Purchasing a crocodile product. Do I need to purchase an export permit?

Crocodile is a protected species within Australia, therefore Crocodile products posted to destinations outside Australia should be accompanied by a special ‘Cites export permit’. The’ Cites export permit’ costs $15.00 AUD and one permit will cover multiple crocodile items, provided the items are shipped in the same parcel.

Some countries also require an import permit. We advise that you research your local country’s importing rules, to find out if an additional import permit is required. Please visit this website to find your local national contact for further information: http://www.cites.org/cms/index.php/component/cp

You may choose to have a crocodile product sent without a permit, however if your parcel is inspected at customs your crocodile product may be confiscated. If confiscated, it will not be covered by our insurance. This is a random process and your parcel may or may not be opened/inspected. If you would like us to ship a crocodile product outside Australia, we strongly recommend that you purchase the permit.

If you have a crocodile product delivered inside Australia and plan to travel with the product overseas, a Cites ‘accompanied baggage’ permit is required. This permit can be organised upon email request. This permit costs $5.00 AUD. It enables the items to be carried overseas as hand luggage only.

If you choose to post a crocodile product onwards overseas or require and further information, we recommend that you contact the Department of Environment and Heritage; website link:

Sizing

How do I work out my hat size?

Simply obtain a tape measure and measure the circumference of the head, just above the ears. Ensure that the tape is wound straight around the head and is level from front to back. You should feel a bump in the back of the head - please ensure that the tape sits over the bump, as this will be the widest part.

Please measure a few times for accuracy. If the measurement is in between sizes, please select the larger size; for example, a head measuring 58.1cm to 59cm would take a size 59 hat.

It is always best to buy a hat that is a little too big, rather than too small. As well as moulding to your head, your Akubra hat will shrink over time. If a hat feels too loose initially, you can pack the inside of the crown to make the hat feel smaller, or use a Hat Insert. Hat Inserts can be purchased from our website and can be stuck against the inside leather band at the front of the hat, it will create a smaller, more comfortable fit.

Most of our hat sizes are displayed in metric measurements (centimetres). To convert your size to metric, please select the Hat size chart.

If you have any difficulty determining your size, please send us the measurements and we can recommend a size to fit. Contact us here.

How do I work out my boot size?

Blundstone and Redback Boots half sizes are only wider and are not longer than full sizes. If you normally wear wide fitting shoes, we suggest that you order a Blundstone or Redback half size for the extra width.

If you are unsure which shoe size to purchase, please follow the following steps:

1. Draw a straight line, longer than your foot, on a piece of paper.

2. Place the paper on a flat surface. Stand on the line with your heel and longest toe centred on the line.

3. Place a mark on the line at the tip of the longest toe and at the back of the heel.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other foot.

5. Measure the distance between the marks, taking the larger of the two measurements (do not allow for a safety margin beyond this measurement). Use this measurement with the conversion charts below to find your correct shoe size.

Product Care Instructions

How do I care for my felt hat?

Never leave your Hat in the Sun or in the car on a hot day. The hat itself will not shrink, however the leather band inside the hat will and it’s difficult to stretch back.

Rest your hat on its crown or a hatstand/hook. Resting the hat on its brim will cause the brim to distort.

Cleaning: If your felt hat is slightly soiled with dust and/or grime, firstly brush the hat in an anti-clockwise direction to remove any dust and then lightly rub the affected area with a vinegar & water solution (50/50). Car upholstery cleaner can also be used. Spray on and leave for 15-20 seconds then wipe off with a damp cloth. Any serious marks should be cleaned by a hat cleaning specialist/refurbisher.

To remove perspiration marks from the inside leather band of your felt hat: you can rub the band with eucalyptus oil, or use a Eucalyptus wash. To make a Eucalyptus wash: mix 360 grams of pure soap flakes with 500 ml of methylated spirits and one tablespoon of eucalyptus oil. Dissolve one tablespoon of eucalyptus wash in a basin of hot water. Adjust the water temperature until tepid, then wring out a rough towel in the solution and sponge the stained area until clean. Let the hat dry naturally - do not force dry.

Water marks on the felt of the hat can be removed by sponging gently with vinegar & water solution 50/50.

How to re-shape your felt hat?

Fur felt hats may be steamed by hand, using steam from a boiling kettle. Always steam the top of the hat and never steam inside or underneath the hat, as this will affect the internal hat band. Simply boil the kettle and place the hat about 10 cm from the spout of the kettle steam for a few seconds (take care to ensure you don't burn your hands!). The felt will become soft and pliable. Use your hands, a surface or even your belly to gently mould the hat into shape. As the hat dries, it will take on the new shape. Please be patient, it may take more than one attempt at steaming to create the desired shape.

If you would like a truly flat brim, you may gently iron the brim, using the lowest setting on your iron. Place a handkerchief or similar cloth between the iron and the felt - do not iron directly on to the felt.

How do I care for my oilskin garment?

  • Always let your oilskin dry naturally after use.
  • Hand wash or soak with cold water only. Do not put your oilskin garment into a washing machine. Do not use detergent. 
  • For cleaning, light marks can be sponged with a damp sponge and cold water.
  • Mud can be removed by allowing the mud to dry and gently brushing away with a soft brush.
  • Oilskin fabric can also be hosed down periodically with cold water, to remove dust.
  • Over time the oil and wax coating will slowly evaporate. If you find your oilskin garment is leaking, this is a good sign to apply some Drizabone Oilskin Reproofer.

My oilskin coat has developed a foul smell or mould, how do I remove these?

The foul smell is caused by mould growing in the fabric. The best way to remove mould is to hang your coat in full, hot sunshine for a good couple of weeks.

If you do not have a suitable climate, a solution of white vinegar and water will also kill mould/mildew. Mix one part vinegar to two parts of water and spray or sponge on to the mould. More than one application may be needed depending on the extent of the mould.

Once you have removed the mould, the coat will need a wash (see step 1 of next question)

Sunlight evaporates the oil/wax coating. If the oil has evaporated from your coat, you may need to apply some Drizabone Oilskin Reproofer to maintain water repellency (see next question)

My oilskin coat is leaking. How do I re-treat my oilskin coat?

The first sign of leakage usually occurs in the crease area on the sleeve of the coat.

We recommend a treatment of Drizabone Oilskin Reproofer.

To re-oil your coat, please follow these steps.

1. Clean your coat by soaking it in a bath tub or laundry basin of cold water - add a cap full of a mild liquid detergent (one that is suitable for woollen garments). Agitate the water for a few minutes and then allow the coat to soak overnight. Then rinse out your coat with fresh water. It is very important to remove all dust before applying the Driza-Bone garment dressing. If you do not remove dust: The garment dressing will stick to any dust remaining; when the dust dislodges it will leave tiny holes in the fabric exposed, which will leak.

2) Allow the coat to dry naturally.

3) Wait for a hot day to re-oil: the hotter the day, the better the results. Place the coat in bright sunshine and allow it to heat up. Heat the garment dressing until it turns to liquid – this can be done by putting the can of dressing in the sun or a saucepan of hot water. At the hottest time of the day, sparingly apply the dressing to the coat, using a clean cloth. Add a little extra dressing to the seams. The sun will spread the dressing evenly and quickly through the coat fabric.

4) If you do not have a suitable climate then you will need a hand-held hair drier to work the dressing into the cloth.

5) Your coat will now be ready to give you full protection.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
