Description

Big Jim’s Leather Bush Hat

The track dissolves into green and water somewhere deep in the Amazon Basin camps. Heat sits heavy from first light, the air thick enough to feel with your hands. This is where wide shade stops being a comfort and starts being non-negotiable. Big Jim’s sits low and steady as you move between riverbank and clearing, the brim throwing hard shadow while everything else sweats and hums.

The days stretch long out here. Sun straight overhead. Sudden breaks of rain. Long pauses under canvas waiting for the worst of it to pass. The hat stays on through all of it, cutting glare, shedding heat, earning its place without fuss. You stop thinking about it, which is exactly the point. When the jungle closes in and the light gets brutal, gear either works or it doesn’t.

This one does.

Style #: 3H11

Material & Care

Full Grain Leather 

Highest quality bovine leather retaining the complete grain layer. It features the most strength and durability of all leather types, displaying natural textures and uncorrected imperfections that enhance its aesthetic

CARE
  • Do not wash or dry clean – brush off dirt with a soft brush or wipe clean with a damp cloth. Periodically apply leather conditioners to maintain flexibility and prevent drying out.
  • Avoid leaving leather goods in a hot car where the high temperatures may affect the quality and finish of the leather.
  • A good rule of thumb is - if it's too hot to touch, then it's too hot for your hat!

I have never received my hat - GERMANY

I cannot recommend purchasing a product shipped from Australia unless there is a European distributor. My parcel never arrived.

Very high quality hats

I recently purchased 3 hats from Kakadu Australia. One was their Big Jim’s Bush Hat.

I have worn all three hats and I can state without any reservation that all three hats are of the highest quality and I am so pleased that I purchased these hats.

Before purchasing I did my research. I wanted to support local businesses, so that was a primary focus. Through my research I found several Companies that are Australian and producing such hats. My further research focused on the comments from purchasers about their experiences and comments about their purchases. I then considered range of hats available, materials used, quality, and then the price of their hats.

All of my research led me to choose Kakadu Traders Australia.

So I then purchased not one, but three hats. All three are my favourite because I use each hat for different occasions. They all fit well, of the highest quality, extremely well made and are very well priced.

The three hats I purchase are one of each of the following.

Darwin Breeze Hat in Brown
Big Jim's Bush Hat - Brown
Bourke Breeze Wide Brim Soaka Hat

As a final comment,

I had reason to contact Kakadu to discuss a matter, and I spoke with Rita. Rita was excellent in her professionalism and was pleasant to deal with.

I have no reservation in recommending Kakadu’s hats!
