not easy to travel with. That all changed when I purchased this hat (admittedly on a whim). It is comfortable, breathes better than I expected and looks good. While I have not had a chance to travel with this hat yet, I have tested it's crush ability and have been impressed. I have been so impressed that I have been looking at Will & Bear for straw beach hats in a similar style. As a request for the team there, please make a version of the William that is crushable or at least easily packable straw, I would purchase it immediately.

This is the most practical and comfortable hat I have owned. It seems lighter than rabbit-felt hats. I have other hats, but this has become my go-to.

Recently received my new black hat from Will+Bear. While it's still early days the fit is excellent (with 2 hat fillers) and the quality looks great. Very keen to be wearing it many years to come. Thank you W+B!
