Meet the Explorer, our nod to the untamed charm of the Aussie outback. Made with top-notch wool felt, it's built to last and keep you comfy. With an adjustable sweatband and crown eyelets for breathability, topped off with our classic leather band, it's the perfect mate for all your adventures.
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: 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.

I love it. I know in my heart it's my new lucky fishing hat . I have had numerous remarks indeed compliments regarding this great lid.
With summer approaching and the need for sun protection not to mention errant fly fishing casts the broad brim is the duck's guts.
More than happy with my purchase. Now if I could just get my cat Mojo out the box.......

Hi Kylee,
I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment. We try to make our returns and shipping information readily available - our returns policy is available on every product page right below the images, on every page of the website at the bottom and in our FAQ's, and additionally there is a link at checkout. We offer exchanges and credit notes which are valid for three years.
Like the hat but very disappointed that it is NOT made in Australia, it is made in PRC ~ CHINA.
All the advertising says Australian made hats.

Hey David,
We are proud of the relationships we have with our manufacturing team in China, and they were chosen for their skill sets.
We use Australian wool, and have recently been advertising our Australian Made 'Teddy Chestnut' hat, which may be where your confusion has come from. Additionally, our hats are prototyped in Will & Bear (Loz and Alex's) studio in Victoria. You can read more about our different suppliers and process here: https://willandbear.com/pages/our-process
