What makes a good Australian hat for the sun? 

Hats are essential for life in Australia, and it’s not hard to see why. The hot, dry climate here means every Australian has a trusted hat to combat the beating sun. Whether you're working on the land in Queensland, heading to a Western Australian beach or watching footy in Melbourne, the right hat makes all the difference.

The best Australian hats last decades, not seasons. These brands understand our conditions and are built to cop years of abuse from harsh sun, sudden storms and everything in between. 
Don't wear it once. We sell quality sun hats and caps built to last.

Choosing the right hat brand

For long-lasting quality:

You can’t skip Akubra. Made in Kempskey, NSW, Akubra felt hats have been part of the Australian landscape for generations. Most families have an Akubra or two with a story to tell – often passed down as heirlooms or worn until they fall apart, stained with red earth and sweat.

Available in over 20 styles from the famous Cattleman to the Rough Rider, to casual fedoras, there’s an Akubra for pretty much everyone.

For travel and adventure:  

Jacaru leather hats are purpose-built to be packable and tough. Made on the Gold Coast from premium leathers (including incredibly strong yet soft kangaroo), they fold up for travel and handle rough conditions beautifully. Perfect for 4WD trips, camping or fishing expeditions.

For hot Australian summers: 

When the heat kicks in, switch to a straw hat. Lightweight, breathable designs allow airflow while still protecting you from the sun. Ideal for long outdoor days, whether you're working in the garden or watching sport. 

For classic country & western styles: 

Thomas Cook and Ringers Western deliver across both country and western styles. These hats balance durability with style and many feature wide brims for sun protection and classic cattleman crowns, making them suited to the paddock or a weekend away. 

Caps and bucket hats for casual wear:

R.M. Williams and Anthem caps bring Australian quality to everyday styles, while Ringer's Western trucker caps are hugely popular across the country. All our caps offer durability and proper construction, with plenty of colour options for men and women.

FAQs: 

How do I know my hat size? 

1. Get a soft tape measure
2. Measure around your head just above your ears and eyebrows and over the bump at the back of your head. This is usually where the hat will sit.
3. Match that measurement to the size chart.
4. If you're between sizes, go larger – you can always add a hat filler inside if it's a bit loose.

To see how we do it, you can watch our video on How to Measure Your Head/ Hat Size. 

Which hats are made in Australia? 

• Akubra hats are proudly made in Kempsey, NSW
• Jacaru hats are manufactured on the Gold Coast, Queensland 

Both brands maintain Australian manufacturing, ensuring quality craftsmanship and supporting local jobs.

How to tell if a cap is good quality? 

Brands like R.M. Williams and Ringers Western use proper construction methods that ensure caps last years, not months. Beyond the brand, look for:

• Reinforced stitching
• Quality materials (not thin polyester)
• Structured peaks that hold their shape
• Adjustable closures that don't feel flimsy 

Plus, we’re an authorised retailer for these Australian hat brands. This means you’ll always get the manufacturer's warranty on hats and caps you buy from us. 

Do you have any hat care tips?

Here are some essential tips to keep your felt hat looking fresh and sharp: 

• Use a brush or a light coloured sponge for light marks.  
• If trying to clean off mud, let it dry first.
• If the mark is a liquid stain, blot with half vinegar and water for most stains.
