Free Delivery

For a limited time on orders over $100.

We use the StarTrack Premium service for the fastest shipping. It is delivered by the courier contracted to Australia Post.

We send an order confirmation with the tracking info and then send another notification when the item is on board for delivery, and then a final email, once it has been delivered. Please note we require someone to sign for the delivery.

Check our size guide  here  to help you determine your hat size. 

If you are between sizes, choose the larger size as Akubra hats do not stretch and may even tighten over time (depending on the way they are treated). It is easier to add padding to a hat that is too large to make it smaller than it is to try and stretch a small hat to make it larger. 

We ship Monday -Thursday. Any order placed before 9:30am AEDT will ship that day. We use the StarTrack Premium which is one of the fastest shipping options available.

We offer a 60 day return period. You can either exchange or select store credit.

Working out your size - getting it right the first time.

• Do not use size charts or advice from other sites.
• Do not simply convert US or UK size standards on our charts to a metric size. We provide the charts as guide, not as a rule.
• Measure your head, different manufacturers have differing interpretations of size as happens across other clothing lines.
• Measuring your head takes a few minutes and takes the guesswork out of the equation. Please use a dress makers tape measure and not a piece of string...
• Size charts and advice are designed for Felt Hats (Akubra and Fedora) and Leather Hats (Barmah)
• Always presume that a hat will shrink in size, they do not stretch over time.
• Adjustment foam strips and detailed care instructions are sent with each hat. Enough strips are sent to reduce a hat by one size.
• We happily exchange to anywhere in the world, but getting it right the first time is easier for all of us.
• Ask us for advice, the advice we provide is based on many years experience in mail order and selling hats. We are happy to answer as many questions as you need to ask.

Fedora, Akubra and Felt Hats

The size chart below is a guide to equivalent sizes in other measures. If you are unsure of your head size, please remeasure your head in inches or cms.

• We recommend re-measuring your head size in inches or cms and converting from the new measurement.
• Place a tape measure above the ears, and take it around the widest part of your head. The tape should be firm but not too tight. If in between sizes, round up to the closest size, ie 56.2 should be 57, 57.7 should be a 58 etc.
• We supply FREE foam adjustment tape or pads to adjust the hat to a perfect fit.
• We supply enough tape to convert a hat a full size down, ie a size 58 becomes a size 57.

Barmah Canvas & Leather Hats

In the event of a hat not fitting we accept returns. If you still need assistance or want to double check the result please contact us at  [email protected] and we will be happy to advise further.

A softer pliable felt hat designed specifically for the adventurer among us. This hat has a unique memory which allows it to be manipulated back to shape if mistreated.

Features a plaited bonded leather band and soft inner sweatband. This hat also features a buckram inner band.

Brim:  76mm, Felt Edge

*Note: Colour of hat may vary slightly from the picture.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HAT SIZE

Get a soft tape measure or a long strip of strong paper and place it around your head in the position you wear your hat. The tape should be level, in the centre of your forehead and just above the top of your ears. If the measurement is in between sizes select the next size up; eg. 59.5cm = 60cm.

Hint: Akubra Hats – due to our climate, many Australian’s buy one size bigger and pack (foam sizing insert - supplied by us) behind the sweatband to tighten the hat until it adjusts to the wearer’s head. A hat that is too tight will never feel comfortable.

About Akubra:

Akubra is an Australian hat manufacturer. The company is associated with bush hats made of rabbit fur felt with wide brims that are worn in rural Australia.

In  1874  Benjamin Dunkerley arrived in Tasmania from England and decided to start a hat making business in Hobart. His skills as a hatter were backed by his ability to invent machinery, and soon after his arrival he had developed a mechanical method of removing the hair tip from rabbit fur so the under-fur could be used in felt hat making. Previously this task had to be done by hand.

By 2015 Akubra has produced two million hats for the military.

Akubra Hats are still proudly Australian made in Kempsey.

Measuring Your Head Size

To determine your hat size, follow these 3 simple steps:

• Measure the circumference around your head - approximately 12mm (1/2") above the ears
• Keep the dressmaker tape level and firm, across the temple and above the eyebrow ridges.
• Check the size chart given below to determine your size.

 **Scroll across to see larger sizes

AKUBRA Heads come in all sizes, and in a surprising variety of shapes. Although Akubra hats are adaptable and will usually conform to differences in shape with a little wearing, it is essential that the size be correct for your head.

For an enduring fit with your new Akubra the following points should be considered:

• The Sheepskin inner band of the hat may shrink slightly with use. Do not expect a tight-fitting hat to 'loosen up'
• In time, the hat will conform to your head shape. Initially, a slightly loose-fitting hat can be adjusted using folded tissue placed behind the inner band, then removed as the hat conforms to your head shape.

NOTE: For in-between measurements use the next size up.

We make all reasonable efforts to achieve and where possible exceed the following delivery expectations:

All sizes are approximate*

Measure your Head Size

To determine your hat size, follow these 4 simple steps:

• Using either a soft tape measure or a piece of string - Measure the circumference around your head.
• The tape should be level, in the centre of your forehead and just above the top of your ears. It is useful to have someone assist in holding the tape which should be adjusted to a comfortable fit and the measurement taken.
• Then check our size chart below to determine your size.
• If your size falls between two sizes, choose the next size up. You can always attach foam fillers (available for sale) to ensure a snug fit.

About Akubra:

Akubra is an Australian hat manufacturer. The company is associated with bush hats made of rabbit fur felt with wide brims that are worn in rural Australia.

In  1874  Benjamin Dunkerley arrived in Tasmania from England and decided to start a hat making business in Hobart. His skills as a hatter were backed by his ability to invent machinery, and soon after his arrival he had developed a mechanical method of removing the hair tip from rabbit fur so the under-fur could be used in felt hat making. Previously this task had to be done by hand.

By 2015 Akubra has produced two million hats for the military.

Akubra Hats are still proudly Australian made in Kempsey.

Akubra Traveller - Black

The Traveller is relatively new to the Akubra family, but boy has it made itself at home. Not only tough but an incredibly comfortable hat due to the use of a softer, pliable felt and cotton sweatband, it has been designed specifically for the adventurer among us. This hat has a unique memory that allows it to be manipulated back to shape if accidentally crushed.

• 76mm welted brim
• Bonded leather braided band
• Padded cotton/buckram sweatband
• Made in Kempsey, Australia

Fabric:  100% Rabbit fur felt, unlined

Please note: The Traveller has not been specifically designed as a rollable or foldable hat, and should not be purposefully crushed if it is to retain its original shape. 

Colours may vary slightly from photographs. 

Most if not all fur felt hats are shower-proof, and can confidently be worn in light to moderate rain without fear of the material or shape being damaged.  

Constant wear in HEAVY rain will cause any hat to distort and potentially shrink over time. Let your hat dry naturally, away from any heat source, while resting on its crown.    

Brush counter-clockwise with a soft-bristle brush to remove dust and light marks.  

Most hats can also be treated with water-proofing spray for extra protection, but always remember to spray a test area first, to make sure the product won’t mark the felt.  

Never leave your felt hat in extreme heat conditions, such as the dashboard of a car, or near a heater/radiator. This will mainly cause leather sweatbands to shrink or warp.

Some wool felt hats are produced to be ‘water resistant’ or ‘crush-proof’, and will indeed be so for a certain amount of time. At Brisbane Hatters we prefer to err on the side of caution and recommend that wool felts not be worn in the rain, or used as packable hats unless absolutely required. 

Over time wool can shrink, fade, and lose it’s shape if treated roughly, and can be much trickier to repair than fur felt if this happens.

General care tips for wool hats are the same as for fur felts, but for cleaning it would also be good to keep a sticky lint-roller handy. Wool can generate more static than other materials, and that lint roller will be better for removing stubborn specs and animal hair.

PANAMA STRAW

Handwoven Panama hats can be just as much art as they are fashion, and some extra care should be taken when handling and wearing them.  

Take you Panama hat on and off by it’s brim, and not by its pinch (the posted part of the crown). Regular handling of the pinch can cause the straw to crease and eventually split, even if the fabric is reinforced. The more that you can avoid this, the better your Panama will look and behave (and protect you!).    

We recommend never wearing your Panama in the rain. The straw can absorb a small about of moisture, and this won’t damage the material itself, but prolonged dampness can make it fall out of shape. Your hat can most likely be re-blocked if this happens, but prevention is always better than a cure. Brisbane Hatters does not recommend trying to waterproof your Panama hat.

Keep Panamas and natural straw hats out of extreme heat conditions. This can dry out the straw and cause it to become brittle. If you live in a particularly hot or dry area, it’s best to spritz your Panama hat every so often with a mister (spray bottle) to stop the straw from drying out too much.

A note on rollable Panama hats: There certainly are still Panama weavers in Ecuador that make incredibly high grade, rollable hats. These exquisite pieces must be woven and shaped in a very particular way in order to make them *reliably* packable, and can sell for many thousands of dollars.   Less expensive versions of rollable Panamas do certainly exist, but should always be folded as infrequently as possible to retain the integrity of the straw. Just because you ‘can’, doesn’t always mean you ’should’ when it comes to foldable hats, especially if the price seemed too good to be true.

PAPER/HEMP/RAFFIA

Do not get paper hats wet. They are made of paper. They will lose their shape. Paper weave or paper braid hats can be excellent to wear in the sun, as their lightweight and inexpensive, which is especially handy if you’re on holiday, but they are not all-weather hats. 

Hemp and raffia hats have a similar set of instructions. These will certainly be tougher than paper straw, but can soften considerable with exposure to moisture/rain. Stiffened hemp hats, such as those from Akubra, can be worn in showers and re-stiffened over time if need be, but for any softer styles, this should be avoided.

Cloth caps and hats generally need little care, and can be warn in almost any conditions. Exceptions to this rule would be caps containing cashmere, which should be kept out of heavy rain. If you do get caught out, let the cap dry slowly, then brush it down along the nap of the cashmere to smooth out the fibres.  

A gentle spot-clean or hand wash will get out most stubborn stains using an appropriate fabric cleaner. We advise not to machine wash, soak, or dry clean your cloth hats, just to be safe.

Wipe over with a damp cloth if soiled, or dust can simply be brushed off with a soft bristle brush. To keep your hat soft and flexible for as long as possible, avoid leaving it in extreme heat (ie, on a car dashboard). If your leather hat or cap is going to see constant rain or snow, we recommend regularly treating it with a fabric water-proofer.

All leather, especially the Crackle finish roo leather hats, will show natural scarring and variations. These are not seen as flaws, but rather add to the life and story behind the hat.  

Always store your hat either upside down on its crown, or on a suitable hook or hat stand. This will help maintain brim-shape, and reduce the amount of dust or muck that settles on in.  

If your hats are going into storage for the off-season, we recommend using a sturdy box packed with acid-free tissue to support its brim and crown. Also throw in some silica packs (the little de-humidifiers that come in shoe boxes and new bags) and some moth-balls or lavender soap. This will reduce the chance of any nasty surprises the next time you wear it.

If something goes wrong with any of the above, please feel free to contact us at Brisbane Hatters and we can provide any repairs or maintenance that your new favourite (or old favourite!) hat requires.

We make all reasonable efforts to achieve and where possible exceed the following delivery expectations:
