Love it, great quality, travel friendly - great customer service
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.

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:)

I needed a good stylish hat to shield me from the hot Florida sun along with my travels abroad. I searched the entire internet for a hat that protects from the sun, does not make me look like a “Rhinestone Cowboy”, and has that youthful unique and stylish vibe that sets me apart from the crowd. This Dusty Brown Hat was my answer. This is a unique hat that you and others will love. What’s nice is that it’s a one of a kind hat that no one else duplicates. Beats anything in the USA that I could find. I used a measuring tape for fit and it was true to size. Thanks “Aussies” for making and designing such a great hat!

A great hat for my husband. He mostly wears it to golf. The large brim is excellent for keeping the sun out. It was too big, even though I measured his head accurately so we had to use the sponge fillers bought locally in NZ as Will & Bear were out of stock. We also added a neck strap as it is windy where we live. This had to come from another company as Will & Bear don't stock them. He loves the hat. Nice colour too.

Delivery prompt and well tracked. Good wide brim for cover from sun and seems well made. Slightly disappointed with adjustment cord for sizing. More difficult to use than velcro adjusters I have had with other hats; and velcro fits more snugly under hat band as well.
