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 have a brown and black crushable wool hat. Absolutely love them. Earlier this year I walked the Portuguese Camino trail and wore my brown one every day. It looked great, kept sun off my face and it didn’t get smelly from sweat etc.

I like the design as it’s comfortable and soft on the inside
Bit reluctant to crush it but it’s great to have the option
Must get a leather holder strap thing anyway
Thanks for the good design and service

Unfortunately I had to buy another hat as my sister wanted mine. She and her husband travel and showed her how versatile this little gem is.
Will be receiving my new one today but decided to buy the raffia style as well. You do pay a little more than at your local chemist or wherever but these are worth the quality lightness and style xx
