How do I care for my hat?

Different hats and materials require different levels of care and maintenance. Please refer to our Hat Care page for detailed information about caring for your hat.

Will my hat shrink or stretch?

If your hat features a natural leather sweat band, there will always be some natural shrinkage over time. We usually allow for about half a size maximum, and recommend that if you are between sizes; that you choose the larger.

Are your hats all made in Australia?

Is my waterproof ?

If your hat is made from rabbit fur felt, it is fine to wear in the rain, just make sure it is allowed to dry naturally.

Kangaroo and cow leather hats are pre-treated with a water , but may need to be re-treated occasionally, depending on how often they are worn.
