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 needed a replacement hat that will last. After wearing rabbit felt hats I always thought wool would be heavy but that hasn't been the case. I looked at all the more well know brands and the cost was between unreasonable and ridiculous. I am rough on my gear and this hat is as robust as it needs to be and super comfortable. The narrower brim has less flop than wider brim styles which works for me.

I wrote in a previous review that size 95cm or Large was a perfect fit. Of course the size was 59cms. I'm not in the circus!
But my assessment of the quality and fit remains positive. Early start today, very cold hat warm snd comfortable.

I've bought a number of hats and plenty give a size guide which is often wrong. Pleased to report the 95 cm large size was perfect. Quality is spot on too. I live in Southern NSW and it's very cold in Winter and very hot in Summer. I have plenty of Summer hats now I have a warm well made, well fitting Winter hat. I recommend this hat.
