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.

Appears to be a quality product. Happy with wider brim. The medium 57 as measured is a bit oversized but adjusting the interior band and using fillers gives a comfortable fit. Fitted a chinstrap from another company.

Seems to be a nice solid hat with a nice stiff brim..
I did have a sizing issue as I’m a 59 & originally ordered large to suit, however it was way too big.
Very easy return & exchange process for a medium which fits me perfectly..
I was also impressed with the way the hat came (both times) securely packed in a large box, so it wouldn’t get misshapen in transit. I’ve had other half decent hat brands send them crushed in a postal bag..
As I plan on this hat being my official “Bush hat” & it will be beaten around in all sorts of conditions, I gave it 3 separate coats of high quality silicon waterproofing & protection spray.. I’ve also changed out the thin leather band for a 6 braid kangaroo leather band, just as a matter of personal taste.
Haven’t tried it in the field yet, but it looks like it will hold up quite well… Also, great price (got mine on sale) as I was close to dropping $300+ on an Akubra.

This is the second hat I have purchased from Will and Bear. I got this gorgeous hat for our daughter’s birthday and she loves it. We had an issue with delivery and was delighted with their customer service and easy engagement. Would highly recommend this company for their quality product and excellent customer service.
