Description

Karumba Kangaroo Leather Hat

The track loosens as it pushes into the Kalahari Desert, sand pale and dry under a sky that does not offer much forgiveness. Distance is measured in heat and patience. You move slow, camel riding when the ground softens, boots back on when it hardens again.

By mid-day the Skeleton Coast Road comes into play, long and empty, a Defender 110 rolling steady with nothing to chase and nowhere to rush. Dust settles into the seams of everything. The Karumba stays shaped and grounded, waxed kangaroo leather taking on the day without complaint, the genuine crocodile leather band darkening with use.

Late afternoon brings stillness. The engine ticks down. Someone cracks a frosty Tusker brew and lets it breathe before the first pull. No speeches. No schedule. Just relief and earned quiet.

This is travel stripped back to exposure, motion, and what lasts.

Style #: 20H44

Material & Care

Waxy kangaroo leather

Premium kangaroo leather enhanced with a wax finish for enhanced texture and water resistance

Care
  • Do not wash or dry clean – brush off surface dirt with a soft brush and/or wipe clean with a damp rag. 
  • Periodically apply a leather wax to maintain water resistance and protect the finish.
  • To avoid oil transfer, keep away from light-colored fabrics, especially in warm conditions.
  • 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!

What a Hat!

The thick croc leather hatband is a lot more subtle than the regular band with teeth which suits me to the ground. Looks awesome on. My new fav!
