Your Outback hat’s journey begins as a humble piece of high-quality, genuine leather. The first step in the process is to carefully clean and treat the leather by hand to ensure that it remains flexible yet durable. For our colored leather, we use highly-pigmented, long-lasting dyes.
But regardless of the hue, all our natural leather hats are shaped, dyed, and distressed by hand, providing you with a one-of-a-kind headpiece. To ensure your hat's long-lasting seams and structure, we put it through a professional grade hydraulic press. We simply aren’t satisfied until your women’s or men’s Outback hat has the perfect silhouette.
The final step for any of our Australian Outback hats, is adding the details. Many outback hat styles are based in the details. This might be the hand-tooling, brim trim, leather hat band, feather, or other detail that gives your hat it’s unique character. With its vibrant color, soft feel, and finishing touches, an item from this collection is sure to create a style statement and last a lifetime.
We believe the little things make all the difference. Our detailing transforms our most function-forward hats into fashionably stunning pieces.

However the brim crease is often more relaxed, tipping down slightly in the front. But, just like our men's cowboy hats and women's cowboy hats, our Outback cowboy hats are designed to keep the elements off your face and out of your eyes, because that’s what an Australian cowboy hat is all about.


The Australian Bush Hat for Any Weather Situation
When it isn’t protecting you from the sun, rain, wind, and dust, it’s important for you to protect your Australian hat. You have a few options for storage. You can rest your hat on a hat cone, hang it on the wall, or store it upside down in a hat box. No matter what you decide, it’s crucial to store it completely dry and keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent shrinkage or fading.
Of course, we understand that sometimes adventures can take a toll on your hat. Whether it was bitten by a wild croc or simply needs some sprucing up after years of adventures, we’ve got your Australian bush hat covered. Our refurbishment program ensures that even the most well-loved hats can be repaired and sent back to you like new.

Iconic fedoras and trilbies can be found in men's leather hats, too. Leather enhances the Wild West feel of a men’s fedora, making it look almost like an Australian outback hat or men’s cowboy hat. A leather trilby adds a stable punch to an already sturdy silhouette.
