Pre-Order to Lock in Your Size
Our hats don’t come off the rack they’re made to order with care and intention. When you pre-order, you’re claiming a handcrafted piece that’s just for you.
Turnaround Time:
Your hat will be ready to ship in about 1 to 2 weeks. That gives us time to source the materials, craft your piece, give it a final quality check, and get it on the road to you. (If you're outside Australia, your delivery might take a little longer.)
These timeframes are best estimates—things like customs or postal delays can occasionally pop up. But trust us, your hat will be well worth the wait.
You can find all the finer details in the Pre-Orders section of our shipping page.

I've had my Barmah hat for a few years now, and it's my absolute go-to for anything outdoors. Whether I'm hiking in the bush, fishing by the river, or just enjoying a sunny day, it's comfortable, durable, and looks great. The quality is outstanding – it's held up to some pretty rough treatment and still looks fantastic. Highly recommend!"

I've worn this hat in various conditions, and it holds up exceptionally well. The kangaroo leather is both soft and sturdy, and the mesh sides keep my head cool.
Thanks,
